Ian McBride (Oxford), The Lessons of the Northern Ireland Peace Process

Date: Thursday 15 October
Time: 17:00
Venue: Magdalen College, Auditorium 

Ever since the Good Friday Agreement of 1998, peace-makers and politicians have commended Northern Ireland as a model of conflict resolution. But what are the lessons of the peace process? Is it always a good idea to talk to terrorists? Should negotiations be inclusive, and what is the relationship between democracy and disarmament of militant groups? Does the participation of women make it more likely that conflict resolution will succeed? And is it really our business, as historians, to help identify the lessons of the past?

There will be a drinks reception after the lecture. All are very welcome.
