Ireland: the long end game
Article Abstract:
The conflict in Northern Ireland, although limited in scope, has been a perennial problem that affected the Irish people and, to a lesser extent, the British people owing to the imposition of UK's direct rule on the island in 1972. Attempts to address the problem have been frustrated because the two sides involved are not willing to compromise. The conflict is further aggravated by the Irish Republican Army by exploiting the situation with arms struggle. Although optimists argue that there are prospects for a solution, pessimists insist that such a solution will remain elusive.

Article Abstract:
Eamonn Mallie and David McKittrick, in the second edition of 'The Fight for Peace: The Inside Story of the Irish Peace Process,' delve into the complex mechanics of the peace process in Northern Ireland and the events that resulted to the implementation of the Irish Republican Army and loyalist paramilitary cease-fires in 1994. The book centers on the changing perceptions of the republican movement's traditional method of achieving its objective of a united Ireland through violent means.

The Irish Republican Army enters an endgame: an overview
Article Abstract:
The Irish Republican Army's (IRA) agreeing to a ceasefire on August 31, 1994 has generated a sense of optimism amongst the Irish people towards peace and the building of a united Irish Republic. Though there is still a fear that the IRA will resume armed struggles, currently this appears to be a remote possibility. The IRA is expected to remain a strong force in negotiation till the goals have been met.
