The Republic of Cyprus' social and political culture is deeply
partitocratic, with a close relationship between state apparatus
and the parties that influence the government's decisions. However,
little is known about the social and political implications of the
above traits, and even less about how parties influence and are
influenced by society at large. The concept of linkage, which
refers to the linking of citizens with government and the political
process, is vital in the study of the electoral or ideological
considerations of parties. Parties' decisions regarding their
organization and image correlates with the effort made to keep up
with public opinion. Party-Society Relations in the Republic of
Cyprus adds a new dimension to the study of linkage, considering
the complexity of civil society as well as exploring the dynamics
of political parties. Bringing together specialists from a range of
disciplines, it examines the wider effects of partitocracy on
democracy and uses it as a frame for exploring the construction,
maintenance or deformation of links between social groups and
parties. Through its analysis of both the partisan and societal
aspects of party-social relations, it illuminates larger questions
concerning the strategic complexity involved when politics and
society interact. Approaching the Republic of Cyprus as a
representative case study of partitocratic political culture, this
book is a key resource for those interested in party and civil
society politics, as well as Cypriot, Mediterranean and South-East
European politics.
