dc.description.abstractThis research study makes an evaluation of conflict resolution and second track diplomacy initiations on the Cyprus conflict. While scholars have made attempted to use what is technically called first track diplomacy on the aforementioned conflict, literature search has shown that the use of first track diplomacy as an instrument of conflict resolution to bring the conflict between the Greek Cypriots and the Turkish Cypriots of Cyprus to an end has substantially failed. Thus, the main objective of the study is to ascertain the extent to which the conflict resolution via second track diplomacy initiation can resolve the Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots of Cyprus conflict. Adopting the descriptive research design as well as primary and secondary method of data collection and subsequently analysed via thematic method of data analysis, the research stressed the need for application of track-two diplomacy to achieve a successful conflict resolution in the Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots conflict. The study discovered that the adoption of mediation and network theory of International Relations can champion the cause of conflict resolution in the Cyprus conflict, since the centrality of these theories posit that third- party actors can establish a strong resolution process in conflict and aid track-one diplomacy’s success. The study concludes that informal actors holds a pivotal position in influencing collaboration, and tackling the underlying factors that contribute to the Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots conflict as it will aid reconciliation and understanding between the two communities. The study recommends the adoption of a network-mediation methodology for the resolution of Cyprus conflict. The present methodology amalgamates the principles of network theory and mediation theory, underscoring and emphasising the significance of third-party and informal actors in conflict resolution cases in global politics.
