Trade Review"Of the recent publications on the 'Cyprus Problem', Divided Cyprus ranks amongst the best. It is scholarly, very well conceived, nicely structured, and expertly executed. Most importantly, it is thought provoking. I highly recommend it to any serious scholar of Cyprus’ past and present, and to those interested in its future progress." —Cyprus Review
"[This] collection demonstrates a most unusual depth of articulation and balance in its accounts.... [It] is well crafted to reach a fariety of audiences, including students, scholars, and activists concerned with Cyprus, and most certainly political geographers interested in unpacking the workings of spatial power in zones of conflict." —Political Geography, Issue 29, 2010
