Proceso de paz tras el Acuerdo de Belfast: coyuntura actual de los muros de paz en Irlanda del Norte
Abstract
The erection of peace walls in Northern Ireland between adjoining Catholic and Protestant neighbourhoods, a focus of conflict, increased after the Belfast Agreement (1998), which laid the foundations for the beginning of a peace process in the Ulster region. These infrastructures function as dividing and segregating lines between the groups involved and, at the same time, have played a central role in the maintenance of peace. Through the ethnographic method and in-depth analysis of other primary sources such as the Belfast Interface Project (2017) and Public Attitudes to Peace Walls (2020), the evolution of Peace lines in Northern Ireland since the Agreement and the perceptions of the population living close to these urban boundaries are examined.
