In 1998, the people of Ireland, Northern
Ireland, and England
voted to approve the Good Friday Agreement as a means of reconciling
political and community differences and moving Northern Ireland toward greater
political, economic, and social stability. 2008 marks the 10th anniversary of
the Good Friday Agreement, and while
the Agreement effectively ended 30 years of violent conflict, the deep
political and community divisions that remain have thwarted the
implementation of a working political structure in Northern Ireland. For this
reason, 2008 presents a potent opportunity for students to explore conflict
and reconciliation in Ireland
and Northern Ireland.
