Insecurity And Trust In Cyprus: Rethinking The Security Dilemma Within The Context Of The Cyprus ProblemBorman, Ipek 01 October 2012 (has links) (PDF)
This thesis rethinks the security dilemma within the context of the Cyprus problem. It analyzes and problematizes the established political discourses and societal insecurities in Cyprus. It basically contends that the Cyprus problem should be reconceptualized from a critical security perspective, utilizing the fatalist, mitigator and transcender logics of insecurity. In that regard, it advances the idea that the security paradox in Cyprus should be rethought with the aim of transcending it through reconciliation and trust-building. The thesis takes attention to the scope of human agency, both at the state and human society levels, in the processes of reconciliation and trust-building, and concludes that these processes are key in transforming the two communities in the island into a post-national and pluralistic community of Cyprus.

Reunification of Cyprus? Party positions towards a solution of the Cypriot Problem : A systematic overview of the the Greek Cypriot parties’ positions towards a solution to the Cypriot Problem and how these affect a possible solutionZingis, Paris January 2022 (has links)
This study seeks to create a systematic overview of the five biggest Greek-Cypriot political parties in terms of votes. The topic which is being examined is the political positions held by these parties towards the solution of the Cypriot Problem. The Cypriot problem is a very controversial topic in Cyprus given the fact that forty percent of the island is under Turkish occupation to this day. The attitudes towards finding a solution and the attitude towards a solution has been historically a topic of polarization, whereas certain groups in Cyprus have more values of Philhellenism and others believe in Cypriocentricism. The study seeks to identify the correlation of the aforementioned values in terms of certain types of nationalism, thus creating a systematic overview with the party positions from a G/C perspective.
