Jurisdictional self-reliance for small island territories: considering the partition of cyprus

Jurisdiction relates to the competence to pass laws, build effective administrative processes, facilitate inward capital flows, encourage education, & support the development of a climate conducive to economic growth. This paper argues that jurisdictional capacity provides the foundation for an economic development trajectory successfully deployed in various small, resource-poor, often island, territories. The components of such jurisdictional capacity - in terms of administrative autonomy, island identity, legal powers, & the potential for rapid policy deployment - will be referred to for a critical examination of "the Cyprus Question." The analysis suggests the partition of Cyprus into two separate sovereign states as solution. 31 References. Adapted from the source document.
