Cyprus’ ‘garrison state’ has become a governance crisis (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Decades of emergency governance, patronage and institutional barriers have weakened civic participation and left Cyprus facing a deepening crisis of political legitimacy. The collapse of civic participation and institutional authority in Cyprus is neither routine voter apathy nor simple elite graft. It marks the terminal exhaustion of an emergency governance model forged under existential duress. Following the 1974 Turkish invasion, the Republic adopted the posture of a garrison state – living u
Great Sea Interconnector ties Cyprus to regional volatility (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The geopolitical contest for strategic primacy across the Levantine Basin has now converged upon the seabed, centred on the execution of the Great Sea Interconnector.

From Pax Americana to regional self-reliance and the rise of the Mecca Pact (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Driven by escalating sovereign debt, domestic fiscal constraints, and a strategic pivot toward peer competition in East Asia, the United States has transitioned to an offshore balancing posture across the Middle East. This structural retrenchment – accelerated by the collapse of negotiated diplomatic frameworks and the physical destruction inflicted across the Gulf during the Iran war – has systematically eroded local confidence in Western security guarantees. Consequently, the traditional post-
