Conflict & Change members Kit Rickard and Kristin M. Bakke wrote a commentary piece for The Conversation, discussing the UK government's recent claims about wanting to "amend" the Good Friday Agreement. They argued that, "whether the Good Friday Agreement needs amending is not a question that ought to be driven by the British government’s Brexit strategy. Our research shows that this is a question that should be driven from the bottom up, by the needs and concerns of the population in Northern Ireland."
