Description
This panel revisits the ‘troubles’ and asks a series of questions about how and why those years of war shaped the politics of the British Isles, how peace was eventually negotiated and discusses the consequences of that settlement. Experts reflect on how education, society and policing were affected towards the end of the ‘troubles’. It also asks what lessons can be learnt for other divided places.
