Stratagem International

English version of my article —diaspora should have a seat at the table—in @politis_point and key takeaways ahead of the @cyprusdiaspora Forum this coming Friday. Evidence challenges old assumptions: • diaspora size is often overstated • preferences largely mirror homeland views • electoral institutions can manage participation The real question is not whether—but how Cypriot diasporas should be included in elections and a future peace referendum. @UN_CYPRUS @politis_point @cyprusdiaspora @NEPOMAK @tufanerhurman @Christodulides @CharisPsaltis @AndrekosVarnava @laurasud #Cyprus #Diaspora #Elections #Democracy #PeaceProcess en.politis.com.cy/politics/10023…

In South Africa (1992), a referendum enabled negotiations. In Cyprus (2004), a referendum brought peace talks to an end. You can read how the two differ—in design, leadership, and outcomes—here: cambridge.org/core/journals/… #Cyprus #AnnanPlan #Peace #SouthAfrica

Cypriot reunification is closer than we think but process design is the key. Grateful to see most thoughtful engagement with my @politis_news article debating the @CPDCCYPRUS @apofasirinis joint declaration. Pressing goal after a difficult week for all Cypriots: re-designing the architecture of incentives and commitments that can make next round of @UN_CYPRUS talks credible and effective. Many thanks to @aparaschos for the serious discussion on moving beyond declarations to distinctive strategy. offsite.com.cy/apopseis/parem… #Cyprus #CyprusProblem #PeaceProcess #ConflictResolution @FionaMullenCY @CharisPsaltis @MeltemSamani @ErolKaymak @ozdilnami @QuintinOliver
