New territorial politics in Ireland and the United Kingdom, University College Dublin, 3 April 2002.This paper examines the extent and nature of institutional change arising from the Good Friday agreement in terms of the North-South dimension. The paper adopts an architectural analogy in its analysis of these developments, focusing on four main questions. What is the purpose of the institutional change? What has been the blueprint or plan for change? How has this blueprint been translated into reality? How has the emerging reality served the purpose for which it was established? The paper concludes with an analysis of the impact of institutional change in the all Ireland context after the Good Friday agreement on the character of state sovereignty.142568 bytesapplication/pdfenNorth-South RelationsInstitutionsSovereigntyNorthern Ireland--Relations--IrelandIreland--Relations--Northern IrelandSovereigntyNorthern Ireland--Politics and governmentIreland--Politics and governmentWorking Paperhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/1.0/
