Cyprus - whose crisis? by Petros Kosmas, republished from the Bretton Woods Project with thanks - 29 Mar -
The economic crisis in Cyprus erupted during the second cycle of the European recession of 2011 as a result of harsh austerity policies imposed since 2010 in Europe. It is a new crisis born out of a failed response to the original European crisis.

Given the widespread concern about skill shortages, it has attracted a lot of support from government, industry, professional institutions and individual scientists and engineers.
