This book examines the role of the United States of America in the
Northern Ireland conflict and peace process. It begins by looking
at how US figures engaged with Northern Ireland, as well as the
wider issue of Irish partition, in the years before the outbreak of
what became known as the 'Troubles'. From there, it considers early
interventions on the part of Congressional figures such as Senator
Edward Kennedy and the Congressional hearings on Northern Ireland
that took place in the aftermath of Bloody Sunday, 1972. The author
then analyses the causes and consequences of the State Department
decision to ban the sale of weapons to the Royal Ulster
Constabulary, before considering the development of the US role in
Northern Ireland through the Reagan administration and the onset of
US financial support for conflict resolution in the form of the
International Fund for Ireland. The study concludes by assessing
the dynamics behind the role that President Clinton assumed
following his election in 1992 and examining how Presidents Bush
and Obama attempted to capitalize on the momentum of the 1998 Good
Friday Agreement.
