At the forefront of its field, ""The Broken Olive Branch"" examines
the dynamics of ethnonationalism in Cyprus, a country mired in a
decades-long struggle fueled by ethnic rivalry. Harry Anastasiou's
analysis of Cyprus' historic conflict examines the logic of
nationalist thinking, assesses the rise of Greek and Turkish
nationalism, and traces the division of Greek and Turkish Cypriots
since the country won independence from British rule in 1960.In the
first of two volumes, Anastasiou offers a detailed portrait of
Cyprus' dual nationalisms, identifying the ways in which
nationalist ideologies have undermined the relations between Greek
and Turkish Cypriots. In the context of regional and global
conflicts, he demonstrates how the ethnic rivalry was largely
engineered by the leaders of each community and consolidated by the
nationalist configuration of political culture. Taking a multilevel
approach, he maps out the impasse and changes in ethnonationalism
over time.In the second volume, Anastasiou focuses on emergent
post-nationalist trends, their implications for peace, and recent
attempts to reach mutually acceptable agreements between Greek and
Turkish Cypriots. He documents the transformation of Greece,
Cyprus, and Turkey within the context of Europeanization and
globalization. While leaders of both communities have failed to
resolve the conflict, Anastasiou argues that the accession of
Cyprus into the European Union has created a structure and process
that promises a multiethnic, democratic Cyprus. With great depth
and balance, ""The Broken Olive Branch"" presents a fresh analysis
of the Cyprus conflict and new insights on the influence of
nationalism.
