title = "The New Social Terrain of (Nationalist) Party Politics",
abstract = "This chapter examines the Cyprus political scene during the transition from Ottoman occupation to British administration. This transition facilitated and accelerated a new social order—the rise of the bourgeoisie and the working class, and the emergence of a new socio-political elite that soon claimed its stake in political life. These societal changes were favourable for the development of party politics on the island, while at the same they entailed numerous shortcomings that served to distort party politics. These related primarily to the usurious practices and clientelistic relations that were put into place in the political system which have been entrenched in Cypriot party politics ever since.",
