Higher Education and State Legitimation in Cyprus.
Persianis, Panayiotis
Mediterranean Journal of Educational Studies, v4 n2 p51-68 1999
Investigates Cyprus' utilization of higher education policy as compensatory legitimization. Argues that establishment of the University of Cyprus (following considerable political opposition and hesitation over the years) and the character of the state-based university, which is linked to the international community of scholarship, result from the state's use of higher education to make up for its legitimacy deficit.
