This comprehensive and original study is the first to explain in detail how the Good Friday Agreement ran into trouble, why we are still some way from a final settlement, but why a return to war is most unlikely--even in an age where global terror now threatens world order more seriously than at any time in the past. This new edition of an established, authoritative text will be essential reading for students, researchers and academics of Irish politics, conflict and peace studies, and international relations.

Focusing on the aftermath of the political settlements in Northern Ireland and South Africa during the 1990s, this book analyzes the transformations within these divided societies. It explores the impact of these agreements, highlighting the comparative aspects that contributed to their unique paths toward peace and stability. The examination provides insights into the complexities of political reconciliation and the ongoing challenges faced by both regions in their quest for lasting harmony.
