Dr. Isabelle Ioannides, Senior Research Fellow at the South-East Europe Programme, wrote the article titled “Cyprus in the EU: From Integration to Present-Day Challenges and Opportunities” which was published on the magazine In Focus: The Eastern Mediterranean – 2nd Issue of the Antall József Knowledge Centre.
This article aims to shed light on the centrality that the EU has played in Nicosia’s foreign policy, bolstering it to become more independent of the difficulties faced following the financial crisis and leading to a diversification of Nicosia’s partners. It also analyses the complexities of the geopolitical power games at play on the Eastern Mediterranean, following the discovery of natural gas deposits, and their impact on the continued intractability of the Cyprus problem.
