Explaining Northern Ireland Broken Images

This is a bold and timely analysis of the conflict in Northern Ireland, offering a comprehensive, up-to-date and constructively critical evaluation of the massive outpouring of literature on the subject. John McGarry and Brendan O'Leary examine the most common explanations of the conflict - nationalist, unionist, Marxist, religious, cultural and economic - highlighting their shortcomings and placing Northern Ireland within a comparative context. Synthesizing their conclusions, the authors advance a realistic but imaginative prognosis for conflict-resolution in this most troubled region. The book will be welcomed by students of contemporary history and politics and the general reader alike.McGarry, John is the author of 'Explaining Northern Ireland Broken Images' with ISBN 9780631183488 and ISBN 0631183485.
