Reviews / Votes
'Is there an answer to the Cyprus Question? James Ker-Lindsay asked 30 ... leading experts to say if they really thought five decades of divisions on the island could be resolved. The richly differing answers he received are a showcase of the best and clearest thinking about why five major rounds of talks have failed. Fresh, thoughtful and cliche-free writing.' Hugh Pope, Deputy Director, Europe and Central Asia, International Crisis Group' As the UN Peacekeeping mission on the island marks its 50th anniversary, the Cyprus Problem has become part of modern history. But that does not mean that it is impossible to solve. Without attempting to propose a blueprint, James Ker-Lindsay has assembled a balanced expert panel with a range of ideas about the settlement process and potential solutions.' Sir David Madden KCMG, former British High Commissioner to CyprusMore details
