Download or read book Who Shall Govern Cyprus Brussells Or Niicosia written by A. C. Chrysafi and published by . This book was released on 2000-11 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of the role of the European Union is guaranteed to lead to a lively debate upon the economic consequences of a single currency or the right of a central government to alter the traditions of an individual nation. However, few of us are aware of the full implications of joining a centralised, all-powerful organisation, for it extends far beyond the simple benefits of a common market.Cyprus is a country with a bleak history of domination and exploitation by marauding empires, due to its commercial location at the centre of the Mediterranean. But in recent years and despite recent events, such as the Turkish invasion and subsequent British betrayal in 1974, Cyprus has managed, with pride, to raise and maintain its economic and social standing. The next step for some would be to join the EU.A C Chrysafi is not of that opinion. Through this book he represents the EU as they really are; an undemocratic government of unaccountable politicians making broad changes to law with little regard to the effect upon the smaller countries within its control. He describes and analyses the economic and social trends of countries who have already committed themselves to control of the EU, and takes note of the success of nations, such as Norway and Switzerland, who have maintained control of their government whilst benefiting from the European trade agreement. Ultimately, the author believes that the best choice for Cyprus is a referendum, so that the people have the final decision.
Download or read book Andartes written by Andreas Chrysaphēs and published by Evandia Publishing UK Limited. This book was released on 2005 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andartes: Set in the mid 1950s, Andartes (Guerrillas) is an absorbing glimpse into the fiercely fought EOKA struggle for the independence of Cyprus from British colonial rule: the drama all the more poignant given its basis in historical fact. It is vividly written, brutal, emotional, with a most touching story. This absorbing read follows Alexi's life from an early age of utter poverty where he befriends a Turkish Cypriot compatriot and both become inseparable. They grow into young lads and enjoy life at its fullest until one day their lives had changed forever. Alexis' pride and ideals lead him on a journey that results in his paying the ultimate price. The New York based international magazine "ODYSSEY: The World of Greece" in their September / October 2008 issue has given Andartes its own review. THE BOOK REVIEW: by Elena Polyzos. There are few non-academic studies written in English about the Cypriot struggle for independence from British colonial rule in the mid -1950's. As a result, the story of this fiercely fought, bitter guerrilla war has been somewhat inaccessible, with Lawrence Durrell's Bitter Lemons of Cyprus, written over fifty years ago, being the classic account of those momentous events. Andartes is a worthy addition to the literature on the subject, a dramatic novel based on historical fact. The author convincingly examines the root of the war, the formation of EOKA the Greek Cypriot guerrilla liberation organization, (hence the title, 'Andartes', or rebels) and the internecine struggle between the Greek and Turkish Cypriots. Although told from a Greek Cypriot point of view, Chrysafis does attempt to provide an objective and balanced account of the Greek, Turkish, and British involvement in the struggle and mostly succeeds. Even so, it is the British who come off worst, a case of complacent and misguided colonial rule. The scenes of torture and executions portray the brutality of their authority and reveal the author's full contempt for their actions. These scenes are particularly poignant given that they describe events which took so soon after the World War II. Andartes is also a novel of Greek-Turkish friendship and traces the relationship between a young Greek and a Turk, and how they are shaped by the violence of those years. The author concludes that violence begets violence, and in the end, nobody remains unaffected. A satisfying emotional read with vivid and believable characters and a gripping story.
Download or read book Peacemaking Strategies in Cyprus written by Eleftherios A. Michael and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-09-04 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes a systematic and holistic approach to examining all 41 peacemaking initiatives used to settle the Cyprus question from 1955 onward under the auspices of the United Nations and/or other actors in the international system, including the United States, Canada, the UK, Greece and Turkey. The analysis of peacemaking strategies, dynamics and obstacles fleshes out numerous relationships between: (i) peacemaking processes, dynamics and outcomes, from signaling to negotiations and to post-accord completion and implementation; (ii) concessions, constraints and leverage during peacemaking negotiations and third party mediation; and (iii) obstacles to finding an endgame solution and satisfying conditions for lasting peace expectations that all parties can agree on and implement successfully. After documenting 62 interviews with top political leaders in Cyprus (including top tier elected elites and third party mediators) and about 70 more interviews with key informants (including academics, researchers, members of negotiating teams, technical committees and working groups), this book concludes with a plethora of descriptive, as well as prescriptive, propositions on how peacemaking processes could lead to more sustainable and implementable peacemaking initiatives in Cyprus and in similar protracted and seemingly intractable cases.

Download or read book Jurisdiction Over Non EU Defendants written by Tobias Lutzi and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-05-18 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at the question of extending the reach of the Brussels Ia Regulation to defendants not domiciled in an EU Member State. The Regulation, the centrepiece of the EU framework on civil procedure, is widely recognised as one of the most successful legal instruments on judicial cooperation. To provide a basis for the discussion of its possible extension, this volume takes a closer look at the national rules that currently govern the question of jurisdiction over non-EU defendants in each Member State through 17 national reports. The insights gained from them are summarised in a comparative report and critically discussed in further contributions, which look at the question both from a European and from a wider global perspective. Private international lawyers will be keen to read the findings and conclusions, which will also be of interest to practitioners and policy makers.

Book excerpt: In today's world, the issue of Cyprus is notable for all the wrong reasons: because of the duration of the divisions in Cyprus itself between Greek-Cypriots and Turkish-Cypriots (formalized since 1983 by a disputed international border across the island); because of the involvement of Greece and Turkey, for which the "hyphenated" Cypriot communities form proxy battalions; and because of the failure of the United Nations' longstanding efforts to resolve the conflict. Much of the discussion in the book revolves around the difficulty of producing viable constitutional and civic arrangements in an.
Download or read book Russia Cyprus Relations written by Costas Melakopides and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study assesses Moscow's special bilateral relations with Cyprus since the mid-1950s, with particular emphasis on the post-Cold War years. Melakopides develops the theory of 'pragmatic idealism' when describing the way in which Moscow's Cyprus policies were meant to satisfy not only mutual interests but also international legal and ethical principles and norms. The book recalls Cyprus's dramatic vicissitudes since the 1950s and revisits the controversial 'political realist' policies of Washington, Ankara and London against the interests and needs of the Greek-Cypriot majority. Melakopides then goes on to analyse the regional geopolitical context; Turkey's hegemonic ambitions and its ongoing aggressiveness against Cyprus; Nicosia's current efforts to pursue a multidimensional foreign policy that also engages Greece, Israel and Egypt; the strong Russian-Cypriot diplomatic and political relations as well as their relations in trade, banking, energy, tourism, culture, energy and defence; and the origins of Russia's historical, religious and 'spiritual' sentiments and bonds towards Hellenism and Cyprus.
