More than twenty years after the peace agreement signed in Belfast
on 10 April 1998, an assessment is overdue, particularly given the
current political context in Northern Ireland. A serious political
crisis led to the suspension of the regional institutions from
January 2017 to January 2020, and the Brexit negotiations did not
facilitate the search for a solution, especially as the
confidence-and-supply agreement between the British Conservative
Party and the DUP prevented London from acting as an honest broker
between Sinn Fein and the DUP. At the same time, the issue of the
Irish border created tensions between Dublin and London. This
situation was compounded by the resurgence of rioting, mostly in
Loyalist areas of Belfast and Derry/Londonderry, in April 2021,
against the backdrop of Brexit's Northern Ireland Protocol and
communal resentment. Emanating from a conference jointly organised
at the University of Caen Normandy and La Rochelle University, this
collection of essays - bringing together academic and independent
scholars from various disciplines and nationalities - takes a
critical look at the implementation of the Good Friday Agreement,
from the collaboration between Dublin and London to the new
political configurations in Northern Ireland, as well as
interfaith, cultural, social and economic developments. Divided
into three main parts, it furnishes an opportunity to better
understand the reasons for the apparent deterioration in
inter-community understanding since 1998, but also to study the
numerous initiatives that have sought to promote reconciliation, be
it in the economy, the working environment, in the literary and
artistic spheres, in schools or in the urban landscape.
