  • The Backsliding of Democracy in Today's Greece
    STUDY The Backsliding of Democracy DIMITRI A. SOTIROPOULOS DECEMBER 2018 n Democracy in Greece has survived the economic crisis, but democracy’s long- term problems have been accentuated during the crisis. Democracy has started backsliding. n The backsliding of democracy is related not only to the gravity of the recent crisis, but also to long-term, historical legacies, such as political clientelism, populism and corruption. n Political clientelism has thrived, as discriminatory access to state resources was offered to favoured individuals and particular social groups even under the crisis. n Populism has attracted the support of popular strata but has failed to deliver on its promises, contributing thus to disaffection with democracy. n Corruption has undermined transparency and accountability, negatively affecting the rule of law. n Long-term reforms are required, in order for a reversal of democracy’s backsliding to be achieved and a new political and economic crisis to be averted.

  • Politics, Policies, Challenges and Opportunities
    Master Thesis Political Science: International Relations The EU and its Neighbours: Politics, Policies, Challenges and Opportunities The EU and Conflict Resolution in Northern Ireland and Cyprus Eoin Watts 11695714 Supervisor: Dr. Dimitris Bouris Seconder Reader: Dr. Farid Boussaid Word Count: 24, 204 22nd June 2018 i Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor Dr. Dimitris Bouris for guiding, encouraging and reassuring me throughout this process. Secondly, I wish to extend my gratitude to Dr. Farid Boussaid for agreeing to be my second reader. Also I extend my warmest thanks to all my interviewees. I will always appreciate the time and effort you offered me over the last few months. Without my family and friends this would not have been possible. Your constant unwavering support is greatly appreciated. Finally, to Jeske for advising and believing in me from the beginning. ii Abstract The primary objective of this thesis is to examine the impact that that the European Union, through the integration and accession process, has on identity in conflicts. The case studies of Northern Ireland and Cyprus are utilised as they have both experienced, and still experience, this subtle form of EU conflict resolution. In order to achieve this, this thesis incorporates two theoretical positions. Diez et al.’s (2008) conflict transformation theory is used to establish the impact that the EU has had on identity in the two conflicts. It is found that in both cases, EU integration and accession has not been the catalyst for the emergence of a shared identity which transcends the traditional conflicting identities. However, this thesis does demonstrate that EU integration has been more effective at encouraging a rapprochement between Nationalists/Catholics and Unionists/Protestants in Northern Ireland, than between Greek and Turkish Cypriots, in Cyprus.

  • Loggerhead Turtle (Caretta Caretta) and Green Turtle (Chelonia Mydas) – Cyprus
    Loggerhead Turtle (Caretta caretta) and Green Turtle (Chelonia mydas) – Cyprus Photographs: Left: Brocken Inaglory (Wikimedia Commons, 2008); Right: Turtle Excluder Devices (TEDs) (Wikimedia Commons, 2011) Loggerhead Turtle Green Turtle Conservation status IUCN Global: Vulnerable IUCN Global: Endangered CY: FV CY: U2 (+) Protection status HD: Annex II HD: Annex II CMS: Appendix I CMS: Appendix I Bern Convention: Appendix II Bern Convention: Appendix II Population (2007-12) EU27: > 150,000 – 230,000 individuals EU27: > 2,120 – 3,360 individuals CY: 800 – 1,600 individuals CY: 120 - 360 individuals MS with genuine improvement CY CY Other MS ES, FR, GR, IT, MT, NL, PT, SI, UK ES, FR, GR, IT, NL, PT, UK Summary: Massive over-exploitation of turtles for turtle soup and meat, on the Levant coast, from the Gulf of Iskenderun to Palestine/Israel, from the end of the First World War to about 1970 led to a virtual collapse of the turtle populations of the region and especially of the Green Turtle population. More recently both turtle species have been under pressure again, mainly from habitat loss and disturbance as well as from fishing bycatch. After 40 years of implementing conservation measures in Cyprus, steady and recently more rapid improvements have been seen in turtle populations. Time was the key to seeing results, keeping in mind that turtles need 20-30 years to mature, and more in the case of Green Turtles. Knowledge gained through these efforts has resulted in the designation of protected areas, the identification of harmful activities, and the targeted implementation of effective conservation measures. Joint action between dedicated NGOs, the Government, local authorities, supported by volunteers, ensures the continuation of conservation efforts and the spread of public awareness.

Rather this report is intended to facilitate the drafting of guiding drafts, meaning the basic draft of the rules on which the Expert Group and subsequently the Rules Committee will work. The report was initially circulated to the Rules Committee of the Republic of Cyprus (see Appendix D) to facilitate discussion between it and the Expert Group (see Appendix E) at its meeting of the 8th May 2018. After detailed discussion of this report between the Rules Committee and the Expert Group, it was decided that it would be beneficial to make this report publicly available for the purpose of facilitating wider public consultation.

    Coronavirus pandemic in the EU – Fundamental Rights Implications Country: Cyprus Contractor’s name: University of Nicosia and Symfiliosi Date: 3 June 2020 DISCLAIMER: This document was commissioned under contract as background material for a comparative report being prepared by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) for the project “Coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak in the EU – fundamental rights implications”. The information and views contained in the document do not necessarily reflect the views or the official position of the FRA. The document is made available for transparency and information purposes only and does not constitute legal advice or legal opinion. 1 Measures taken by government/public authorities 1.1 Emergency laws/states of emergency Provide information on emergency laws/declarations of states of emergency, including actions taken by police to enforce them and court rulings concerning the legality of such measures. No state of emergency was announced at any stage. At the beginning of May, the lockdown measures started to be relaxed, as more reasons for leaving the house were added and various establishments returned into operation. Τhe third month of the COVID19 pandemic in Cyprus saw a continuation of measures that sparked debates over the legality and the delimitation of the restrictions on fundamental rights. People in Cyprus have generally complied with restrictions of their rights, as in other countries in the world which introduced restrictions in response to the pandemic. 1 However, people have developed innovative online and other symbolic forms of collective expression. The Mayday celebrations for instance, which in other years brought out many thousands in parades, were cancelled with trade unions restricting themselves to cultural events on-line.

  • 3. Youth Self-Employment and Entrepreneurship Activities  91
    I.3. YOUTH SELF-EMPLOYMENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP ACTIVITIES 91 3. Youth self-employment and entrepreneurship activities This chapter presents data on self-employment and entrepreneurship activities by youth, including self-employment rates and the proportion involved in starting a business. The chapter also presents data on the characteristics of the businesses operated by youth, including the sector, the proportion of new businesses that offer new products and services, and the proportion of new entrepreneurs who expect to create a substantial number of jobs. Data are also presented on some of the key barriers to entrepreneurship for youth such as fear of failure and a lack of entrepreneurship skills. Data are presented for European Union Member States and OECD countries along with the averages for the European Union and the OECD. THE MISSING ENTREPRENEURS 2019 © OECD/EU 2019 92 I.3. YOUTH SELF-EMPLOYMENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP ACTIVITIES Key messages Youth have a high level of interest in self-employment but only 6.5% of working youth (20-29 years old) in the European Union (EU) were self-employed in 2018. Further, the number of self-employed youth has declined over the past decade, falling from 2.7 million in 2009 to 2.5 million in 2018. The gender gap in self-employment starts early. In 2018, young women in the EU were only about 60% as likely as young men to be self-employed (4.8% vs. 8.0%). Youth are slightly more likely than adults to be involved in starting a business. In the EU, survey data indicate that 4.7% of youth (18-30 years old) were actively working on setting up a business between 2014 and 2018, compared to 4.0% overall.

  • The Shadow Economy in Cyprus: Evidence from the Electricity Consumption and Currency Demand Methods
    Cyprus Economic Policy Review, Vol. 15, No. 1, pp 46-74 (2021) 1450-4561 The Shadow Economy in Cyprus: Evidence from the Electricity Consumption and Currency Demand Methods Christoforos Andreou, Elena Andreou, Stephanie Michael and George Syrichas Economics Research Centre, University of Cyprus ________________________________________________________ Abstract The recent pandemic has brought about a renewed interest in estimating the size of the shadow economy as governments are striving to find additional revenues to support the fast declining economic activity and finance their substantial public deficits. This paper provides new estimates of the shadow economy in Cyprus using two different macro approaches; the energy consumption method (ECM) (Kaliberda and Kaufmann, 1996) and the currency demand approach (Tanzi, 1980, 1983). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first paper that applies the energy consumption approach for estimating the shadow economy focusing only on Cyprus. The empirical analysis covers a more recent period, using quarterly data for the period 1995-2018, during which the Cypriot economy has undergone significant structural changes such as financial liberalization, the abolition of capital controls, accession to the European Union, the adoption of the Euro as well as the recent banking crisis. During this period the average size of the shadow economy in Cyprus based on the currency approach is estimated around 11-18% of GDP while for the electricity consumption the respective estimates are on average between 25%-34%. Keywords: black economy, underground economy, macroeconomic approach, time-series methods 1. Introduction In the last decades, there has been a renewed interest in estimating the size of the shadow economy in many countries around the globe.
