Abstract
After years of violence, which resulted in the deaths of more than 3600 people, the Good Friday/Belfast Agreement was signed in 1998 between the British and Irish governments and endorsed by the majority of political parties in Northern Ireland. This agreement provided for a new, and agreed, constitutional settlement in Northern Ireland, with a system of consociationalism, or powersharing, at its core.
