Description: Since the 1950s Cyprus has been a place of tension, friction, and violence caused by the clashing interests and claims of the two local communities and three NATO allies - Greece, Turkey and Britain. This book is a scholarly work of analysis and interpretation examining the causes and dynamics of the Cyprus problem at both the domestic and international levels.

The Cyprus dispute has also presented a threat to international peace and security, and caused UN, NATO and EU involvement in various ways and settings. The book examines these aspects and implications of the problem, and provides some insight into the dynamics and complexities of ethnopolitics and international politics.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 193-206) and index.
