This study is available in paperback for the first time. At no time
in Northern Ireland's history did so many significant political
initiatives occur as between 1972 and 1975, the most violent and
polarised years of the region's conflict. Using archival sources,
this book analyses the political events and processes that informed
the British government's Northern Ireland policy at the time, the
complex interactions between Northern Ireland political parties,
and the importance of the British-Irish diplomatic relationship to
the search for a solution to the Northern Ireland conflict.
Focusing on the rise and fall of the power-sharing Executive and
the Sunningdale Agreement, the book challenges a number of
persistent myths, including those concerning the role of the Irish
government in the Northern Ireland conflict. It contests the notion
that the years 1972 to 1975 represent a 'lost peace process', but
demonstrates that the policies established during this period
provided the template for Northern Ireland's current, ongoing peace
settlement. -- .
