New book on euro accession

A new book entitled “Accession to the Eurozone and the Reunification of the Cyprus Economy”, edited by Andreas Theophanous and Yiannis Tirkides, has been published by the Research Center – Intercollege in collaboration with Intercollege Press.

The book seeks to examine the process of Cyprus’ accession to the Eurozone and the prospect of the reunification of its economy.  The book analyzes in depth the Cyprus economy (both in the area under the control of the government and the occupied northern part) and addresses the challenge of accession to the EMU as well as its economic and political implications.  The prerequisites of accession to the Eurozone are also examined as well as the experiences of other eurozone member states including Greece.  Particular attention is paid to German reunification as a unique model of economic integration of two regions with marked differences and vast disparities between them.  Whilst the cases of Germany and Cyprus are not the same important conclusions are drawn and specific recommendations are made.

The research work “Accession to the Eurozone and the Reunification of the Cyprus Economy” has been undertaken within the framework of the research programs funded by the Research Promotions Foundation (RPF).  For more information contact the Research Center – Intercollege at 22–841600, e-mail [email protected].
