Lessons learned from Northern Ireland and the Good Friday Peace Process 

Presented by Glucksman Ireland House NYU and The Clinton Institute for American Studies, University College Dublin.
Marking the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, this event will consider some of the lessons to be learned from conflict transformation in Northern Ireland.
The 1998 Good Friday (Belfast) Agreement ended cycles of violence and saved many lives, yet the challenges of ongoing sectarian divisions remain, compounded by Brexit.
Speakers will include Loretta Brennan Glucksman, Ted Smyth, Bonnie Weir, Susan Elliott and Bruce Morrison. They will reflect on negotiations around the peace Agreement, the role of Irish American actors in conflict transformation, and the effects of political sectarianism on democratic resilience in the United States and elsewhere.
At a time of global democratic backsliding and extreme polarization there are fresh lessons to be drawn from Northern Ireland.
