本文通过考察英国政府和包括新芬党和爱尔兰共和军在内的临时共和运动这两个关键角色之间的关键关系，对北爱尔兰和平解决方案进行了新的分析。它追溯了这些关键当事方之间的谈判关系，并认为，20世纪90年代暴力冲突的结束最好被理解为这两个行动者之间长期谈判过程的结果，这种谈判过程在20多年的时间里既默契又明确。报告的结论是，英国政府与临时领导层之间合作关系的发展，以及英国政策与共和派战略的积极协调，是确保20世纪90年代暴力结束的关键因素。
This article offers a new analysis of the Northern Ireland peace settlement through an examination of the pivotal relationship between two key actors: the British state and the Provisional Republican movement that included Sinn Féin and the IRA. It traces the negotiating relationship between these key parties and argues that the ending of violent conflict in the 1990s can best be understood as the outcome of a long bargaining process between these two actors that was conducted both tacitly and explicitly over a span of more than two decades. It concludes that the development of a cooperative relationship between the British state and the Provisional leadership and the active coordination of British policy and republican strategy were the crucial elements in securing an end to violence in the 1990s.
