The aim of this book is to analyse whether the implementation of the peacebuilding elements of
the Belfast Agreement contributed to the transformation of the protracted Northern Ireland
Conflict. Therefore this book deals with the following sections of the Agreement: Rights
Safeguards and Equality of Opportunity Decommissioning Security Policing and Justice and
Prisoners. The author comes to the conclusion that the majority of the peacebuilding elements
contributed to the transformation of the Northern Ireland Conflict. The results of the study
were obtained in conducting interviews in consulting surveys and in studying reports and
other relevant literature on the recent developments in Northern Ireland.
