The Northern Ireland Conflict

Despite decommissioning and political compromise, violent incidents are still rife and Unionists and Nationalists are as segregated as ever. This book uses the archival material to chart the history of The Troubles and examine their legacy.

The definitive study of this troubled region

Description

The Northern Ireland Conflict was one of the most bloody, protracted, and bitter campaigns of terrorist violence in modern history. Rooted in the partition of Ireland in 1921, over 50,000 people were killed or seriously injured because of the hostilities between Catholic nationalists and Protestant unionists. Despite the landmark Good Friday Agreement in 1998, violent incidents are still rife and new paramilitary groups are becoming ever more emboldened.

This landmark introduction uses the latest archival material to chart the history of The Troubles and to examine the possible factors behind the political compromise of Sinn Fein and the DUP. Exploring the legacy of sectarian violence and inconsistent British intervention, the authors assert that, unfortunately, Northern Ireland is perhaps as fiercely segregated as ever.
