CuDiCy had set out to explore the cultural diplomacy (CD) of three states: the UK, Greece and Turkey, as this was practiced in Cyprus between 1945 and 1974. The project introduces Cyprus as a space accommodating multiple and diverse cultural diplomacies, most prominently during the period in question Greek and British cultural diplomacy, and provides an apt example for the study of CD. Timely and relevant, CuDiCy aspired to set a new paradigm in the growing field of CD, by becoming the study model for an innovative approach towards the exploration of external cultural influence in countries which accommodate ethnically diverse populations. It aimed in contributing to the discussion about the conceptualisation of power, politics, authority and governance and, on the formation and transformation of identity. CuDiCy achieved this by reaching a set of objectives: 1) to investigate, analyse and explain the diverse and complicated functions of what was CD during the period, what was its aim and how and if it accomplished its tasks; 2) to examine the significance of CD in Cyprus and examine what the UK, Greece and Turkey tried to achieve by promoting their culture in Cyprus, their motivations, their methods for organising their CD; their methods of influence and attraction, and the impact these diverse CDs had in Cyprus; 3) to investigate the setup of CD in Cyprus and the organisational circumstances that defined the agents’ intentions and actions, also by paying attention to specific aspects, for example the gender dimension; 4) to establish the project’s current relevance by answering a set of questions rooted in present tense, in current CD and IR debates, for example how do the national powers project themselves today, also in relation to their past practices in CD, or how do key themes investigated during CuDiCy, such as ‘cultural influence’ and ‘nation branding’, correspond with (or differ from) key themes in the current debate such as ‘soft power’. In addition to the archival evidence gathered for answering these questions, original evidence was to be collected via empirical research during secondments and research visits. 5) Finally, to define the impact of CD’s role in Cyprus by exploring how its success or failure could be measured.
