Scholarly work about the politics and foreign policy of the Republic of Cyprus (RoC) has been almost entirely analyzed through the prism of the Cyprus Problem. This is not without justification since the Cyprus Problem is indeed central to the social, political, and economic life of Cyprus. However, Cyprus is located in a highly neuralgic area of historical and geopolitical importance that is, more often than not, characterized by rapid developments, instability, and insecurity. Therefore, the RoC’s politics and foreign policy go well beyond the confines of the Cyprus Problem, or so they should. Although the subject of the book is not international by definition, the book touches upon many regional and international dimensions that render it relevant for anyone who wants to better understand not just Cyprus but also the broader region and its importance for regional and international actors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART I: Introduction, Historical Background and Foreign Policy   \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 1: \u003c\/b\u003eIntroduction – Theme, Concepts and Overview of the Book – \u003cb\u003eZenonas Tziarras (PRIO Cyprus Centre)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 2: \u003c\/b\u003eThe Republic of Cyprus and its Foreign Policy: a Historical Overview – \u003cb\u003eAndreas\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eKaryos (University of Cyprus)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 3: \u003c\/b\u003eWhat Drives RoC’s Foreign Policy: Addressing the Perennial “Agent versus Structure” Question – \u003cb\u003eAnna Koukkides-Prokopiou (Centre of European and International Affairs, University of Nicosia)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART II: Between East and West – The International Orientation\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 4: \u003c\/b\u003eStuck in the Middle: Constructing Maturity and Restoring Balance in Cypriot-EU Relations – \u003cb\u003ePetros Petrikkos (University of Nicosia)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 5: \u003c\/b\u003eThe Republic of Cyprus and the USA: a Revamped Relationship with Key Limitations – \u003cb\u003eAlexandros Zachariades (London School of Economics)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 6: \u003c\/b\u003eRussia in RoC’s Foreign Policy: Rhetorical Hyperbole, Hesitation in Action –\u003cb\u003e Costas Melakopides (University of Cyprus)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART III: A Newly-Discovered Identity in the East Med and MENA?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 7: \u003c\/b\u003eImagining a Greek Cypriot self through the Eastern Mediterranean dimension of Turkish foreign policy – \u003cb\u003eEmine Eminel Sülün (Near East University)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 8: \u003c\/b\u003eTowards a Foreign Policy Actor?
