Cyprus is a conflict at the crossroads in more than one sense. It has been the site of one of the most long-standing and protracted conflicts in international politics, bedevilled by a complex interplay of actors and factors at the local, regional, European and international levels. Yet it finds itself at a particularly crucial moment in its historical evolution. This book is divided into four main parts. The first focuses on the internal actors and units of analysis within conflict contexts, and illustrates how and why delving into the dynamics within conflict parties can offer a richer and more comprehensive understanding of the existence, persistence and evolution of conflict. The second book turns to external actors and factors in conflict, and assess how the regional, European and wider international dimensions of the Cyprus conflict have influenced conflict dynamics, in interaction with its internal determinants. The third part broadens this set of approaches by involving the case of Cyprus in comparative analysis, be this on the constitutional features of future solutions, on the role of one internal actor in conflict within European Union, such as the refugees, or on the role of an external actor involved in conflict resolution. The last part of the book broadens out beyond conflict studies strictly defined.
