How peace agreements are derailed: The evolution of values in Cyprus, 1959-74

Article Abstract:

The relationship between risk-taking behavior and value prioritization is investigated and an analytical framework is developed to explain where groups stood over time on a high/low conflict continuum in the case of Cyprus 1959-74. It seeks to explain how peace agreements derail by focusing on the evolution of value-frames held by agent/stakeholders representing ethnic groups in conflict.
