The importance of this topic was highlighted by revelations in 2003 and 2005 concerning two senior republicans who had both been working for British intelligence for decades. The uncovering of these two senior spies created intense debate within the media and Irish republican community as to whether the IRA ended its military campaign largely because of significant infiltration. Yet, surprisingly, there has been no dedicated academic study of the impact of informers and agents upon the IRA. A few academics have briefly considered this topic in recent monographs and journal articles. Whilst acknowledging other important factors, they argue that intelligence successes against the IRA played a crucial role in influencing that organization to end its military campaign in 1998. This first in-depth study of the influence of informers and agents on IRA and British strategies during the Troubles cross-references new extensive interview material alongside memoirs from various Troubles participants. Its central argument is that the elusive nature of many rural IRA units, its cellular structure in Belfast, and the isolation of the IRA leadership prevented the organization from being damaged to any considerable extent by spies. In fact, the IRA’s resilience was a key factor encouraging the British government to try to include republicans in political settlements in 1972, 1975 and the 1990s. The IRA’s military strength also points towards the prominence of political factors in persuading republicans to call a ceasefire by 1994. The role of spies in Northern Ireland and the circumstances in which the state permitted negotiations with the IRA are key considerations for those interested in other small-scale conflicts. 2 Contents Acknowledgements: p.4.

Some obvious examples are the ‘small wars’ that marked the demise of British colonial rule during the 1950s. Christopher Andrew’s recent history of MI5 reveals that, during the British campaign in Cyprus in the late 1950s, some captured Greek-Cypriot EOKA1 insurgents and local Turkish-Cypriot civilians worked for British intelligence. Their information enabled British security forces to capture and kill a number of leading EOKA rebels. Amongst other factors, Andrew believes that this ‘intelligence-led’ effort against EOKA enabled the British government to avoid capitulating to EOKA demands for unity with Greece, and to create a political compromise between Greek and Turkish Cypriots. Earlier, during the Malayan Emergency between 1948 and 1960, Andrew believes a coordinated intelligence effort between the local Special Branch and MI5 helped ensure that the communist insurgents did not win.2 Elsewhere, in his detailed and insightful study of British counter-insurgency efforts in Kenya during the 1950s, Huw Bennett describes how a combination of techniques, including ‘screening’ villages where the Mau Mau were believed to be hiding and amnesties for some Mau Mau prisoners, enabled British intelligence to gain informers within the movement. Bennett’s account contains numerous examples of informers damaging the Mau Mau insurgency.3 By the time that British troops arrived in Northern Ireland in 1969, it can be no surprise that informers and agents again formed a crucial part of an intelligence-led strategy against the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA). Like EOKA, the IRA was an underground organization hiding within specific host communities. British forces once more required insiders either from within the paramilitary group, or the community where the paramilitaries operated, in order to disrupt the insurgency. The IRA were fully aware of the threat posed by informers and agents. ‘[T]he greatest weapon England has’, they declared in their newspaper An Phoblacht in 1974, ‘is that of the informer. Without [them] it is possible that the people of Ireland would have had full control over their country a long time ago’.4 A brief survey of previous conflicts between Irish republicans and the British state shows that there is some truth in this claim. For instance, informers hindered the United Irishmen rebellion under Wolfe Tone 1 Greek acronym meaning the National Organization of Cypriot Fighters. 2 Christopher Andrew, The Defence of the Realm: The Authorised History

  • A Comparative Study of Extremism Within Nationalist Movements
    A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF EXTREMISM WITHIN NATIONALIST MOVEMENTS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM AND SPAIN by Ashton Croft Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Departmental Honors in the Department of History Texas Christian University Fort Worth, Texas 22 April 2019 Croft 1 A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF EXTREMISM WITHIN NATIONALIST MOVEMENTS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM AND SPAIN Project Approved: Supervising Professor: William Meier, Ph.D. Department of History Jodi Campbell, Ph.D. Department of History Eric Cox, Ph.D. Department of Political Science Croft 2 ABSTRACT Nationalism in nations without statehood is common throughout history, although what nationalism leads to differs. In the cases of the United Kingdom and Spain, these effects ranged in various forms from extremism to cultural movements. In this paper, I will examine the effects of extremists within the nationalism movement and their overall effects on societies and the imagined communities within the respective states. I will also compare the actions of extremist factions, such as the Irish Republican Army (IRA), the Basque Euskadi Ta Askatasuna (ETA), and the Scottish National Liberation Army (SNLA), and examine what strategies worked for the various nationalist movements at what points, as well as how the movements connected their motives and actions to historical memory. Many of the groups appealed to a wider “imagined community” based on constructing a shared history of nationhood. For example, violence was most effective when it directly targeted oppressors, but it did not work when civilians were harmed. Additionally, organizations that tied rhetoric and acts back to actual histories of oppression or of autonomy tended to garner more widespread support than others.

Adopted in 1998, the Good Friday Agreement has managed to curb hostilities, though sporadic violence still occurs and antagonism remains pervasive between many Nationalists and Unionists. Strong political bargaining through back-channel negotiations and facilitation from international and third-party interlocutors all contributed to what is today referred to as Northern Ireland’s peace process and the resulting Good Friday Agreement. Although the Northern Ireland peace process and the Good Friday Agreement are often touted as a model of conflict resolution for other intractable conflicts in the world, the implementation of the Agreement has proven to be challenging.

Conclusion Bibliography Introduction Northern Ireland conflict, called “the Troubles” was the most durable conflict in the Europe since WW2. Before War in Donbass (2014-present), which lead to 9,371 death up to June 3, 20161 it also can be called the bloodiest conflict, but unfortunately The Donbass War snatched from The Troubles “the victory palm” of this dreadful competition. The importance of this issue, however, is still essential and vital because of challenges Europe experience now. Both proxy war on Donbass and recent terrorist attacks had strained significantly the political atmosphere in Europe, showing that Europe is not safe anymore. In this conditions, it is necessary for us to try to assume, how far this insecurity and tensions might go and will the circumstances and the challenges of a international relations ignite the conflict in Northern Ireland again. It also makes sense for us to recognize that the Troubles was also a proxy war to a certain degree 23 Sources, used in this essay are mostly mass-media articles, human rights observers’ and international organizations reports, and surveys made by political scientists on this issue.

This Memorial Quilt Project does not claim to represent the totality of lives lost across Great Britain and The Republic of Ireland but rather seeks to provide some understanding of the sacrifices paid by communities, families and individuals who have been victimised by ‘Republican’ or ‘Loyalist’ terrorism. SEFF’s ethos means that we are not purely concerned with victims/survivors who live within south Fermanagh or indeed the broader County.
