Lost in transformation: violent peace and peaceful conflict in Northern Ireland

Peace interventions can promote violence, whilst conflict may be a crucial means for constraining and preventing it. This book explores these statements, re-thinking the relationships between peace, conflict and violence. From this perspective it reinterprets several phenomena that challenge the 'peace process' in Northern Ireland. AUDRA MITCHELL Lecturer in International Relations at the University of York, UK.
