An up-to-date insight into the long-term impact of political violence on the civil population of Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland After the Good Friday Agreement Summary

Northern Ireland After the Good Friday Agreement: Victims, Grievance and Blame by Mike Morrissey

The difficulties that have dogged the Northern Ireland peace process and the implementation of the Good Friday Agreement are rarely out of the headlines. This book gives an insight into one of the issues at stake for the people of Northern Ireland - the long-term impact of political violence on the civil population.

The result of extensive research among local communities, and drawing on survey and interview evidence, Northern Ireland After the Good Friday Agreement sets this issue within the context of past conflict and the continuing sectarian violence of the present. In particular it presents the views of ordinary people about their personal experiences of political violence and the impact it has had upon their lives.

Moreover, it shows how the Troubles have affected the young people of the region, and looks at the problems facing a society coming out of a protracted period of low-intensity conflict.
