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.

Northern Ireland and the Divided World Zusammenfassung

Northern Ireland and the Divided World: Post-Agreement Northern Ireland in Comparative Perspective John McGarry (Professor, Political Science, Professor, Political Science, University of Waterloo, Canada)

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' - its conflict the result of peculiarly local circumstances. Northern Ireland is compared with other divided societies in four continents, including the Aland Islands, the Basque Country, Canada, Cyprus, Corsica, East Timor, Israel/Palestine, Lebanon, Puerto Rico, South Africa, South Tyrol and Sri Lanka. The collection shows that comparative analysis is essential for understanding the dynamics of Northern Ireland's conflict and ethnic conflict in general. It also shows the value of comparative analysis for conflict management. The contributors offer a wealth of suggestions on how to consolidate or change the landmark Agreement that Northern Ireland's political parties reached in April 1998.

Northern Ireland and the Divided World Bewertungen

Brings together a timely and useful collection of essays on Northern Ireland's troubled transformation since the landmark Agreement of April 1998. * Nations and Nationalism *
McGarry's accomplished commentary and his fair-minded editorship makes this book an indispensable companion to post-Agreement politics. The reader feels like a participant in a highly erudite conversation between academics who make their respective points with conviction but with open minds. * Parliamentary Affairs *
New insights may lead to clearer understanding if not to altogether pleasant reading for Ulster's Protestants. * Contemporary Review *
This is an edited text on Northern Ireland, which continues the refreshing trend in considering its conflict in a comparative context ... The contributors are distinguished academics in the field and this shows in the range and quality of the different arguments used ... an important text. * Political Studies *
