BOOKS

Cyprus and the European Union

The prospective accession of Cyprus to the European Union is one of the most complicated cases ever tackled

by the Union in the course of its enlargement. A major reason is that the accession process has de facto

been linked with the Cyprus problem and its multiple dimensions such as the issue of security in the Eastern

Mediterranean, and to some extent with Turkey's relations with the EU.

All these aspects are considered in this volume which is divided into three sections:    The articles in the first

section provide the general context and deal mainly with how the EU is affected by the challenges of further

integration and enlargement; the second section examines several aspects of the EU-Cyprus relationship in view

of Cyprus' accession to the Union; the third and final section deals with EU security and foreign policy issues in

relation to Cyprus.

Security and Cooperation in the Eastern Mediterranean

"The Conference on Security and Cooperation in the Eastern Mediterranean that was organized by the

Research and Development Center - Intercollege in Nicosia, January 15-17 1996, was a unique event in a

unique place. It was held in the divided capital of the last divided country of Europe and brought together

scholars from Greece, the Balkans, Western Europe and the United States, who discussed a wide array of

topics relating to security and cooperation in the region. The high level of discourse is shown in the papers

published in this volume. This was a remarkable learning and sharing experience for the participants, as I am

sure it will be for the readers of this book."

The Political Economy of a Federal Cyprus

This book " ... presents a comprehensive analysis of the various aspects of the political economy of a Federal

Cyprus. The significance of this book lies not only in that it will contribute to the understanding of the problems

and the prospects of a federal structure in Cyprus; it also constitutes a very clear and useful road-map towards

federation, the accepted basis of a solution to the Cyprus problem. Andreas Theophanous deals with the

economic aspects and consequences of two models of federation: "loose" and "strong" federation... The author

also underlines the great importance of the role that the European union can play ... and ... adopts the view that,

given a federal solution, developments will follow an evolutionary course ... Likewise, he thinks that due to

the complexity of the Cyprus problem it may be very difficult, if not impossible, to arrive at an overall solution

without going through intermediate stages ... This book is an important contribution towards the understanding

of the economic side of a federal solution in Cyprus and deserves to be read and utilized."
