'peace proposition' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'country and neighbouring province study' is the wordplay.
'country' becomes 'Eire' (Eire is an example).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'neighbouring province' becomes 'ni' (short for Northern Ireland, a province of the UK. I am not sure about the 'neighbouring' bit.).
'study' becomes 'con' (con can informally mean to study).
'eire'+'ni'+'con'='EIRENICON'
