Abstract
The primary objective of this book has been to contribute towards the understanding of the way social insurance and, in particular, pensions evolved in Cyprus, from the arrival of the British colonial forces in 1878 until currently. This book historically examined the development of the Cypriot welfare state and aimed to place Cyprus as a case study within the literature of welfare state developments. Surprisingly, while social insurance is considered to be a well-known policy measure to workers and pensioners in Cyprus today, the social aspects of its genesis and growth had remained underexplored. The exploratory character of this book followed, for the first time in Cyprus, the historical and political emergence of social insurance as a dynamic and continuing social phenomenon.
