Download or read book Endgame in Ireland written by Eamonn Mallie and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eamonn Mallie and David McKittrick have been granted unique access to the research undertaken for the TV series ENDGAME IN IRELAND. As controversial as the television series this book tells, more vividly than ever before, the inside story of the peace process from 1981 through the words of the key people invloved - many of whom have never talked 'on the record'. It is an extraordinary story of secret meeings and clandestine negotiations as all parties struggled to overcome centuries of distrust. As well as the material from the series, the authors have included extra material so that the book is illuminated by their insight gained through their long experience reporting to on the conflict. This book is not only a new portrayal of people and events, but an important addition to our understanding of Irish history.

Book Synopsis UVF - The Endgame by : Henry McDonald
Download or read book UVF - The Endgame written by Henry McDonald and published by Poolbeg Press Ltd. This book was released on 2016-06-30 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now that Northern Ireland’s “troubles” appear to be over, with old enemies the DUP and Sinn Féin sharing power, what will happen to the hard men of loyalism? The Ulster Volunteer Force emerged during the first sparks of Northern Ireland’s Troubles in the mid-1960s. Their campaign of violence quickly marked them out as one of the most extreme loyalist groups. Henry MacDonald and Jim Cusack provide a fascinating insight into the UVF’s origins, growth and decline. They follow the careers of some of the key players in the UVF, including Gusty Spence, Billy Wright and David Ervine. They catalogue the atrocities in which the UVF were involved, including the Dublin and Monaghan bombings; the emergence of the notorious renegade Shankill Butchers; and the various bloody feuds that have infected loyalism. They trace the paramilitary organisation from the violent margins, through the horrors of the 1970s and 1980s, to its shaky 1994 ceasefire and its crucial (if sometimes reluctant) role in the peace process that led up to the signing of the Good Friday Agreement in 1998.
Book Synopsis Britain and Europe by : Dáithí O'Ceallaigh
Download or read book Britain and Europe written by Dáithí O'Ceallaigh and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Britain's fraught relationship with Europe is analysed in this study prepared by Ireland's leading think tank, the Institute of International and European Affairs (IIEA). The third in a series that stretches back over 20 years, the authors argue that the relationship has entered the endgame. If not managed with daring and imagination, it could result in Britain exiting from the European Union, perhaps unwittingly. The consequences are examined under a number of headings, including: the political and economic future of the United Kingdom; its options for a new external relationship with Europe; the political impact on the European Union; the implications for Ireland, with particular reference to the economy; and on the totality of Irish-British relations, with special attention to the effect on Northern Ireland. The threat of UK withdrawal requires a unique response. This study proposes a bespoke solution by creating a Union with four cores which would enable Britain to be simultaneously both inside and outside the Union. The proposal has the great merit of dealing with political realities and of preventing a potential disaster for all concerned. The study closes with a series of recommendations for pre-emptive action by the EU as whole and by Ireland in particular."--Page 4 of cover

Bush's responses to international terrorism in the wake of 9/11. Each chapter includes essential background information, a chronology of events, and primary source documents. Through all these elements, even students with little or no background in history will gain a new understanding of how presidents, institutions, and issues all shape American foreign policy.
Book Synopsis The Intelligence War against the IRA by : Thomas Leahy
Download or read book The Intelligence War against the IRA written by Thomas Leahy and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-26 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The exposure of two senior republicans as informers for British intelligence in 2005 led to a popular perception that the IRA had 'lost' the intelligence war and was pressurised into peace. In this first in-depth study across the entire conflict, Thomas Leahy re-evaluates the successes and failures of Britain's intelligence activities against the IRA, from the use of agents and informers to special-forces, surveillance and electronic intelligence. Using new interview material alongside memoirs and Irish and UK archival materials, he suggests that the IRA was not forced into peace by British intelligence. His work sheds new light on key questions in intelligence and security studies. How does British intelligence operate against paramilitaries? Is it effective? When should governments 'talk to terrorists'? And does regional variation explain the outcome of intelligence conflicts? This is a major contribution to the history of the conflict and of why peace emerged in Northern Ireland.

Download or read book The Long March written by M. Frampton and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-30 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sinn Féin has undergone a startling transformation in the last two-and-a-half decades. Under the leadership of its two principal figures Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness the mainstream party of Irish republicanism has changed beyond almost all recognition. It has moved from the margins of political life, on both sides of the Irish border, to a position where it occupies the Deputy First Minister's chair in Northern Ireland and was viewed, until recently, as the coming force in southern Irish politics. In this book, the contours of Sinn Féin's recent evolution are considered, with particular emphasis on the various strategic objectives that the party has set itself. Sinn Féin's attitude to the Northern Irish peace process is considered at length here and the book challenges the 'conventional wisdom' that would juxtapose republican 'politics' and republican 'war' the notion being that, during the 1990s, republicans exchanged the latter for the former and were, therefore, 'tamed' into becoming a 'normal' political party. The central argument here is that such a view rests on a false dichotomy. It has been said that 'war is merely the continuation of politics'; with respect to Sinn Féin, it is argued, the inverse formulation needs also to be considered, with republican politics seen, by republicans themselves, as an extension of the war. In following through this line of argument, this book attempts to consider republicans on their own terms; to take their thoughts and words 'seriously' and to examine their recent history accordingly.

Book Synopsis Forgiveness and Politics by : Kethoser Aniu Kevichusa
Download or read book Forgiveness and Politics written by Kethoser Aniu Kevichusa and published by Langham Publishing. This book was released on 2017-11-14 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forgiveness and politics are often assumed, both ordinarily and academically, to be unrelated and un-relatable. This study not only argues that forgiveness and politics can be related, but also that they are intrinsically related. In making the case, this publication explores both the biblical foundations of forgiveness, and the concepts and practices of politics, justice, and reconciliation. The findings are tested and illustrated within two case studies of forgiveness, examining the conflict in Northern Ireland and several conflicts in Nagaland, India.
Book Synopsis Terrorism, Talking and Transformation by : Harmonie Toros
Download or read book Terrorism, Talking and Transformation written by Harmonie Toros and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-02-27 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using rare field research, this book investigates whether and how talking may transform terrorist violence. Given the failings of today’s dominant counterterrorism strategy, is talking a viable policy option to transform conflicts marked by terrorist violence? This book examines the reasons why "negotiating with terrorists" is so often shunned by decision-makers and scholars as a policy response, concluding that such objections are primarily based on a realist and statist understanding of terrorism that has dominated the field so far. Based on interviews with top rebel and military commanders in the southern Philippine region of Mindanao and interviewing key actors in Northern Ireland, Terrorism, Talking and Transformation investigates how talking may contribute to the transformation of conflicts marked by terrorist violence. The result of this analysis is a theoretically grounded, empirically recognizable and emancipation oriented framework that can be used to investigate the potential of talking in transforming not only terrorist (and counterterrorist) violence, but also the underlying structural violence that often surrounds it. This book will be of much interest to students in the fields of terrorism studies, security studies, Southeast Asian studies, conflict resolution/transformation and IR in general, and of use to practitioners in the field.
