The Imprint of Dumbarton Oaks' on Cyprus

Περίληψη

The US has dominared UN decisionmaking structures throughout most of the period following the Dumbarron Oaks conference of 1944. The insistence of the Republic of Cyprus to internationalise the problem through the UN made sense, from the point of view of Greek Cypriot interests, only during a very small period of the Cold War. The focus of the Greek side on the EU factor in the l 990s has thus been sensible, but further strategic analysis is required to ascertain how new contingencies in the greater Middle East will impact upon any solution framework.
