Faculty Expert Panel
2026-03-27
Faculty Expert Panel is an initiative taken by faculty members in MA in International Relations and Eastern Mediterranean Studies (Department of Politics and Governance/School of Law, University of Nicosia) and the Cyprus Review, aiming to provide concise, accessible expert framing for the public. Each faculty member/associate were asked to provide short replies to maximum three (3) out of totally seven (7) questions on the war in the Middle East, depending on their expertise.
The Cyprus Review invites submissions for a Special Section marking the centenary of the Communist Party of Cyprus in 2026. We seek original, English-language scholarship that reassesses the party’s formation and legacy within Cypriot, regional and global frames. We particularly welcome contributions that connect political history to law, institutions, social movements, political economy, and culture, and that engage comparative or transnational perspectives.
The scientific journal The Cyprus Review hereby issues a Call for Nominations for its Annual Book Awards (CRABA 2025) and invites nominations in the following fields: (I) History and Political Science, (II) Social Sciences and (III) Law. We accept nominations regarding books published during 2025, either in Greek or in English, which are Cyprological, i.e. have Cyprus as their subject matter. Nominations for republished editions or edited collective volumes are generally not acceptable. Nominations may be submitted by the authors, publishers, or third parties.
Το επιστημονικό περιοδικό The Cyprus Review προκηρύσσει, όπως κάθε έτος, τα Ετήσια Βραβεία Βιβλίου (CRABA 2026) και καλεί σε υποβολή υποψηφιοτήτων στα ακόλουθα πεδία: (Ι) Ιστορία και Πολιτικές Επιστήμες, (ΙΙ) Κοινωνικές Επιστήμες και (ΙΙΙ) Νομική. Γίνονται δεκτές υποψηφιότητες που αφορούν σε αγγλόγλωσσα ή ελληνόγλωσσα βιβλία, που εκδόθηκαν εντός του 2025 και είναι κυπρολογικά, δηλαδή έχουν ως αντικείμενο την Κύπρο. Δεν είναι κατά κανόνα αποδεκτές υποψηφιότητες που αφορούν σε επανεκδόσεις βιβλίων ή σε επιμέλεια συλλογικών τόμων. Υποψηφιότητες μπορούν να υποβληθούν από τους ίδιους τους συγγραφείς, τους εκδότες ή και από τρίτα πρόσωπα.
