This article is
the first comparative study on the historical development of trade unions in
Cyprus. It assesses the impact of the historical trajectory and ethnic division
on the contemporary condition of the trade unions, which substantially diverge
from each other. It compares and contrasts the framework, conditions and forms
of trade unionism across the dividing line, focusing on the current conjuncture
and accounts for them using a historical institutionalist approach. It
concludes that disparity is likely to persist although recent austerity
policies have been posing similar challenges to the trade unions on boths sides
of the divide.
Key words: trade unions, north Cyprus, Republic
of Cyprus, economic crisis, historical institutionalism, path dependence
