“…No protocol has been signed since 2007, however, and in some years no meeting is convened by the Ministry of Finance. This can be attributed to the austerity policies implemented since 2010 (for more on this, see Sözen and Sonan 2019).…”

Trade unions have repeatedly been challenged by neoliberal programmes implemented within Member States of the European Union (EU) and at the European level. The twenty-seven country chapters at the core of this book chart the features of the neoliberal challenge in the EU Member States and the measures implemented by unions in their attempts to adapt to changed circumstances since 2000. It is clear that union activity, either independently or in conjunction with allies, will be at the centre of revitalization campaigns if the pieces left from the neoliberal challenges are to be picked up and wielded into a coherent response. This book offers a comprehensive comparative overview of the development, structure, and policies of national trade union movements in the EU. It presents an in-depth analysis of the challenges facing these organizations and their strategic and policy responses from 2000 to 2020.

“…With a leftist leader whose party had defended the idea of reunification for many years in the negotiation table, Ankara expressing desire for the solution of Cyprus problem, and EU assisting Turkish Cypriots financially, Turkish Cypriots became hopeful again.

It was during this time that UBP came to power again in 2009, and a year later, Eroglu was elected as the President in 2010.…”

“…At first, AKP seemed to support Cyprus negotiations and the Annan Plan which probably contributed to Denktaş losing his popularity and Presidency in 2005. After the failing of the Annan Plan, however, AKP in consultation with the CTP-led coalition government had a change of policy and made financial support conditional on signing of financial protocols (Sözen & Sonan, 2019). This meant allocating aid not directly into central government's budget, but based on a viable project by the government, municipalities, or the private sector.…”

“…This meant allocating aid not directly into central government's budget, but based on a viable project by the government, municipalities, or the private sector. They have also successfully "convinced" TC governments to have some legislative changes such as lowering the entry salaries of civil servants, increasing the retirement age, and making changes in the social security system (Sözen & Sonan, 2019). These changes, which had been on government programs for many years but never implemented and probably economically sound, have sparked protest by labor unions and leftist parties.…”
