In May 2007, the world witnessed the all but unthinkable sight of
Ian Paisley Sr. and Martin McGuinness being sworn in as Northern
Ireland's First and Deputy First Ministers. How these former
enemies were transformed into allies however remains poorly
understood. Peace Without Consensus demonstrates that the rise of
Sinn Fein and the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) was not
'inevitable'. Rather, it argues that critics who blame Northern
Ireland's power-sharing institutions for the electoral triumph of
the political 'extremes' in 2003 have not fully considered how the
US, British and Irish governments contributed to this outcome.
Through interviews with key US, British and Irish officials this
groundbreaking analysis, which represents the first examination of
the Bush administration's vital role in the peace process,
demonstrates that Washington and Dublin were considering a deal
between the DUP and Sinn Fein as early as 2002. Mary-Alice C.
Clancy's theoretically informed and empirically grounded book
presents new and salient lessons for other regions embroiled in
conflict and should be read by all those interested in Northern
Ireland's peace process and US foreign policy.
