Summary:According to the editors, the involvement of the then-mayor of Thessaloniki, Giannis Boutaris, was decisive in the organization/direction of the conference. [...]the Greeks who settled in Thessaloniki did not arrive to disrupt its cosmopolitanism and alter its ethnological composition. The nature of the “national system” which prevailed in Thessaloniki is also linked to serious developments which affected the city during the 1940s—the Occupation, the Civil War, and a justified sense of insecurity which was a dominant factor during the Cold War due to a perceived threat from neighboring communist countries and especially because of the Macedonian Question.
