Description: The ongoing conflict between Greek and Turkish Cypriots poses a severe challenge to the European Union. With European Union enlargement moving ever closer, the issue of Cyprus embodies the problems that are increasingly likely to arise when a fundamentally civilian organization is faced with the problems of tackling ethnopolitical conflict. Can the European Union play an effective role in forging a path towards settlement and what would be the likely outcome for the divided island should a settlement not be reached?
