“The timely and valuable contribution of Laulhé Shaelou is the first comprehensive study of this special case of “variable geometry” within the Union membership of Cyprus. Following a socio-legal approach, (the author) argues that “the integration of Cyprus into the EU provides a particular mode of 106 European Law Review Europeanisation and of governance of a small State in its quest towards full integration into the EU” […] The reader of this book will not only have the chance to follow an argument that is clearly written, structured in a logical way and properly referenced but also familiarise herself/himself with the range of principles and strategies that the Union has used in order to integrate a divided island within its political and legal order.” (Nikos Skoutaris, Maastricht University, European Law Review, February © 2012 Thomson Reuters)
