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 emphasizes 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 in
Lessons from the Northern Ireland Peace Process fills a void by articulating the lessons learned and how—or whether—the peace processes can be applied to other regional conflicts.

Editorial Reviews

Review


“Showcases an impressive group of specialists and offers an innovative and thought-provoking analysis, extending our understanding of the Northern Ireland peace process but, importantly, also contributing to a wider debate on civil wars and negotiated settlements.”—Theresa Reidy, University College Cork, editor of
Irish Political Studies


"This edited volume usefully brings together a number of respected scholars who apply both international relations theory and diplomatic history in ways that illuminate both the process and the peace in Northern Ireland. The lessons it offers extend well beyond 'the Troubles.'"—Mitchell B. Reiss, former U.S. special envoy to Northern Ireland

“An excellent volume. . . . Tim White has done an admirable job as editor. . . . Useful not only for students of the Northern Ireland conflict, but to a much wider audience including academics, journalists, and governmental and other participants who deal with peace processes.”—
International Journal of Conflict Management


“A coherent and thorough empirical analysis of the process itself and a thoughtful discussion of what these lessons, if there are any, can contribute to the wider debate on peace building. . . . Displays a great appreciation for the difficulties of resolving civil disputes both in the Northern Irish case and beyond and the need to put conflicts into their own context.”—

Top review from the United States

Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2015
A lot is to be absorbed by reading select chapters of this book. These select chapters cover ( not an exhaustive listing ); Identity of the Ulster-Scots , how they migrated to the North, why they did not get along with the English, their emigration to America, their involvement in the Revolutionary War, their involvement in the "war of northern aggression” Civil War and the Presidents who are descendants of these Ulster-Scots. How the murals in unionist/loyalist neighborhoods of Belfast and Derry reflect Ulster-Scots’ achievements in America. Trimblesitas/Pro-agreement Unionists, Anti-Peace Process Unionists and Neo-Conservatism debate why they consider/do not consider the IRA to have been defeated, and how the IRA made it to the negotiating table. The concessions made/not made by the IRA and the British. How and why the IRA consider themselves to be “undefeated”. Verification that yes the British did in-fact negotiated with the IRA while publicly stating that that would never happen. One of the authors, Paul Dixon, refers to the IRA as terrorists, which they are not (10 demerits). Policing and the peace process - How both Unionist and Republicans perceived the RUC. The ethnic and religious make-up of the RUC. Renaming from RUC to PSNI. All mixed in with the IRA’s decommissioning. US influence and participation, Clinton admin, bush admin, visa for Adams, George Mitchell’s involvement, negotiation of the GFA, Richard Haass, republican’s twin strategy, the Columbia three and FARC and calls to disarm, while 9-11 always looming in the background. Reconciliation and conflict resolution, territorial disputes, partition revisited and all-party talks.
The select chapters ( 4, 5, 6, 7 and 9 ) are packed full of history lessons and facts and are a must read for those of us who crave to acquire each and every fragment of fact of the peace process. I do not want to paint the other chapters with a broad brush, however, some authors simply enjoy seeing their words in writing, and I will leave it at that.

At least-I have heard-that-the apparent success of the Northern Ireland peace process-as a whole-has-also been reviewed
