A ‘just and lasting solution’ to the Cyprus problem: In search of institutional viability

This article examines the possible nature of a ‘just and lasting solution’ to the Cyprus Problem. Four factors are seen to affect the viability of a solution, namely, the relative capacity of the Greek and Turkish Cypriot sides to impose costs in the event of either withdrawing from inter‐ethnic co‐operation, the extent to which each party perceives the solution to be fair, the continuous influence of informal rules that may promote ethnic identification and, finally, the judicial enforcement and legislative maintenance of the agreed solution. The discussion generates a number of insights into several aspects of the dispute including: security guarantees, territorial adjustments, the freedom of movement and establishment and the right of property, a federal versus a confederal solution and, finally, the desirable nature of the constitution of a multiethnic Cyprus.
