Abstract

Abstract The paper first, indicates the references made by Greek legal order to different kind of cultural experts. Adopting a broader sociolegal definition of cultural expertise, it also refers to “cultural mediator,” a notion which has been introduced by the European Fund for the Integration of third-country nationals which launched the first educational programs for their training in Greece. The so-called cultural mediators should facilitate communication between third-country nationals and Greek Administration, the respect of their rights and thus in long term their integration. Secondly, the chapter exposes the experiences made by Asylum Service employees and lawyers of NGOs involved in the granting or refusing asylum proceedings. It will try to show how cultural mediation for asylum seekers works in action by exploring how do lawyers and officers involved in the process of asylum granting describe it. They also give their opinion about the training prerequisites for someone to work as a mediator and they refer to some common topics why cultural experts are mostly needed. Thirdly, the chapter presents the joint arguments of Greek anthropological theory and the political theory about EU regarding the importance of the effort to understand, to respect, and to integrate the culturally and politically different refugees. Cultural expertise may help Greek State and Society in learning how to respect the principle of equality and difference. At the same time, it may serve as a venue to solidify EU as a multiethnic political community and a cosmopolitan legal order.
希腊庇护授予程序中的文化专业知识:评估经验和前景
摘要本文首先指出了希腊法律秩序对各类文化专家的借鉴。采用更广泛的社会法律对文化专业知识的定义,它还提到了“文化调解人”,这一概念是由欧洲第三国国民一体化基金引入的,该基金在希腊启动了第一个培训第三国国民的教育计划。所谓的文化调解人应促进第三国国民与希腊行政当局之间的交流,尊重他们的权利,从而长期使他们融入社会。其次,本章揭露了庇护服务雇员和非政府组织律师参与批准或拒绝庇护程序的经验。它将通过探索参与庇护授予过程的律师和官员如何描述它,试图展示寻求庇护者的文化调解如何在行动中发挥作用。他们还就调解员的培训条件提出了自己的看法,并提到了一些常见的话题,为什么最需要文化专家。第三,本章提出了希腊人类学理论和欧盟政治理论关于努力理解、尊重和整合文化和政治上不同的难民的重要性的联合论点。文化专业知识可以帮助希腊国家和社会学习如何尊重平等和差异的原则。与此同时,它可能成为巩固欧盟作为一个多民族政治共同体和世界性法律秩序的场所。
