Summary/Abstract |
Convoluted and controversial developments preceded the accession of the Republic of Cyprus to the European Union on 1 May 2004. They demonstrated anew that important foreign power centers were bent on deciding, on self-serving grounds, the very nature of Cyprus's postoccupation regime. Their main instrument was the Annan Plan, named after United Nations secretary-general Kofi Annan, coupled with skillful propaganda and asphyxiating political, economic, and diplomatic pressures. While the plan's rejection by the Greek Cypriots on 24 April 2004 was their inalienable right, its exercise was followed by the orchestrated undermining of President Tassos Papadopoulos and further unconscionable pressures, tantamount to the "punishment" of the Republic of Cyprus.

Summary/Abstract |
Having previously applied the concept of pragmatic idealism to the "like-minded middle powers" during the Cold War, the author now aims to extend its application to great powers and even superpowers. This essay challenges the stereotypical realist conception of Russia's Cyprus policy, demonstrating that, besides its pragmatic features, it reveals idealistic motives, especially since 1991. These motives issue from a rich nexus of historical, religious, and cultural bonds, resulting in support for essentially idealist legal norms and ethical values that defend the rights of the Republic of Cyprus. Moreover, since President Barack Obama's worldview is widely, and properly, perceived to exhibit pragmatic idealism, it should follow that Washington's own Cyprus policy should be refashioned along such principled lines.
