  • Analysis of the Cyprus Referendum on the Annan Plan* Theodore Chadjipadelis and Ioannis Andreadis† Department of Political Sciences Aristotle University Thessaloniki
    Analysis of the Cyprus referendum on the Annan plan* Theodore Chadjipadelis and Ioannis Andreadis† Department of Political Sciences Aristotle University Thessaloniki Abstract One of the most important worldwide political issues in 2004 has emerged at 24 April 2004. Cypriots have expressed their opinion about the well-known Annan plan on the reunification of Cyprus in two simultaneous referenda. In this paper we analyse how the Greek Cypriots voted in the referendum. Firstly, we present the Cypriots' attitudes towards the Annan plan and the general political scene. For many Greek Cypriots the Annan plan had a lot of disadvantages and most of the Greek Cypriot political parties were against the plan. Some Greek Cypriot political leaders also influenced the Greek Cypriot vote by strongly opposing the plan. Our analysis shows that Greek Cypriots have not voted uniformly on the Annan Plan. Their vote is strongly depended on their political ideas and theses. For instance, more than 90% of the Cyprus President supporters voted against the Annan Plan. On the other hand, the percentage of the voters who supported other candidates for the 2003 presidential elections and were against the Annan plan is lower. Another important factor for the vote seems to be the voters’ geographical location. Spatial differences seem to be very important in Cyprus referendum. For instance, a comparison between Paphos and Famagusta Districts provides enough evidence for the importance of spatial factors. Spatial differences in the Cyprus referendum results are explored using ecological inference techniques. In less than two months time, after the referendum, Cypriots voted for their first time to elect six European Parliament members.

  • Fintech and Consumer Decision-Making in the Information Age
    FinTech and Consumer Decision-Making in the Information Age Bruce Carlin∗ Arna Olafssony Michaela Pagelz November 2020 Abstract We exploit the release of a mobile application for a financial aggregation plat- form to analyze how Financial Technology (FinTech) adoption changes consumer financial decision making. Our sample consists of individuals that had been using the platform via a desktop computer long before the mobile app was released. The app reduced the cost of accessing personal financial information, and this was re- sponsible for a significant drop in the use of expensive consumer credit and late payment fees. The leading explanation for our results appears to be mistake avoid- ance, which is supported by a significant reduction in non-sufficient funds (NSF) charges after the app was released.

  • 23. Baltic Perspectives on the European Security and Defence Policy
    23. Baltic perspectives on the European Security and Defence Policy Elzbieta Tromer I. Introduction Given the choice between the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the Euro- pean Security and Defence Policy as providers of their national security, the Baltic states—Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania—look to the USA. One reason is their perception of Russia as a source of instability. Another is their lack of con- fidence in the ability of the ESDP to deal with present-day threats. Although these three states are eager to be ‘normal’ members of the European Union and thus to join in its initiatives, their enthusiasm for the EU’s development of its own military muscle is lukewarm. An EU with some military capability but without the USA’s military strength and leadership holds little promise for them. Since the ESDP vehicle is already on the move, the Baltic states see their main function as ensuring coordination between the ESDP and NATO. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania want to be ‘Atlanticists from within the ESDP’.1 The Baltic states see themselves as exposed to challenges similar to those confronting the Nordic countries: notably the challenge of the new transatlantic dynamic, which makes it almost impossible to avoid taking sides between the US and Europe on an increasing range of global and specific issues. Being torn in this way is bound to be especially painful for Scandinavian [and Baltic] societies which have strong ties of history, culture and values with both sides of the Atlantic, and which in strategic terms are relatively dependent both on American military and European economic strength.2 The Nordic countries are seen by the Baltic states as allies in this context.

  • Carol Migdalovitz Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs Foreign Affairs, Trade, and Defense Division
    Order Code RS21855 Updated October 16, 2007 Greece Update Carol Migdalovitz Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs Foreign Affairs, Trade, and Defense Division Summary The conservative New Democracy party won reelection in September 2007. Kostas Karamanlis, its leader, remained prime minister and pledged to continue free-market economic reforms to enhance growth and create jobs. The government’s foreign policy focuses on the European Union (EU), relations with Turkey, reunifying Cyprus, resolving a dispute with Macedonia over its name, other Balkan issues, and relations with the United States. Greece has assisted with the war on terrorism, but is not a member of the coalition in Iraq. This report will be updated if developments warrant. See also CRS Report RL33497, Cyprus: Status of U.N. Negotiations and Related Issues, by Carol Migdalovitz. Government and Politics Prime Minister Kostas Karamanlis called for early parliamentary elections to be held on September 16, 2007, instead of in March 2008 as otherwise scheduled, believing that his government’s economic record would ensure easy reelection. In August, however, Greece experienced severe and widespread wildfires, resulting in 76 deaths and 270,000 hectares burned. The government attempted to deflect attention from what was widely viewed as its ineffective performance in combating the fires by blaming the catastrophe on terrorists, without proof, and by providing generous compensation for victims. This crisis came on top of a scandal over the state pension fund’s purchase of government bonds at inflated prices. Under these circumstances, Karamanlis’s New Democracy party’s (ND) ability to win of a slim majority of 152 seats in the unicameral 300-seat parliament and four more years in office was viewed as a victory.

Barcelona, noviembre de 2005 CUBA EN LA ENCRUCIJADA Igualitarismo versus liberalismo Ignasi Pérez Martínez* Noviembre de 2005 *Departamento de Derecho Constitucional y Ciencia Política. Universitat de Barcelona Este documento pretende analizar la actual situación de radicalización en el panorama político cubano como consecuencia de la consolidación de las dos posturas aparentemente más importantes en el escenario político de este país, las cuales están clara y antagónicamente enfrentadas entre sí: la liberal (conservadora y plutocrática) y la igualitarista (autoritaria y autocrática). Las eminentes contradicciones metodológicas e ideológicas de ambas, así como la nula intención de acercamiento y/o pacto entre ellas, nos inducen a pensar que un futuro político en manos de alguna de las dos, sin otra pre- sencia alguna, puede acarrear consecuencias nefastas para el futuro político y social de la isla. Este trabajo no se podría haber realizado sin el valiosísimo apoyo de Carles Ramió, quien a pesar de mi juventud confió en mis capacidades; a la dedi- cación (tan ilusionante) y laborioso seguimiento de Cesáreo Rodríguez Aguilera de Prat, al apadrinamiento en sociedad del ilustre y harto recono- cido Salvador Giner, a los siempre oportunos comentarios y alientos frater- nales de Lucas Krotsch y, en especial, a la continua y perseverante instrucción del vehemente, cabal y paciente intelectual, maestro y amigo Rafael Martínez (ni decir se tiene).
