• Reconciling Ireland: Fifty Years of British-Irish Agreements

Reconciling Ireland is a unique guide to the history of the last half-century, compiling as it does all the texts of the key British-Irish agreements relating to Northern Ireland for the first time. These forty documents, presented alongside expert analysis by author and High Court Judge Richard Humphreys, chart the evolution of the principles of the peace progress and political process from its inception right up to the present day, from the Sunningdale Agreement of 1973, to the 1985 Anglo-Irish Agreement, the 1998 Good Friday Agreement and the New Decade New Approach of 2020 that resolved the Stormont stalemate. 


This definitive collection demonstrates the tremendous progress made towards peace, despite huge obstacles, and gives grounds for optimism for the future. Given the huge challenge to British-Irish relationships caused by Brexit and the increased debate on Irish Unity, Reconciling Ireland will be an invaluable reference work for legal and political engagement for generations to comes. 


'This book is an indispensable guide to half a century of agreements between Ireland and Britain and the parties of Northern Ireland' - Tony Blair
