The political scene in Northern Ireland is constantly evolving.
This book reflects the most recent changes and synthesises some of
the best thinking on the subject. It provides an overview of the
politics of Northern Ireland, including detailed coverage of the
institutional structure under the Good Friday Agreement and an
evaluation of how the institutions operated in practice.
Opening with the historical context and discussion of the nature
of the conflict, the standpoints of unionism, nationalism, loyalism
and republicanism are explored. The evolution of political
initiatives since the 1970s is traced, leading to the peace process
of the 1990s and culminating in the Good Friday Agreement in 1998.
The period of devolution in Northern Ireland (1999-2002) will be
evaluated, and the book will conclude with coverage of political
developments post-suspension, paying particular attention to the
on-going debate on changes to the Agreement and the prospects for
power-sharing.
Readers will gain:
An impartial understanding of Northern Irish politics
The confidence to use some of the more complicated political
concepts in their study of the subject
An ability to go beyond understanding and analyse, question and
discuss Northern Irish politics
