Book Synopsis Cyprus: A European Anomaly by : Michael Moran (Expert on Cyprus)
Download or read book Cyprus: A European Anomaly written by Michael Moran (Expert on Cyprus) and published by GPoT. This book was released on 2010 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have published most of the items in this booklet before. Denktaş's speech before the United Nations (UN) Security Council in 1964 was included in my edition of Rauf Denktash at the United Nations: Speeches on Cyprus (The Eothen Press, Huntingdon, 1997); and except for a few small changes, my opening essay here differs little from the first chapter of my book Sovereignty Divided: Essays on the International Dimensions of the Cyprus Problem (CYREP, Nicosia, 1998; third enlarged imprint, 1999). These earlier works are now out of print and will probably remain so. But given the current stage of the seemingly interminable negotiations for a settlement in Cyprus, I thought it might be useful to make certain items available once more for the benefit of those diplomats, government officials, European Union (EU) parliamentarians, academics, journalists and other persons interested in Cyprus, many of whom may have only recently become concerned with the extraordinary intractable problems of the 'divided island.' More especially, this booklet should help those who are tempted to accept a largely Greek account of what is at stake in Cyprus to realise that such a one-sided conception will never lead to the just, equitable and permanent reconciliation between the two Cypriot communities that the international community has been seeking for so long.
Book Synopsis Cyprus and the Roadmap for Peace by : Michális S. Michael
Download or read book Cyprus and the Roadmap for Peace written by Michális S. Michael and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2018-10-26 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The UN-led Cyprus peace process is in desperate need of radical transformation. This book makes a notable contribution towards changing the current discourse by empowering the main parties to better value their relationship. By altering goals and perceptions, the authors explore alternative visions for the future of Cyprus, suggesting both realistically feasible and politically challenging ideas. Using an exciting, innovative and multifocal approach, the authors discuss the practical application of specific solutions and explore the radical disagreements of the conflict at both social and political levels. Reflecting on the idea of a 'post-settlement' state of affairs and the prospect of such a reality, chapters illustrate the problems, challenges and political dynamics of Cyprus. The book explores the conceptual approaches to dialogue; reviews Greek, Turkish and Cypriot policies; probes the challenging roles of the UN and EU; canvasses Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot perspectives on the conflict; and, finally, offers dialogical reflections and debates on past and future problems. Allowing open and expressive dialogue, this book will interest those in academic and practitioner roles focused on international politics, conflict resolution and peace studies. It allows for further understanding of the complex perspectives presented in Cyprus that have great relevance in other international settings.
Book Synopsis Elite Schools in Globalising Circumstances by : Jane Kenway
Download or read book Elite Schools in Globalising Circumstances written by Jane Kenway and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elite Schools in Globalizing Circumstances foregrounds the richly theoretical and empirically-based work of an international cast of scholars seeking to break out of the confines of the methodological nationalism that now governs so much of contemporary scholarship on schooling. Based on a 5-year extended global ethnography of elite schools in nine different countries—countries defined by colonial pasts linked to England—the contributors make a powerful case for the rethinking of elite schools and elite class formation theory in light of contemporary processes of globalization and transnational change. Prestigious, high-status schools have long been seen as critical institutional vehicles directly contributing to the societal processes of elite selection and reproduction. This book asserts that much has changed and that these schools can no longer rest on their past laurels and accomplishments. Instead they must re-cast their heritages and tradition in order to navigate the new globally competitive educational field enabling them to succeed in a world in which the globalization of educational markets, the global ambitions and imaginations of school youth, and the emergence of new powerful players peddling entrepreneurial models of curriculum and education, have placed contemporary schooling under tremendous pressure. This insightful and though-provoking volume provides a well-researched perspective on the nature of contemporary schooling in the globalizing era. This book was originally published as a special issue of Globalisation, Societies and Education.
Author :Harry Anastasiou Publisher :AuthorHouse ISBN 13 :1425943608 Total Pages :511 pages Book Rating :4.4/5 (259 download)
Download or read book written by Harry Anastasiou and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2006-08-01 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harry Anastasiou, peace scholar, practitioner and educator, takes the struggle for peace and reconciliation in his native Cyprus as a model for understanding the belligerent nature of ethno-centric nationalism everywhere. From the vantage point of Peace Studies and Conflict Resolution theory and practice, Anastasiou's analysis offers uncharted new insights and a fresh perspective on the protracted nature of the Cyprus conflict, the causes of the long rivalry between Greece and Turkey, and the tangible prospects for peace within the conciliatory framework of the European Union. Drawing from a variety of academic disciplines, and synthesizing a broad array of historical, political and cultural phenomena, Anastasiou's work presents an understanding of the Cyprus conflict that is both challenging and indispensable for the quest for peace in the Eastern Mediterranean region. In its non-partisan and highly interdisciplinary approach, the work marks a unique and significant contribution to scholarship in the field of Peace and Conflict Studies and the Cyprus problem. Its clear and methodical analysis makes the complex problems it addresses academically intelligible and pedagogically accessible to university students and interested citizens. Anastasiou's work is an engaging encounter with the phenomenon of ethno-centric nationalism, as well as a provocative educational venture in inter-ethnic peace and reconciliation.

Download or read book Embracing Cyprus written by Pauline Green and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2003-03-28 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Archbishop Makarios was toppled as President of Cyprus in a 1974 coup, and Turkish forces invaded the island, few saw Cyprus as part of the incipient drive to create a new Europe. Yet, as Pauline Green reveals here, behind the rhetoric of the politicians there is a growing view among Greek and Turkish Cypriots that the solution to Cyprus' problems lies within the gift of Europe. And yet the problems remain knotty - not least because of the highly sensitive and little-discussed role of the British military bases on the island, whose security and intelligence-gathering functions are so crucial to UK and US interests in the region. The author's analysis should interest those concerned not only with the future of Cyprus, Turkey and the Eastern Mediterranean, but also with the fate of the European Union itself.
Book Synopsis Party-Society Relations in the Republic of Cyprus by : Giorgos Charalambous
Download or read book Party-Society Relations in the Republic of Cyprus written by Giorgos Charalambous and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-11-19 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Republic of Cyprus’ social and political culture is deeply partitocratic, with a close relationship between state apparatus and the parties that influence the government’s decisions. However, little is known about the social and political implications of the above traits, and even less about how parties influence and are influenced by society at large. The concept of linkage, which refers to the linking of citizens with government and the political process, is vital in the study of the electoral or ideological considerations of parties. Parties’ decisions regarding their organization and image correlates with the effort made to keep up with public opinion. Party-Society Relations in the Republic of Cyprus adds a new dimension to the study of linkage, considering the complexity of civil society as well as exploring the dynamics of political parties. Bringing together specialists from a range of disciplines, it examines the wider effects of partitocracy on democracy and uses it as a frame for exploring the construction, maintenance or deformation of links between social groups and parties. Through its analysis of both the partisan and societal aspects of party-social relations, it illuminates larger questions concerning the strategic complexity involved when politics and society interact. Approaching the Republic of Cyprus as a representative case study of partitocratic political culture, this book is a key resource for those interested in party and civil society politics, as well as Cypriot, Mediterranean and South-East European politics.
Book Synopsis Nationalism, Referendums and Democracy by : Matt Qvortrup
Download or read book Nationalism, Referendums and Democracy written by Matt Qvortrup and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-16 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This revised and expanded edition analyses the factors conducive to holding independence and secession referendums, to winning these votes and to their status in domestic and international law. Taking into account the votes in Catalonia and Scotland, the book shows that votes on secession and independence are not a passing phenomenon but an important part of international politics. The book includes an overview of the history of referendums on independence and a summary of the legal issues involved in doing so, as well as a chapter on referendums in unrecognised states and case study chapters exploring referendums in Kosovo, Cyprus, Kurdistan and Somaliland amongst others. By considering the ethical arguments for secession and recognition, the legal norms governing the process, and the positive and political science theory of when would-be states succeed in becoming recognized by the international community, it shows the role of referendums in the process of establishing new states, and, as a corollary, their role (if any) winning international recognition for these states. This book will be of interest to all scholars and students of political science, law and even philosophy.

Book Synopsis Partition Through Foreign Aggression by : Bill Mallinson
Download or read book Partition Through Foreign Aggression written by Bill Mallinson and published by Modern Greek Studies University of Minnesota. This book was released on 2010 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Partition through Foreign Aggression: The Case of Turkey in Cyprus unashamedly argues that Cyprus, a member of the European Union, should be a cohesive social and political federation, despite attempts to slice it into two, against the grain of its natural social and historical development. This book demonstrates that the very idea of partition for an island state like Cyprus is an unacceptable aberration of common sense and decency, an illicit escape route from commonly accepted norms of international relations, and a bizarre anomaly in the EU context. The current division of the island through the brute force of NATO's second largest army highlights the illegitimacy of partition in Cyprus. It also reflects the anachronistic military goals of a country that is occupying a member of the European Union which it itself is trying to join. Furthermore, Partition through Foreign Aggression shows that no amount of quasi-academic debate, think-tankery, semantic sliding, and humbuggery can detract from the fact that Cyprus should be reunited through EU and UN law, rather than used as a whipping-boy of the self-seeking strategic obsessions of the worst side of nineteenth-century power politics"--From publisher description.
Book Synopsis The Europeanization of Cyprus by : A. Sepos
Download or read book The Europeanization of Cyprus written by A. Sepos and published by Springer. This book was released on 2008-10-08 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing from rationalist and constructivist approaches The Europeanization of Cyprus identifies mechanisms and processes of Europeanization and examines their impact on the following key dimensions of Cyprus: executive, legislative and judicial authorities; political parties and public opinion; economy; agriculture and regional policy; foreign policy; and justice and home affairs. It also assesses how the territorial and temporal dimensions of the country have mediated the impact of these mechanisms and processes, and ultimately shaped the country's Europeanization experience. The book provides a deep understanding of the relations between Cyprus and the EU, while also enhancing our theoretical understanding of the impact of Europeanization on states, whether inside or outside the EU.
Book Synopsis Constructing the Pluriverse by : Bernd Reiter

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributors to Constructing the Pluriverse critique the hegemony of the postcolonial Western tradition and its claims to universality by offering a set of “pluriversal” approaches to understanding the coexisting epistemologies and practices of the different worlds and problems we inhabit and encounter. Moving beyond critiques of colonialism, the contributors rethink the relationship between knowledge and power, offering new perspectives on development, democracy, and ideology while providing diverse methodologies for non-Western thought and practice that range from feminist approaches to scientific research to ways of knowing expressed through West African oral traditions. In combination, these wide-ranging approaches and understandings form a new analytical toolbox for those seeking creative solutions for dismantling Westernization throughout the world. Contributors.

Book Synopsis Critical Geopolitics and Regional (Re)Configurations by : Heriberto Cairo
Download or read book Critical Geopolitics and Regional (Re)Configurations written by Heriberto Cairo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-31 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to develop our understanding of the contemporary geopolitical reconfigurations of two regions of the world system with high cultural affinity and traditional close relations: Latin America and Europe. Relations between Latin America and Europe have been interpreted generally in the social sciences as synonyms of interstate relations. However, although States remain the most important actor in the geopolitical scene, they have been deeply reconfigured in recent decades, impacted by transnational dynamics, politics and spaces. This book highlights interregional relations and transnational dynamics between Latin America and Europe from a critical geopolitics perspective, promoting a new look for interregional relations which encompasses international cooperation and development, global policies, borders, inequalities and social movements. It brings attention to the relevance of interregionalism in the current geopolitical reconfiguration of the world system, but also argues for systematic inclusion of relevant new social actors and imaginaries in this traditional sphere of states. These social actors, particularly social movements and practices of contestation, are developing not only "international" bonds but a new "transnational" field, where networks defy traditional territorial orders. This volume seeks to generate a new discussion among scholars of geopolitics, international relations, social theory and social movement studies by encouraging a development of an interregional and transnational perspective of the two regions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looks at the Turkish territory of Northern Cyprus, a self-defined state, which is actually imaginary (because it is only recognized by Turkey). This title examines the sense of haunted property and objects lost and gained in the partition, along with people's relation to the fictive remapping of places and history by this new state.
Book Synopsis Small States of the European Union and Brexit by : Laura C. Ferreira-Pereira
Download or read book Small States of the European Union and Brexit written by Laura C. Ferreira-Pereira and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-28 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to offer a better understanding of the strategic responses to Brexit from ten small European Union (EU) member states: Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Portugal and Slovakia. Inspired in an intersection of different streams of research, it examines the extent and the ways Brexit has impacted these countries, analysing their coping strategies to deal with the challenges raised by such a disruptive development, as well as considering the implications of their reactions to Brexit for patterns of national foreign policy Europeanization. In so doing, this volume enhances the comprehension of smaller EU member states’ foreign and security policies, offering a systematic and comparative analysis of how political and diplomatic elites in ten countries positioned themselves domestically and within the EU vis-à-vis the Brexit process. A combination of conceptual insights, valuable empirical accounts and updated knowledge on contemporary issues from such interesting set of case studies provides room for debate on the comparability of the way(s) in which different small countries have approached their Brexit strategies. All these aspects are explored with respect to states that have been relatively neglected and underexplored in the small states literature. This edited volume will be of great value to upper-level students, academics, and researchers interested in European politics, foreign policy and international relations. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Journal of Contemporary European Studies.
