TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - The Cypriot Civil Society movement: A legitimate player in the peace process? JO - Journal of peacebuilding and development A1 - Jarraud, Nicolas A1 - Louise, Christopher A1 - Filippou, Giorgos SP - 45 EP - 59 VL - 8 IS - 1 N2 - Efforts to resolve Cyprus's frozen conflict have frustrated the international community for nearly forty years. One of the causes of this lack of progress is a fundamental 'democratic deficit' in previous efforts at peacebuilding. In response to this deficit, a civil society movement for peace has slowly but inexorably emerged in the last few decades, engaging in a wide range of reconciliation efforts. In light of an ever-evolving enabling environment, this paper asks if this civil society movement has acquired the capacity and the constituency that could establish it as a legitimate interlocutor within an expanded peace process.
