Performing the Northern Ireland Peace Process: In Defence of Politics by Paul Dixon
English | PDF,EPUB | 2018 (2019 Edition) | 323 Pages | ISBN : 3319913425 | 5.34 MB
This book is exceptional in defending the ‘dirty politics’ of the Northern Ireland peace process. Political actors in Britain, Ireland and the United States performed the peace process and used ‘political skills’, often including deception and hypocrisy, in order to wind down the conflict and achieve accommodation. These political skills, it is argued, are often morally justifiable even as they are popularly condemned. The Northern Ireland peace process has been highly successful in reducing violence and an accurate understanding of its politics is an important contribution to international debates about managing conflict.
