Abstract
The texts published in February 1995 by the British and Irish governments, known as the Joint Framework Documents (although only one document was properly joint), are scrutinized in this article. The documents show the extent to which both governments have learned to manage and analyse the conflict as nationally driven. They also offer the most imaginative texts produced by liberal democratic sovereign governments negotiating the future of a bi‐ethnically disputed region. They are consistent with the logic of what the author calls a ‘double protection’ model. The suggested institutional architecture will be of interest to many other regions of the world torn by ethno‐national strife.
