It shows how stereotyped conceptions of the problem as a product of 'ancient hatreds', allied to solutions based on Realpolitik, have failed to transform Northern Ireland from a fragile peace, following the exhaustion of protracted paramilitary campaigns, to genuine reconciliation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book concludes with practical proposals for constitutional reforms which would favour genuine power-sharing-rather than merely sharing power out-and set Northern Ireland on the road to the 'normal', civic society its long-suffering residents desire. It will be essential reading not only for academics and postgraduates interested in ethnic conflict but also for policy-makers who confront it in practice.","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47890377179287,"sku":"9781784993962","price":2815.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781784993962.webp?v=1781179754","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-northern-ireland-experience-of-conflict-and-agreement-a-model-for-export-9781784993962","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
