    The European Dimension of the ‘talks process’ in Northern Ireland

To discuss the European dimension of the peace talks, I am joined by Dr Giada Lagana, a Leverhulme Postdoctoral Fellow and a Lecturer in Politics in the Department of Politics and International Relations at Cardiff University in Wales.
