Overview

The European integration of Cyprus is the outcome of a process commenced over thirty years ago within the context of the EC external trade relations, culminating in Cyprus’ accession to the EU in 2004 and still ongoing within the framework of the EU external relations. The key issue concerns the achievement of ‘full’ integration arguably through a mode of European integration re-formulating traditional parameters of economic, societal and political integration. Beyond the obvious academic interest arising out of a comprehensive comparative socio-legal study of the process of European integration of a state lying at the EU periphery and, as such, largely ignored in the literature, this book re-directs principles of differentiated European integration towards new means and meanings.

Reviews

“The timely and valuable contribution of Laulhé Shaelou is the first comprehensive study of this special case of “variable geometry” within the Union membership of Cyprus. Following a socio-legal approach, (the author) argues that “the integration of Cyprus into the EU provides a particular mode of 106 European Law Review Europeanisation and of governance of a small State in its quest towards full integration into the EU” […] The reader of this book will not only have the chance to follow an argument that is clearly written, structured in a logical way and properly referenced but also familiarise herself/himself with the range of principles and strategies that the Union has used in order to integrate a divided island within its political and legal order.” (Nikos Skoutaris, Maastricht University, European Law Review, February © 2012 Thomson Reuters)
