Abstract

Examines the main features of Northern Ireland's model of indirect rule between 2017 and 2020. Reviews the operation of direct rule between 1972 and 2007, the emergence of indirect rule, and its key characteristics, including governance by civil servants. Discusses the end of indirect rule, why direct rule did not replace it, the constitutional problems of the indirect approach, and whether it could have been more democratically acceptable.
