Abstract

Changes in the role of local government institutions regarding social policies can easily be identified at three points of time in the period from 1980 until today. This is not a matter of an arbitrary division, but of decisive points where the course taken by local governments and social policy has intersected in the context of the Third Hellenic Republic.1 The purpose of this article is to show that the relationship between the institutions of local government and social policy—in addition to being continuous—also illustrates transformations in the content and orientation of formal social protection in Greece.
