The Normalisation of Cyprus' Partition Among Greek Cypriots: Political Economy and Political Culture in a Divided Society

This book explores the basic dynamics that shaped the Cyprus problem, with a focus on recent decades. The author deals with the periods, nodal points and fields that produced the conditions for the normalisation of partition and also presents the Cyprus problem as viewed from the outside. The chapters approach Cyprus’ division in light of power relations in society, the interaction between the political elite and society, and discuss the political and ideological dynamics as manifested in the public sphere. While analysing primarily the Greek Cypriot community, the book also refers to parallel developments in the Turkish Cypriot and international communities, arguing that the normalisation of Cyprus’ partition is rooted in the political economy and political culture of Greek Cypriots. At the same time, from the perspective of the peace and reunification movement, this is an inherently contradictory and potentially unstable process that can be overturned.

Εξαίρετο εγχείρημα που πρέπει να διαβαστεί και να συζητηθεί. Ο Ιωάννου καταφέρνει μέσα από το δοκίμιό του αυτό να καταρρίψει πάμπολλους, βαθιά ριζωμένους μύθους για το Κυπριακό και την στάση των Ελληνοκυπρίων που διακατέχεται από ένα μαξιμαλιστικό εθνοκεντρισμό ο οποίος υπονομεύει το μέλλον της χώρας.

Ένα βιβλίο που όλοι πρέπει να διαβάσουν πριν μιλήσουν ή σκεφτούν ξανά γύρω από το Κυπριακό ζήτημα.
