This is a historiographical essay about the impact of the population exchange on the political sphere in Greece and Turkey. Notwithstanding the asymmetry in the literature produced in the two countries—excessive in Greece and limited in Turkey—there have been two seminal narratives regarding the impact of the exchange on interwar politics. In regard to Greece, the political cleavage between refugees and locals is shown as the basic factor shaping politics. In regard to Turkey, the exodus of the Christian bourgeoisie is seen as a major factor behind the authoritarianism of the interwar regime. Nevertheless, recent research on local communities that specifically explores refugee and exchangee agency in local and regional politics and studies the place of refugees and exchangees in state demographic projects goes beyond the limitations of macro perspectives, qualifying the prevailing theses on the impact of the exchange on politics in both countries.
