- This monograph is the product of eight years of doctoral and postdoctoral research. Early drafts of the middle sections were substantially revised after access was gained to new private diaries on the 1974-76 British-Provisional IRA talks. The monograph systematically reconstructs the formulation of British policy across constitutional, security and economic spheres, drawing on state archives, private papers of political and paramilitary figures, as well as public sources such as newspapers and parliamentary debates. It argues that the 1974-79 period saw the British state accept its inability to impose a settlement in Northern Ireland.
