To hold (or not) a referendum is undoubtedly one of the most consequential decisions in peace mediations. Amaral provides an extremely well-researched and theoretically nuanced analysis of peace referendums in Northern Ireland and Cyprus. The book sheds light to the merits and pitfalls of direct democracy in conflict-ridden and deeply divided societies and identifies the best practices for mediators to adjust their strategies and address the challenges of public consultation in contested peace processes.--Neophytos Loizides Professor in International Conflict Analysis, University of Kent Amaral's work is rich with information on the negotiation and referendum processes in Cyprus and Northern Ireland, a topic that would be of interest to policy and decision makers, scholars of political science and international relations, and readers interested in conflict resolution and peacebuilding. --Ahmet S zen chair, Department of Political Science and International Relations, Eastern Mediterranean University, Famagusta, Cyprus
