Bu makale, Kıbrıs‟ta Türk ve Rum etnik grupları arasında süregiden uyuşmazlığı tarihsel gerçekler temelinde geniş bir perspektiften analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma, aynı zamanda, uyuşmazlığı daha çok yasal ve politik açılardan ele alan geleneksel yaklaşımlara bir kritik niteliğindedir. Çalışmada, Kıbrıs‟taki uyuşmazlığın hem ilişkisel, hem de çıkar boyutları içeren ve geniş anlamda Türkler ile Yunanlılar arasındaki tarihsel travmalara dayanan kompleks bir sorun olduğuna vurgu yapılmakta ve sorunun bu kompleks yapısının kavranamamasının kalıcı bir çözüm üretemeyeceği belirtilmektedir. Analiz temelinde çalışma, barışa yönelik bir takım önerilere de ulaşmaktadır. Bu bağlamda özellikle güven oluşturucu önlemlerin önemine değinilmekte ve söz konusu önlemler detaylı bir biçimde tartışılmaktadır
