The Crisis of Established Politics and the Emergence of the Nationalist Right

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter examines the first major popular conflict in Cyprus: the fight for title of Archbishop of Cyprus. As noted earlier, the Archbishop was the highest authority of both the Church and the Greek Cypriots. This conflict was also a battle between the traditionalists and the nationalists, and the catalyst for the nationalisation and ideologisation of the masses in Cyprus as well as for the emersion and establishment of nationalist politics in Cyprus. I look into the causes of the conflict, the social forces behind the two opposing camps as well as their political discourse and organisation, and the impact on citizen participation in civic elections.
