The Archbishops of Cyprus in the Modern Age
Since the onset of Ottoman rule, but more especially from the mid-18th Century, the archbishops of the autocephalous Cypriot Orthodox Church have wielded a great deal of political power. Most people of a certain age will remember the bearded monk who became a Greek nationalist politician and the first President of the Republic of Cyprus in 1960, Archbishop Makarios III. Indeed his presence at Madame Tussauds is a reminder of his stature. But were all Cypriot archbishops such political and po.

Native, Cosmopolitan, or Cypriot? Identity Development and Sense of Belonging Among International School Students in Cyprus
Cyprus is a culturally diverse island where people of different nationalities, ethnicities, religions, and social status have learned to live together. This phenomenon can be observed in Cyprus'international schools, where the superdiversity of the Cypriot society comes together and overlaps; and where students enter a 'third space' created at the interstices cf society, that is non-native and non-host. In this paper, we explore these students'sense of belonging to both their host (Cyprus) and heritage cultures, and the role played by international schools in the development cfthe two. The sense of belonging, as well as its challenges which go hand in hand, are important aspects cf social integration and provide insights into how individuals relate to their environment and whether they feel socially connected or disconnected from it. This is especially important in the context of Cyprus because of the increasing number of long-term migrants who consider Cyprus their 'home', and who create their own cultural and social space on the island.

Broad-ranged, highly disjunct, locally rare and severely endangered: the challenging risk assessment and a global conservation strategy for Erica sicula Guss. sensu lato (Ericaceae)
The distribution range of Erica sicula Guss. sensu lato spans the central and eastern Mediterranean Basin, but shows a significantly fragmented pattern, and its populations are locally subject to multiple threats inducing continuous regression. The species is distributed across five countries, Italy, Libya, Cyprus, Türkiye and Lebanon, and includes two subspecies, subsp. sicula and subsp. bocquetii, currently represented by 31 and 8 stands, respectively. This study provides an updated overview of the distribution, ecology, and conservation status of both subspecies. New distribution data and ecological information were gathered through fieldwork, literature, and herbarium specimens. In Sicily (Italy), unmanned aerial systems and high-resolution digital elevation models were employed to perform a detailed census of the last extant stand, mapping its distribution and calculating its 3D occupation surface. Based on our analyses, Erica sicula is evaluated as Least Concern (LC) at the global level, even though each subspecies and subpopulation are nationally endangered. In fact, 19 locations of E. sicula subsp. sicula were not confirmed recently, and this subspecies should be considered as Critically Endangered (CR) in Italy and Vulnerable (VU) in Lebanon, Cyprus and Türkiye. In Libya, E. sicula subsp. sicula is VU due to severe habitat degradation. E. sicula subsp. bocquetii, formerly known from a few locations in the mountains of SW Anatolia, Türkiye, has been found at lower altitudes in several new locations and is also assessed as VU. Further fieldwork is recommended to better assess the demographic trends of the different subpopulations. Genetic analyses are needed to clarify the taxonomic value of infraspecific taxa previously described and to guide future conservation efforts of the most unique and genetically rich stands, both in-situ and ex-situ. Improving the conservation strategies for taxa like Erica sicula s. l. requires the collaboration of specialists from all involved countries, making it crucial to maintain networks of experts in the Mediterranean.

Children's Rights during Colonialism: The Case Study of the Crown Colony of Cyprus
The Commonwealth countries retain an unceasing connection to the United Kingdom. Ranging from the values of the Victorian England on human rights, to the oversea territories, the puritanical colonial power stigmatised in an emphatic way the lives of millions. The Republic of Cyprus constitutes a case on point of such influence. That said, this paper unearths a long-standing culture of disrespect for basic human rights generally and the rights of the child in particular amid the normalization of deviant behaviour towards children since 1878. The paper intends on investigating the legal and socio-legal position of children during the British colonialism in the Island of Cyprus. In analysing the factual and legal status of the cases in question, a brief historical overview is of the essence. Thus, the current paper is legally-based yet, rather interdisciplinary as history and diplomacy flirts' with the law. The originality of the paper focuses on the conspicuous gap in the academic literature relating to children's rights in the Island of Cyprus.
