Abstract
İç ve dış aktörlerin etkili olduğu Kuzey İrlanda çatışması uluslararası ilişkilerin önemli etnik sorunlarındandır. Ulster Plantasyonu sonrasında gelen çoğunluğu Protestan olan yerleşimciler ile çoğunluğu Katolik olan yerli halk arasında toprak, kaynak, güç mücadelesi çatışmanın başlangıcını oluşturmuştur. Uzun yıllar Birlikçiler ve Cumhuriyetçiler arasında devam eden çatışmada Belfast antlaşmasıyla birlikte görece başarılı olan uzlaşma süreci başlamıştır. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın amacı uzlaşı ve güç paylaşımı üzerinde yoğunlaşan çatışma çözüm yöntemlerinden ortaklıkçı modelin Kuzey İrlanda çatışmasında ne ölçüde uygulanabildiğini analiz etmektir. Sonuç olarak çalışmada Kuzey İrlanda’da ortaklıkçı modelin uygulanmasıyla tarafların güç paylaşımı esasıyla siyasi temsilde yer alması ve beraberinde ekonomik, siyasi, sosyal anlamda kazanımlar elde etmesi nedeniyle göreceli başarılı bir uygulama olduğu bulgularına ulaşılmıştır.

Abstract
The Northern Ireland conflict is one of the important ethnic problems of international relations whereby internal and external actors have been of influence. The struggle for land, resources and power between mostly Protestant settlers who settled after the Ulster Plantation, and the native population who were mainly Catholic, constituted the beginning of the conflict. The conflict between the Unionists and Republicans had been on-going for many years, but with the Belfast agreement a relatively successful reconciliation process commenced. It is within this context that the study aims to analyse the extent to which the consociational model; a means of conflict resolution adopted in Northern Ireland which focuses on conciliation and power-showering was successfully applied. The findings of the study indicate that the said model has been applied relatively successfully, as the parties have had political, social and economic gain as a result of political representation, dervied from the sharing of power.
