From the early 1970s through the mid-1990s, Northern Ireland was
the site of bitter conflict between those struggling for
reunification with the rest of Ireland and those wanting the region
to remain a part of the United Kingdom. After years of strenuous
negotiations, nationalists and unionists came together in 1998 to
sign the Good Friday Agreement. Northern Ireland's peace process
has been deemed largely successful. Yet remarkably little has been
done to assess in a comprehensive fashion what can be learned from
it. Lessons from the Northern Ireland Peace Process incorporates
recent research that emphasises the need for civil society and a
grassroots approach to peacebuilding while taking into account a
variety of perspectives, including neoconservatism and
revolutionary analysis. The contributions, which include the
reflections of those involved in the negotiation and implementation
of the Good Friday Agreement, also provide policy prescriptions for
modern conflicts. This collection of essays fills a void by
articulating the lessons learned and how-or whether-the peace
processes can be applied to other regional conflicts.
