| Shrnutí: | Volume one of the most authoritative and revealing account yet of how the Irish Government managed the Northern Ireland peace process and helped broker a political settlement to end the conflict there. Based on eight extended interviews with key officials and political leaders, this book provides a compelling picture of how the peace process was created and how it came to be successful. Covering areas such as informal negotiation, text and context, strategy, working with British and American Governments, and offering perceptions of other players involved in the dialogue and negotiations that led to the Good Friday Agreement of 1998 and the power-sharing arrangements that followed, this dramatic account will become a major source for academics and interested readers alike for years to come. Volume one deals with the Irish Government and Sunningdale (1973) and the Anglo-Irish Agreement (1985) and Volume two on the Good Friday Agreement (1998) and beyond. "This book offers the most comprehensive account yet of how the Irish Government worked to bring the Northern Ireland conflict to an end. Based on long-form interviews with key officials and political leaders, it throws much-needed new light on how the many tensions and problems that emerged in the peace process were managed and overcome to bring about the Good Friday Agreement of 1998, and the political and institutional changes that emerged from that moment. Providing a range of new and original insights on the individual and collective efforts needed to make a peace process work, the book first covers the power-sharing experiment at Sunningdale before detailing the negotiations that led to the Anglo-Irish Agreement and, more substantively, the peace process that followed. Many here have not been interviewed before and each interview-chapter takes the reader into the heart of the negotiating room, detailing the intensity of purpose and commitment needed to reach a political settlement. The interviews reveal the iterative nature of the peace process and, through the voices of those on the inside, provide the most dramatic and authoritative picture yet of how the peace process came to change the course of history." -- Back cover. |
