The Good Friday Agreement

Twenty years after the Good Friday Agreement, although Northern Irish politics has avoided returning to the bloodshed of the Troubles, by every other metric it has objectively failed.

The botched parliament at Stormont lumbers from crisis to crisis and has scarcely passed any laws.

At the time of writing, Sinn Fein and the DUP are refusing to share power and Northern Ireland is facing being run directly from London.

This remarkable book examines power-sharing and the peace process in Northern Ireland on the twentieth anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement and asks what it has achieved beyond an end to violence.
