Research paper thumbnail of Constructivism and Diaspora: Turkish and Greek Cypriots in the United Kingdom

By applying a constructivist approach, this paper seeks to explain how national identity is socially constructed and/or strengthened in Cyprus with the help of the Turkish and Greek Cypriot Diasporas in the United Kingdom (UK). To this end, Turkish and Greek Cypriots in the UK were investigated through their NGOs, print media and radio stations and, primarily, through a detailed examination of the Cypriot Diaspora Project. The paper attempts to answer two main questions. Firstly, can Turkish and Greek Cypriots be defined as a single Cypriot community in the UK when they have always sought to separate themselves from each other in Cyprus? Secondly, if they are regarded as a single community, can we expect that the change of attitude within the Turkish and Greek Cypriot Diasporas may lead to a change of attitude towards unification in Cyprus under the influence of constructivist theory?

Although the EU has passed legislation specifically designed to prohibit discrimination in sport, neither the legal arrangements nor their applications in Member States serve to end any kind of discrimination in the realm of sports. Thus, this chapter will attempt to raise awareness of this crucial and unending problem.
