The article is based on a study the author conducted betwen 2015–2018 in Greece. The author observed the emergence and growth of a new economy that was established around refugee settlements and included food, health and transportation suppliers, security guards, aid workers, cleaners, and cross-examiners. Recognizing the similarities with the situation in Kosovo between 1999 and 2004, the author analyzes multiple “innovative entrepreneurship initiatives” that emerged and tried to get funding from the EU for anything that could be interpreted as “humanitarian architecture”.
