¿Cómo traduciriáis "against the background of the recent history" en el siguiente contexto?
This article presents the results of a series of investigative interviews carried out in Greece in August 2011 against the background of the recent history of asylum and migration in Greece, and the legal frameworks discussed in the next section. The interviews aimed to assess the activities of Frontex, EASO, the new asylum committees, and Greek authorities, as well as NGOs and international organisations, in addressing Greece's asylum crisis under the aegis of the action plan. The article seeks to build on research undertaken by various non-governmental organisations, independent researchers, international institutions and the FRA by evaluating progress made during 2011 investigating remaining obstacles to the effective application of European and international support.

IN (FURTHER) RESPONSE TO ROBERT'S COMMENT BELOW:
My initial use of the equal [=] sign was to provide a quick, visual way to convey the general sense of the phrase in English (and obviously was not a translation, as the phrases were both in English). When looking at questions of frequency, and of the imagery that a given phrase might convey, I think that "a la luz de" fits rather nicely, as it conveys both the meaning of the original and a certain degree of (context-appropriate) imagery as well.

Please see my note. >I think "against the background" has a similar level of formality (and frequency) as "a la luz de" // "in the context of" can be translated literally
