About the Book

Seit 125 Jahren spielt Grossbritannien in der Geschichte, Gesellschaft und Kultur Zyperns eine bedeutende Rolle. Zwischen 1878 und 1960 war Zypern eine britische Kolonie und wahrend dieser Zeit entstanden die zahlreiche Charakteristika der modernen zypriotischen Gesellschaft.Von 1955 bis 1959 kampfte die griechisch-zypriotische Untergrundarmee EOKA fur ein Ende der Kolonialherrschaft und die Vereinigung der Insel mit Griechenland. Der Konflikt, der auch zu burgerkriegsahnlichen Auseinandersetzungen mit der turkisch-zypriotischen Volksgruppe und fast zum Krieg zwischen Griechenland und der Turkei fuhrte, endete mit einem Kompromiss, den keiner gewollt hatte: der unabhangigen Republik Zypern. Bis heute wird Grossbritannien beschuldigt, die Hauptverantwortung fur die Entstehung dieses Konfliktes und seine Eskalation in den 50er Jahren zu tragen.Auch nach der Unabhangigkeit spielten die Briten in der Geschichte der Insel eine besondere und ausserst umstrittene Rolle. Als Garantiemacht teilten sie sich zusammen mit Griechenland und der Turkei die Verantwortung fur die Bewahrung der verfassungsmassigen Ordnung und territorialen Integritat der Insel Zudem behielten die Briten zwei souverane Militarbasen, die sie bis heute als koloniale Relikte nutzen.1963 brach die verfassungsmassige Ordnung der Republik zusammen, es kam erneut zum Burgerkrieg. Der Konflikt zwischen beiden Volksgruppen und ihren "Mutterlandern" Griechenland und Turkei kulminierte 1974 in einem Coup d'Etat der Militarjunta in Athen gegen den griechisch-zypriotischen Prasidenten Makarios, den die Turkei mit einer Invasion der Insel beantwortete, der zu der bis heute andauernden Teilung der Insel fuhrte. Grossbritannien wird beschuldigt, als Garantiemacht seit 1963 versagt zu haben. Lassen sich diese Anschuldigungen halten?Das vorliegende Buch enthalt die bislang umfassendste Darstellung der britisch-zypriotischen Beziehungen zwischen 1878 und dem heutigen Tage. Mehr als 40 Arbeiten von anerkannten Zypernexperten beleuchten die Rolle, die Grossbritannien bei der Entstehung und im Verlauf des Zypernkonfliktes bis heute spielte.Die historisch-politische Analyse wird durch eine Reihe von weiteren Arbeiten erganzt, die sich mit soziologischen, anthropologischen, wirtschaftlichen und kulturellen Aspekten der britisch-zypriotischen Beziehungen beschaftigen.Das Publikation beinhaltet eine Fulle bislang unveroffentlichter Forschungsergebnisse und ist ein Muss fur jeden, der sich fur britisch-zypriotischen Beziehungen, die moderne zypriotische Geschichte sowie fur Kolonialismus und seine Auswirkungen interessiert.Britain played an important role in Cypriot history, society and culture during the last 125 years. Cyprus was a British colony from 1878 to 1960 and during this period many of the features of modern Cypriot society were shaped.Between 1955 and 1959 EOKA, a Greek-Cypriot underground organisation, fought an armed struggle for union of the island with Greece. This conflict resulted also in civil strife between the Greek-Cypriot and Turkish-Cypriot communities and led to the involvement of Greece and Turkey which came to the brink of war over the island. In the end a compromise was found nobody had wished for: independence. Until today Britain is accused of carrying the main responsibility for the emergence and escalation of the Cyprus conflict through a consistent policy of divide and rule.Britain also played an important role in the history of the island after independence. The UK shared together with Greece and Turkey the responsibility for the preservation of the constitutional order and the territorial integrity of the island. Moreover, Britain retained two sovereign military bases as colonial relics.In 1963 the constitutional order of the Republic broke down resulting in renewed armed conflict between the two communities. The unresolved conflict between the Greek and Turkish Cypriots as well as their "mother countries" culminated in a Greek coup d'etat against the Greek Cypriot president Makarios and an ensuing Turkish invasion in 1974, which led to the current division of the island. Britain is accused of having failed to live up to its responsibilities as a Guarantor power. Are all these accusations justified?This book contains the most comprehensive analysis of the relations between Great Britain and Cyprus from 1878 to the present day. More than 40 eminent scholars assess the British role in the emergence and the historical course of the Cyprus problem as well as the British-Cypriot relations after independence.The historical-political analysis is enriched by a number of articles dealing with sociological, anthropological, economic and cultural aspects of British-Cypriot relations.This book is an essential source for anybody interested in British-Cypriot relations, modern Cypriot history as well as Colonialism and Post-Colonialism.ContentsIntroduction: Hubert Faustmann and Nicos Peristianis 7Heinz A Richter The Grand Game, the Balkans, the Congress of Berlin and Cyprus 11Diana Markides Cyprus 1878-1925: Ambiguities and Uncertainties 19Andrekos Varnava "Cyprus is of no use to anybody" The Pawn, 1878-1915 35Mike Hajimichael Revisiting Thomson - The Colonial Eye and Cyprus 61Rebecca Bryant Signatures and 'Simple Ones': Constituting a Public in Cyprus, circa 1900 79Marios Constantinou Rethinking Max Weber's Sociology of Domination in Colonial Context: A Micro-Macro Framework for a Theory of Authority Relevant to the Case of Cyprus 99Heinz A Richter Benevolent Autocracy 1931-1945 133Martin Strohmeier "I'd rather have it in Cyprus than nowhere" A Plan for a British University in the Near East (1935-1940) 151Jan Asmussen "Dark-skinned Cypriots will not be accepted!"
