Beschreibung
This book is about the domestic aspects and international implications of the conflict between the Greeks and the Turks in Cyprus. During the last three decades, the island has been a place of friction and violence caused by the clashing interests and claims of the two local ethnic groups, and three NATO allies – Greece, Turkey, and Britain. The far-reaching consequences of the conflict, seen in connection with the strategic location of the island, have also presented dangers and opportunities to the United States and the Soviet Union, and caused superpower intervention. The Cypriot dispute has also presented a threat to international peace and security, and caused UN involvement in various ways and settings. This study examines these aspects and implications of the problem, and provides some insight into the dynamics and complexities of ethnopolitics and international politics.
