东地中海地区的紧张局势正在加剧，需要仔细了解该地区大小国家外交政策背后的动机。本文探讨了塞浦路斯共和国和土耳其的外交政策背后的动机及其对冲突动态的影响，说明了软平衡和解决冲突的前景之间的复杂关系，考虑到多方冲突的空间动态。它认为，塞浦路斯共和国和土耳其不断变化的反应影响了冲突本身，吸引了更多的行为者，从而扩大了冲突的空间范围。这一主题对研究冻结冲突，跨大西洋安全以及东地中海地区及其他地区的和平与稳定具有影响。
Tensions are on the rise in the Eastern Mediterranean, calling for a careful understanding of the motivations behind the foreign policies of small and large states in the region. This article explores the motivations behind the Republic of Cyprus and Turkey's foreign policies and their implications for conflict dynamics, illustrating the complex relationship between soft balancing and the prospects for conflict resolution, considering the spatial dynamics of multi-party conflicts. It argues that the Republic of Cyprus' and Turkey's changing responses influenced the very conflict itself, by pulling in more actors and thereby expanding its spatial scope. This topic has implications for the study of frozen conflicts, transatlantic security, and peace and stability in the Eastern Mediterranean region and beyond.
