MAKING THE PEACE injects optimism and freshness into the tragic and epic history of Northern Ireland MAKING THE PEACE opens by considering what type of conflict it is in Ireland and how it fits into wider British and European patterns. It places events in context by looking at historical roots across the centuries. Where did the violence come from and why could it not be pacified? The mixed ideas that sustain the identities and traditions are untangled.Moving through early attempts to find a solution in Northern Ireland and their inevitable failure, Smith then focuses on the 1990s, the Joint Declaration of 1993 and the cease fires of 1994, leading up to the Good Friday Agreement of 1998 and the new Assembly and Executive. Finally, Smith turns to the problems left outstanding, especially dissident Republican paramilitary groups, arms decommissioning, future Loyalist parades and the vexed question of policing in Northern Ireland. He looks also at other ethnic conflicts in Palestine, Basque and Kosovo and the struggles for resolution there. *Examines what type of conflict it is in Ireland and how it fits into wider British and European patterns. *Places events in context by looking at historical roots across the centuries. *Charts the peace initiatives between 1972 and 1992. *Outlines the Joint Declaration of 1993 and the ceasefires of 1994, the Good Friday Agreement of 1998 and the new Assembly and Executive. *Examines the bases of the dissident Republican paramilitary groups, arms decommissioning, future Loyalist parades and the vexed question of policing in Northern Ireland. *Looks at other ethnic conflicts in Palestine, Basque and Kosovo and the struggles for resolution there.
