Abstract

Abstract The model of the Austrian Constitutional Court, with its Kelsenian origins, has been influential in the Cypriot constitutional context in a variety of intertwined and changing ways. The initial constitutional design followed the centralized and concentrated constitutional review by the Supreme Constitutional Court. The collapse of the bi-communal structure of the Cypriot system resulted in the application of the law of necessity and the establishment of a new Supreme Court with a simultaneous decentralization of constitutional review. At the time of writing a new reform initiative is underway, and the discussion about the Austrian model and Kelsen is revived. The continuous and varied influence from the Austrian prototype and interestingly the Kelsenian logic is assessed while recognizing the delicate idiosyncrasies of the Cypriot setting. The argument is that at neither stage the Austrian model was purely applied in Cyprus and the systemic adjustments were the result of improvisation rather than model adherence. This paper highlights the inconsistencies in the understanding of the Austrian model and explains the ‘modelling vertigo’.

塞浦路斯的特殊宪法审查:(重新)设计,生存和Kelsen
奥地利宪法法院的模式,与它的凯尔塞尼起源,已经影响了塞浦路斯宪法的背景下,在各种相互交织和不断变化的方式。最初的宪法设计遵循了最高宪法法院的集中和集中宪法审查。塞浦路斯制度的两族结构的崩溃导致了必要法的适用和新的最高法院的设立,同时分散了宪法审查的权力。在撰写本文时,一项新的改革倡议正在进行中,关于奥地利模式和凯尔森的讨论重新开始。在认识到塞浦路斯环境的微妙特质的同时,评估了奥地利原型和有趣的凯尔森逻辑的持续和变化的影响。论点是,在这两个阶段,奥地利模式都没有完全应用于塞浦路斯,系统性调整是即兴发挥的结果,而不是遵循模式的结果。本文强调了对奥地利模式理解的不一致,并解释了“建模眩晕”。
