Summary:

This critique of the Northern Ireland power sharing conflict resolution model of the 1970s re-examines the popular belief that the strategy was genuinely successful and should be seen as a model for negotiating sectarian conflicts in other countries. The work provides a detailed analysis of negotiated settlements and applies the lessons learned about the motivations of groups and individual actors to wider questions of conflict resolutions in regions such as the Balkans. Wilson is an independent scholar and an honorary research fellow at University College London. Distributed in the US by Palgrave Macmillan.
