External Influences in the Cyprus Conflict: Help or Hindrance? The Role of the European Union

Summary/Abstract: The review article focuses on the objectives set by the European Union in the Cyprus conflict to reconcile the island, promote cross-border collaboration, and end the isolation of the Turkish Cypriots. Subsequently it assesses in how far these objectives correspond to the measures taken and how far the aims have actually been met. It concludes that EU measures generally do not always meet the set objectives. This is because of a lack of coherence between the measures taken in the north and in the south of the island as a result of often poorly implemented regulations, as highlighted in the reports of the European Commission.
