| Summary/Abstract |
Now the island lies in ruins, it is partially occupied, untold refugees have been created, and the American Ambassador has been killed."1 Thus wrote the late Greek American James Pyrros, political aide to Congressman Lucien Nedzi, in his diary as tensions on the island of Cyprus between Greece and Turkey reached their zenith on 19 August 1974. Since then, a political impasse has existed. Is Cyprus on the cusp of a significant political change in the situation that has existed more or less since the summer of 1974, when the island experienced a Greek-inspired coup followed by two Turkish military offensives that
have left it divided?

| Summary/Abstract |
Throughout its history, Cyprus has proven to be something of a political enigma. It had been inhabited by Greeks since the second millennium BC. They sometimes called it Aphrodite's island, because according to Greek mythology, the goddess was born near the city of Paphos, having risen from the sea foam of the Mediterranean.
Due to its strategic location, the island was occupied by several major powers over the centuries: by the Romans, later by the Byzantines (becoming part of the Byzantine Empire), by Arabs, the Crusaders, the Venetians, and in 1570 by the Ottomans. In 1878 the Ottomans leased the island to the British, in 1914 the British Empire formally annexed Cyprus, and in 1925 Cyprus was declared a British crown colony. It remained under the British rule until 1960, when, after a difficult struggle, Cyprus attained its independence.

| Summary/Abstract |
The first three months of 2013 represented an unusually significant period of political, economic, and social change around the Mediterranean, even by the region's standards. The world anxiously watched the ongoing civil war that has continued to tear apart Syria and divide the international community, and it was then surprised by the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI-the first pope to resign since Pope Gregory XII in 1415. Meanwhile, Cyprus was forced to accept a European Union bailout, which damaged its reputation as an offshore banking and financial tax haven for wealthy, mostly Russian, businessmen. These three key events-and certainly all of the essays presented in this issue of the Mediterranean Quarterly -demonstrate how interconnected the world is, especially with respect to issues that evolved from the Mediterranean region.
