Northern Ireland and the Divided World - Post-Agreement Northern Ireland in Comparative Perspective

Zusatztext Brings together a timely and useful collection of essays on Northern Ireland's troubled transformation since the landmark Agreement of April 1998. Written by a leading group of scholars in the field, this unique volume examines post-Agreement Northern Ireland. It shatters the myth that Northern Ireland is 'a place apart'. The book compares the conflict in Northern Ireland with other divided societies worldwide and argues that comparative analysis is essential for understanding the dynamics of Northern Ireland's conflict and ethnic conflict in general. Zusammenfassung This volume examines post-Agreement Northern Ireland, shattering the myth that the conflict there is the result of local circumstances. The value of comparative analysis for conflict management is debated as the authors examine other divided societies, such as Israel/Palestine and South Africa.
