With contributions from Senator George J. Mitchell, Sir David Goodall, Sir George Quigley, Lord Owen and Niall OOCODowd among others, The Long Road to Peace in Northern Ireland shows how the drive for peace in Ireland has evolved, culminating in the Good Friday Agreement. A recurrent theme relates to the nature of peacemaking as a process rather than an event signalled by the signing of an agreement. The significant role of OCythird partyOCO diplomacy is touched on by many contributors, as is the need for pragmatism, compromise, and a recognition that it is those people at the polar extremes of any dispute that have to be drawn in if a lasting agreement is to be achieved. This revised edition includes two new essays as well as further reflections from the original contributors on the advances, diversions and setbacks that have occurred on the long road to peace since this book was first published in 2002."
