April 2018 marks the 20th anniversary of the signing of the 'Good Friday' Agreement, the historic peace deal that ended nearly 30 years of conflict, a period known as the 'Troubles', in Northern Ireland. In SHAPING THE CONFLICT, DR KIERAN McCONAGHY, Lecturer at the HANDA CENTRE FOR THE STUDY OF TERRORISM AND POLITICAL VIOLENCE, UNIVERSITY OF ST ANDREWS, talks about growing up in County Armagh, making sense of different political narratives, and how the state's response to political violence shaped the Northern Irish conflict.
