TY - GEN AB - This book examines the foreign policy of the Republic of Cyprus, particularly since 2004the year of its accession to the European Union and of the failed Annan Plan V of the United Nations which aimed to solve the decades-old Cyprus Problem. Scholarly work about the politics and foreign policy of the Republic of Cyprus (RoC) has been almost entirely analyzed through the prism of the Cyprus Problem. This is not without justification since the Cyprus Problem is indeed central to the social, political, and economic life of Cyprus. However, Cyprus is located in a highly neuralgic area of historical and geopolitical importance that is, more often than not, characterized by rapid developments, instability, and insecurity. Therefore, the RoCs politics and foreign policy go well beyond the confines of the Cyprus Problem, or so they should. Although the subject of the book is not international by definition, the book touches upon many regional and international dimensions that render it relevant for anyone who wants to better understand not just Cyprus but also the broader region and its importance for regional and international actors. Zenonas Tziarras is Researcher at PRIO Cyprus Centre focusing on Eastern Mediterranean geopolitics. He holds a Ph.D. in politics and international studies from the University of Warwick, UK, and has taught at the University of Cyprus, UCLan Cyprus, the University of Warwick, and Cyprus Police Academy. He completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Cyprus and participates in the editorial board of New Middle Eastern Studies. Among other publications, he authored Turkish Foreign Policy: The Lausanne Syndrome in the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East. .
