Funding was provided by the Research Promotion Foundation of Cyprus (National Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development 2008–11, DIDAKTOR Programme), the University of Nicosia, the School of History and the Centre for the Study of the History of Political Thought and Intellectual History, Queen Mary University of London. We are particularly grateful to the President of the University of Nicosia Nicos Peristianis for embracing this project, and for contributing to its funding and organisation. Without his warm encouragement much of this would have been impossible. Special thanks should go also to John Mavris (University of Nicosia) and Kyriakos Georgiou (Cyprus Centre for European and International Affairs, University of Nicosia) and the Association for Historical Dialogue and Research of Cyprus, who helped organise the Nicosia meetings. Jeremy Jennings, then director of the Centre for the Study of the History of Political Thought, Queen Mary University of London and the I stituto Italiano di Cultura assisted with the organisation of the meeting in London. We are greatly indebted to all participants at these gatherings, and wish to express our gratitude to them for sharing their research with us and contributing to the debate, even though their papers regrettably could not be included in the volume: Gregorio Alonso, Olga Augustinos, Catherina Bregianni, Antonio D’Alessandri, Ada Dialla, Daniele Fiorentino, Mathieu Grenet, Paschalis M. Kitromilides, Ilham Khuri-Makdisi, Dessislava Lilova, Nicos Peristianis, Vivi Perraky, Panayiotis Persianis, Irene Pophaides, Jordi Roca Vernet, Anthony Santilli, Vaso Seirinidou, Michael Sotiropoulos and Nassia Yakovaki. We are also thankful to Michalis Attalides, Antonis Hadjikyriacou, Niyazi Kizilyürek, Daphne Lappa and Emilios Solomou, who chaired sessions at these meetings. Antonis Liakos, Axel Körner, Georgios Varouxakis, Joanna Innes and Mark Philp at various stages kindly agreed to act as discussants. Joanna Innes, Mark Philp, Ilham Khuri-Makdisi and Sakis Gekas read the introduction and parts of the volume and offered precious advice. Finally, Thomas Gallant enthusiastically supported the project and accepted our invitation to write an afterword to this collection. ix
