Partition through foreign aggression
William Mallinson
"Partition through Foreign Aggression: The Case of Turkey in Cyprus unashamedly argues that Cyprus, a member of the European Union, should be a cohesive social and political federation, despite attempts to slice it into two, against the grain of its natural social and historical development. This book demonstrates that the very idea of partition for an island state like Cyprus is an unacceptable aberration of common sense and decency, an illicit escape route from commonly accepted norms of international relations, and a bizarre anomaly in the EU context. The current division of the island through the brute force of NATO's second largest army highlights the illegitimacy of partition in Cyprus. It also reflects the anachronistic military goals of a country that is occupying a member of the European Union which it itself is trying to join. Furthermore, Partition through Foreign Aggression shows that no amount of quasi-academic debate, think-tankery, semantic sliding, and humbuggery can detract from the fact that Cyprus should be reunited through EU and UN law, rather than used as a whipping-boy of the self-seeking strategic obsessions of the worst side of nineteenth-century power politics."--Publisher's description.
Southern Africa
Colin Legum
"This study consists of two chapters which appear in the current volume of the Africa Contemporary Record (1974-5). The first is an essay which attempts to recontruct the history of the secret diplomacy that produced the historic Lusaka Declaration of December 1974. ... The second part consists of an analysis of economic, political and social developments in the Republic of South Africa during the period covered by the previous essay."
India and Pakistan
Ian Talbot
"India and Pakistan provides an historical understanding of the chequered process of nation-building in the subcontinent. In particular, Talbot examines the role of 'parochial' loyalties and the impact of contemporary processes of economic and cultural globalization on national and local allegiances. And, in introducing the increasingly important function of overseas South Asian communities in the political mobilization of the homeland, the reader is shown the complexities of South Asian society and the effects of its relationship with the state on the process of nation-building in India and Pakistan."--Jacket.
