  • Presidential Elections 1959-2013
    Presidential Elections 1959-2013 1959 Elections The first Presidential Elections in Cyprus took place before independence on 13 December 1959. Archbishop Makarios was elected President of the Republic defeating his opponent Ioannis Clerides by a margin of two to one. The next elections were due in 1965 but were postponed as a result of the extraordinary situation created by the intercommunal strife. The term of office was extended by a law of the House of Representatives. 1968 Elections At the elections on 25 February 1968, Archbishop Makarios was elected with 96% of the votes. In 1973 President Makarios was re-elected unopposed. After his death in 1977, the then President of the House of Representatives, Spyros Kyprianou, assumed duties temporarily. On 31 August 1977, Spyros Kyprianou was declared elected unopposed, for the remainder of the presidential term. In February 1978 he was again declared elected unopposed for a new five-year term. 1983 Elections On 13 February 1983, President Kyprianou, supported by his center Democratic Party and left-wing AKEL, was re-elected to office. He was opposed by Glafcos Clerides, the leader of the right-wing Democratic Rally Party and Vassos Lyssarides of the Socialist party, EDEK. 1988 Elections In February 1988, George Vassiliou was elected to the post of President of the Republic. In the first round on 14 February 1988, none of the four candidates received the required 50% plus one vote, but in the runoff, on 21 February 1988, Vassiliou managed to secure the 51.63% of the votes cast. 1993 Elections On 14 February 1993, Glafcos Clerides, the leader of the Democratic Rally, was elected to the post of President of the Republic, defeating George Vassiliou, who again ran as an independent candidate supported by AKEL and ADISOK.

  • BRITISH COUNTERINSURGENCY in CYPRUS, ADEN, and NORTHERN IRELAND Brian Drohan a Dissertation Submitted to the Facu
    RIGHTS AT WAR: BRITISH COUNTERINSURGENCY IN CYPRUS, ADEN, AND NORTHERN IRELAND Brian Drohan A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Susan D. Pennybacker Wayne E. Lee Klaus Larres Cemil Aydin Michael C. Morgan © 2016 Brian Drohan ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Brian Drohan: Rights at War: British Counterinsurgency in Cyprus, Aden, and Northern Ireland (Under the direction of Susan D. Pennybacker) This study analyzes the role of human rights activism during three post-1945 British counterinsurgency campaigns in Cyprus (1955-1959), Aden (1963-1967), and the Northern Ireland “Troubles” (emphasizing 1969-1976). Based on material gathered from 15 archives in four countries as well as oral history records and personal papers, this study demonstrates that human rights activism shaped British operational decisions during each of these conflicts. Activists mobilized ideas of human rights to restrain counterinsurgency violence by defining certain British actions as illegal or morally unjustifiable. Although British forces often prevented activists from restraining state violence, activists forced government officials and military commanders to develop new ways of covering up human rights abuses. Focusing the analytical lens on activists and the officials with whom they interacted places rights activists on the counterinsurgency “battlefield”

  • 1 Crusader Heritages and Imperial Preservation1 Astrid Swenson I. Re
    Post-Print of Astrid Swenson, Crusader Heritages and Imperial Preservation, Past and Present, Supplement 10, 2015. Crusader Heritages and Imperial Preservation1 Astrid Swenson I. Re-entangling histories Visitors keen to see French heritage in a nutshell need not strive far from the Eiffel Tower. At the Museum of French Monuments, reopened in 2007 as part of the National City of Architecture and Heritage, one can experience the history of French architecture, sculpture and wall painting in three dimensions. A ‘point of reference for all audiences, permitting to understand the historic roots of the most contemporary aims in architectural creation and urban policies’, the museum’s own development is less visible.2 Founded in 1879 as a cast collection for the training of architects and the education of the public, the displays always consisted of models and copies. In contrast to originals, these copies could be ordered to demand, allowing the curators to create an ideal museum, easily adaptable to changing understandings of heritage. Its history is therefore a microcosm for observing broader transformations in the heritage canon. For a long time, this canon was not limited to the art of the Hexagon. The institution was in fact founded as the Museum of Comparative Sculpture, juxtaposing French Medieval to Ancient and foreign works of art. It was only in the 1930s that it was rebranded as the Museum of French Monuments. Yet despite the new title, the display was not confined to works originating in metropolitan France, but rather explicitly included material that demonstrated the spread of French influence beyond national borders.

The Danish National Archives hosted the event which focused on common challenges and different strategies for e-government, digital preservation and accessibility of cultural heritage. On 29 May – 1 June 2012, the Danish National Archives gathered the European elite of archivists and conservation experts in Copenhagen for a number of international meetings and conferences: "European Board of National Archivists (EBNA) Conference”, "Document Lifecycle Management (DLM) Conference" and "European Branch of the International Council of Archives (EURBICA) Conference", etc. The Danish National Archives hosted these events, which took place at the two addresses of the National Archives in Copenhagen and at the Royal Library.

  • Composition, Recruitment and Career Patterns of the Political Elite in Cyprus (1988-2010)
    Composition, Recruitment and Career Patterns of the Political Elite in Cyprus (1988-2010) YIANNOS KATSOURIDES Abstract The aim of the paper is to explore the composition, the recruitment mechanisms and the career patterns of those people who comprised the political elite in Cyprus over a period of 22 years, extending from 1988 to 2010. The analysis in the present paper provides a useful database on the social and political elite of Cyprus. The Cypriot political elite is small in number and its members have a particular profile and seem to follow certain paths with regard to their political recruitment and advancement. The most significant independent variable explaining membership in the political elite of Cyprus appears to be the political parties. Keywords: Cypriot political elite, Cyprus, political parties, recruitment, career patterns, cabinet, parliament Political Elites has been a controversial area of studies in political sociology. Primarily, the origins of elite theory lie in the writings of Gaetano Mosca (1939), Vilfredo Pareto (1935) and Robert Michels (1962). Whereas Mosca emphasised the elite’s material, intellectual or moral superiority, and the ways in which these small minorities outwit large majorities, Pareto suggested that in ideal circumstances the elite would consist of the most talented individuals. But, in actual societies, elites embrace those who are most proficient in employing the two modes of political rule, force and persuasion, and those who enjoy advantages, such as inherited wealth and family connections. In his study of the social democratic party of Germany, Michels, acknowledged that large organisations need a small number of leaders and experts in order to operate efficiently.
