From war to peace: Northern Ireland

On the same day that Americans go to the polls blog readers would be well advised to get themselves down to the LSE for a round table discussion on Northern Ireland as part of the universities public lecture series.

Ideal for anyone covering the UK issues route with Edexcel or students interested in the story of a unique political problem and its peaceful resolution.
