N2  - This paper examines two major events in the history of the Northern Ireland conflict, Bloody Sunday and the hunger strikes, in order to explore the specific and often contradictory dynamics of violence and nonviolence. Whereas Bloody Sunday transformed nonviolent into violent resistance, the hunger strikes undermined the IRA's violent campaign. Thus, nonviolent resistance became the first step towards a successful settlement of the Northern Irish conflict.<p />
