Cyprus: Ethnic Conflict and International Politics

From Independence to the Threshold of the European Union

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

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. The Cyprus question has also presented dangers and opportunities to the USA, USSR/Russia and international organizations including the UN, NATO and the EU. The book examines these aspects and implications of the problem, and provides some insight into the dynamics and complexities of ethnopolitics and international politics.
