The Troubles With Brexit

Brexit, the Good Friday Agreement, and the future of peace in Northern Ireland. After 40 years of conflict in Northern Ireland, the Good Friday agreement ushered in a period of relative peace and stability in the northwest corner of Europe. But the unintended consequences of the UK leaving the European Union have threatened to reignite a sectarian fire that many thought had been extinguished long ago.
