CTI 406 - Northern Ireland: Long Road to Peace

3 Cr. Hrs.
Common Learning Outcomes 05. [CT] Critical thinking skills: inquiry, analysis and creative problem-solving, 09. [WC] Written communication skills

This course examines the causes and effects of the Northern Irish Troubles (1966-1998), mistakes that led to polarization between the nationalist/Catholic and unionist/loyalist/Protestant communities, why attempts at peaceful resolution of political differences failed, and why the Good Friday Agreement (1998) ultimately succeeded. Students will explore the historical, political and cultural impacts on the local community and expressions in literature, film and art. The course will conclude with a simulation of a consensus-building debate and an examination of lessons learned that can provide guidance for global conflict resolution.
Prerequisite(s): CON 3**
