The Shifts in the Greek Cypriot Bourgeoisie and the Equilibria in the Greek Cypriot Community

Abstract

In this chapter, I will focus on the Greek Cypriot community. In tandem with the foregoing analysis, I will more comprehensively address the issue of shifts and changes which have taken place in Cyprus in recent years, particularly in the wake of the collapse of the talks in 2017. My analysis remains primarily empirical and focused on the influence of the various internal, geopolitical and economic factors in the political management of the Cyprus dispute. At the same time, this chapter poses certain theoretical questions from a historical perspective. Given that this is the last substantive chapter, my analysis here, leading up to the book’s conclusion, is more abstract and somewhat more generalised in order to capture broader dynamics and structural tendencies, as well as trying to encompass implications for the future.
