A bold and thought-provoking work, Beyond Good Friday outlines new ways of thinking about the future of Northern Ireland. It ought to be read by policymakers and political scientists interested in moving beyond the tried-and-failed confines of ethnic governance. Wide-ranging, yet finely honed, Adams’s book brings research up to date and makes a compelling case for revising received wisdoms. -- Cillian McGrattan, Ulster University, Northern Ireland Paul Adams’ Beyond Good Friday is an important contribution concerning the future of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Providing a comprehensive analysis of the Good Friday Agreement, its achievements, problems, and limitations, Adams proposes several options to amend or replace the GFA, to make the system more representative of and responsive to the needs of the people of Northern Ireland. -- Anthony Novosel, University of Pittsburgh, USA
