Despite striking historical similarities among their peoples, Israel, Cyprus and Greece experienced mostly unfriendly relations for almost 60 years. This situation was radically altered during the past decade with the emergence of ever-widening cooperation among the three states.
This lecture by Dr. Aristotle Tziampiris, University of Piraeus (Greece) Professor of International Relations, will discuss how and why Greece, Cyprus, and Israel decided to get so close, what issues and areas have been part of the improved relations and delineate the future prospects for what amounts to a positive development contributing to stability in the Eastern Mediterranean.
Dr. Aristotle Tziampiris is Professor of International Relations, Chair of the Department of International and European Studies and Director of the MSc Program in Energy: Strategy, Law & Economics at the University of Piraeus. He is also Standing Fellow at New York University’s Remarque Institute, member of the Executive Academic Board of the European Security and Defense College (ESDC), Academic Advisor to the Hellenic American Leadership Council (HALC), Founding member of the Israeli-Hellenic Forum, Academic Coordinator for the Erasmus+ “Eastern Mediterranean Regional Training Partnership” Program and Examiner for the course International Relations and Politics for the entrance examinations of the Hellenic Diplomatic Academy.
