Beschreibung:
The ''Sunningdale experiment'' of 1973-4 witnessed the first attempt to establish peace in Northern Ireland through power-sharing. However, its provisions, particularly the cross-border ''Council of Ireland'', proved to be a step too far. The experiment floundered amid ongoing paramilitary-led violence, finally collapsing in May 1974 as a result of the Ulster Workers'' Council strike.Drawing on new scholarship from some of the top political historians working on the period, this book presents a series of reflections on how key protagonists struggled with notions of power-sharing and the ''Irish dimension'', and how those struggles inhibited a deepening of democracy and the ending of violence for so long.
