Middlebury Institute of International Studies presents a lecture by Michael Brillman entitled, The Troubles: Northern Ireland, 1968-1998, on Tuesday, April 24, 12pm-2pm in MIIS's McGowan Building, Room 102.

Professor Brillman will discuss the modernization of the Irish Republican Army and the subsequent Unionist paramilitary responses. A third portion will focus on responses to terror by the British state, namely the internment of IRA prisoners. The talk will end with the 1998 Good Friday Agreements and open the floor up for questions and a discussion of whether or not the Irish peace can last.
