The objective of the research project consists in examining the contribution civil society engagement can perform in the reform process Greece is currently going through. Greece has not been the country most afflicted by the finance and sovereign debt crisis, but has also in the course of coming to grips with the socio-economic impacts of consolidation and austerity expe-rienced a renaissance of civil society engagement. For the most part beyond the confines of the traditional NGOs activities the nascent forms of civil society's self-organisation have not only pro-vided ample evidence for the considerable amount of resilience Greek society can draw on to meet the far-reaching impacts of the consolidation course. Additionally, they have brought to the fore the question of a thorough-going change in the relations between state and society. To all appearances, the manifold initiatives, collectives and activities of civil engagement testify to the need for a renewal of the social contract in Greece, because they function as a mirror-image of the unwillingness of the political system to readjust the relations between state governance and civil society interest articulation. The research project shall accordingly explore the reform po-tentials of civil society self-organisation both in the formal NGO and the informal (grass roots) civil society sector by examining a wide spectrum of civil action ranging from networks and cooperatives in the field of social economy, exchange networks and parallel currencies to social health centres and agricultural self-help groups.

该研究项目的目标在于研究民间社会的参与在希腊目前正在经历的改革进程中可以做出的贡献。希腊并不是受金融和主权债务危机影响最严重的国家，但在应对整顿和紧缩政策的社会经济影响的过程中，民间社会参与度有所复兴。在很大程度上超出了传统非政府组织活动的范围，新兴的公民社会自组织形式不仅提供了充分的证据，证明希腊社会可以利用相当大的弹性来应对巩固过程的深远影响。此外，它们还提出了彻底改变国家与社会关系的问题。从表面上看，公民参与的多种倡议、集体和活动证明了希腊社会契约更新的必要性，因为它们反映了政治制度不愿意重新调整国家治理与公民社会利益表达之间的关系。因此，研究项目将通过考察从社会经济领域的网络和合作社、交换网络和平行货币到社会保健中心和农业自助团体等广泛的民间行动，探索正式非政府组织和非正式（草根）民间社会部门的民间社会自组织的改革潜力。
