The Confrontation About Enosis (Union) Between Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots in the Legislative Council of Cyprus (1902-1931)
This article discusses the confrontation between Greeks of Cyprus (GoC) and Turks of Cyprus (ToC) in the Legislative Council of Cyprus regarding the issue of the Enosis (Union) and the changes of content since 1902. The question arises, yet to a limited extent, during the period 1902–1914, given the formal subordination of Cyprus to the Ottoman Empire. From 1915 to 1918, due to the placement of the Ottoman Empire on the side of Britain’s opponent…

Lenin’s Theory of the Weakest Link and the Intervention by the Greek Radical Left in the Course of the Crisis
The imposition of the memoranda on Greece triggered dynamic reactions from the subordinate classes, rapid changes in the political scene and creation of the impression in the Western world that in Greece the possibility was emerging of profound radical changes, particularly after the coming to power of SYRIZA as the new Greek government. Employing the Leninist concepts of the weakest link, the imperialist chain, the revolutionary situation and th…
The Althusser-Poulantzas Discussion on the State
The aim of this article is to present and criticize Althusser’s and Poulantzas’s key positions on the State and its mechanisms. To begin with there is a discussion on the notion that the State is an aggregation of ideological and repressive apparatuses and on the position according to which the State is an instrument. This is followed by a rejection of Althusser’s and Poulantzas’s claims in the light of the thesis that the State is the material o…
The theoretical weakness of theses positing emergence of a transnational bourgeoisie and a transnational state
This article presents a critique of the thesis positing the emergence of a transnational bourgeoisie and transnational state as outlined in the work of William Robinson. Given the Marxist character of Robinson's views, the present critique shares common ground methodologically, rejecting, however, notions such as so-called globalization or exploitation of one country by another, lack of national identity of multinational corporations, formation o…
The Cosmopolitan Democracy Project
This article serves to present one of the basic ideological by-products of so-called “globalization”: the theory of Cosmopolitan Democracy (CD) outlining its basic assertions and to criticize them. Our main position is that despite its ostensibly innovatory problematic, it essentially comprises nothing more than acceptance of a “progressive” variety of capitalist domination on a global scale. The CD’ s positions do not lead to more radical manage…
On the Class Character of the European Communities/European Union
The nature of the European Communities/European Union has been extensively analyzed in mainstream studies of International Relations, but has not aroused comparable interest among Marxist theorists. Study of the historical course of the European Communities/European Union must focus on the elements that contributed to shaping it from its foundation to the present day, including its acquisition of an upgraded role in the international division of …
From Territorial to Nonterritorial Capitalist Imperialism
The concept of imperialism has returned to political and theoretical debates. But there are open theoretical questions. In opposition to treating imperialism in terms of a territorial logic, we insist on the nonterritorial character of capitalist imperialism. We go back to Lenin's theoretical contribution to a possible Marxist theory of imperialism in order to distance it from theories of empire building and territorial expansion. We attempt to c…

On the Causes and Significance of the December 2008 Social Explosion in Greece
The social explosion of December 2008 in Greece represented a postscript from the future. In a country where the consequences of the global economic crisis had already begun to make themselves felt — in conjunction with the collapse of a specific model for integration into the global division of labor — it had become evident that the younger generations were destined to experience a much worse future than preceding generations. The realization th…
The Issue of Globalization through the Theory of Imperialism and the Periodization of Modes of Production
The aim of this article is to illustrate why the notions of mode of production and of social formation are still necessary for understanding the transformations taking place in the modern phase of imperialism. The basic object is to demonstrate the enduring significance of the Leninist theory of imperialism as a method used to analyse the current era of the capitalist development. What we have been witnessing over the last years is not the emerge…
American Foreign Policy as Modern Imperialism
Elements of a Marxist theory of imperialism can help explain current U. S. foreign policy as a hegemonic imperialist project. Contrary to the American decline thesis, after the col-lapse of the Soviet bloc the United States managed to retain its hegemonic position in the imperialist chain. This was based on an imperialist strategy that combined full implementation of neoliberal policies and capitalist restructuring of production with increased em…
Towards a Declining State? The Rise of the Headquarters State
In contrast to current notions of globalization having resulted in a diminution of state sovereignty, capitalism is better able to reproduce itself within a national formation. There is thus no such thing as global capitalism but merely imperialism, i.e ., an uneven articulation of national formations. Within this framework the state and its mechanisms are there to ensure the unimpeded reproduction of capitalist relations. Each instance of class …
