The period in Northern Ireland known as 'the Troubles' (1968-98)
seemed to have been conclusively ended by the official peace
process. But recent violence from dissident Republicans shows that
tensions from the past remain unresolved. State Violence, Collusion
and the Troubles reveals disturbing unanswered questions about the
use of state violence during this period. Maurice Punch documents
in chilling detail how the British government turned to desperate,
illegal measures in a time of crisis, disregarding domestic and
international law. He broadens out his analysis to consider other
cases of state violence against 'insurgent groups' in Spain and
South Africa. This is the story of how the British state
collaborated with violent groups and directly participated in
illegal violence. It also raises urgent questions about why states
around the world continue to deploy such violence rather than
seeking durable political settlements.
