CHAPTER ONE: Cyprus, a Special Case -- CHAPTER TWO: Rethinking the "Cyprus Problem" -- CHAPTER THREE: "On-the-Ground" Perspective: Cyprus is a Perfect Example of a Negotiation Culture Inherent in Lengthy Peace Processes -- CHAPTER FOUR: Greek Cypriot Vassiliou and Turkish Cypriot Akinci Bridge the Cyprus Divide -- CHAPTER FIVE: Reflections and Conclusion.

This book follows the author's 22-year journey through Cyprus and surrounding countries beyond in an exploration of conflict resolution with regard to the Cyprus Problem. The struggle is emblematic of numerous international attempts over the years to resolve this identity-based ethnic conflict historically referred to as the Cyprus Problem.

The current situation indicates any solution other than a formal partition of the island between the two communities seems increasingly remote as the years pass.This has led the author to conclude a resolution to the Cyprus Problem no longer is a realistic political goal, but rather one eclipsed by the need for a non-political solution, which at least may succeed in convincing people on both sides to live together peacefully for their joint benefit. A. Marco Turk is Professor and Director Emeritus of the Negotiation, Conflict Resolution and Peacebuilding Program at the California State University Dominguez Hills.
