After three decades of violence, Northern Ireland has experienced
unprecedented peace. This book examines the impact of the 1998
Agreement which halted the violence on those most affected by it
– the Northern Irish people themselves. Using public opinion
surveys conducted over half a century, this book covers changes in
public opinion across all areas of society and politics, including
elections, education, community relations and national identity.
The surveys show that despite peace, Protestants and Catholics
remain as deeply divided as ever. The vast majority marry
co-religionists, attend religious schools and have few friends
across the religious divide. The results have implications not just
for peace-making in Northern Ireland, but for other societies
emerging from conflict. The main lesson of peace-making in Northern
Ireland is that political reform has to be accompanied by social
change across the society as a whole. Peace after conflict needs
social as well as political change. -- .
