Northern Ireland2021

Appropriate for undergraduate students in Irish/Northern Ireland Politics, this book combines an examination of the historical context of the Northern Ireland conflict with an examination of the contemporary political situation and the peace process. It explores the issues behind the longevity of the conflict, and provides a detailed analysis of the attempts to create a lasting peace in Northern Ireland. *This is the first textbook to address the political situation in light of recent developments relating to the 1990's peace process and the recent return to violence - making this the most up-to-date book available on the subject. *Debate and analysis will sit alongside historical and ideological description - allowing the student to develop the analytical tools necessary to analyse and understand a complex and contentious topic.
