Download or read book Inequality in Northern Ireland written by David John Smith and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A common view among members of the ruling group in Belfast and London is that, after the reforms of the 1970s, the public services and the main social and economic institutions in Nothern Ireland are as fair as they can be in a divided society; and that any remaining inequality between Protestants and Catholics is a reflection of historic discrimination which has now been put right. In this benchmark study, David Smith and Gerald Chambers assemble a wide range of statistical material that emphatically contradicts this view of Northern Ireland's fair and equitable society. Examing the extent of inequality between Protestants and Catholics in all areas of daily life, the authors show how far inequalities can be explained by factors other than discrimination. They also show how people perceive inequality and discrimination and how important they think these issues are. This penetrating study will be of interest to teachers and students of politics, sociology, law, social policy, as well as journalists and political commentators.

Download or read book Power Politics and Territory in the New Northern Ireland written by Elizabeth DeYoung and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2023-10-15 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of the Good Friday Agreement, the redevelopment of the former Girdwood Army Barracks in North Belfast was hailed as a ‘symbol of hope’ for Northern Ireland. It was a major investment in a former conflict zone and an internationally significant peacebuilding project. Instead of adhering to the tenets of the Agreement, sectarianism dominated the regeneration agenda. Throughout the process, politicians, community groups and paramilitaries wrangled over the site’s future, and territorial contest won out over housing need. After eleven years of negotiation and £11.7 million, the EU-funded Girdwood Community Hub opened its doors to the public in 2016, but its impact has been underwhelming. The Hub’s redevelopment is a microcosm of the peace process itself, and the ways in which post-Agreement politics have failed to deliver a ‘shared future’ for the people of Northern Ireland, twenty-five years on. This ethnography provides a lively account of Girdwood’s redevelopment and a wry critique of the fractious political context around it. Through flânerie and encounter, the author brings us across peace walls, into community meetings and behind the scenes of decision-making in Northern Ireland. Girdwood’s story also sheds light on how power, politics and territory intersect in divided cities globally.
Download or read book Consociational Theory written by Rupert Taylor and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-03-20 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consociational power sharing is increasingly gaining ground, right around the world, as a means for resolving political conflict in divided societies. In this volume, edited by Rupert Taylor, nineteen internationally-respected scholars engage in a lively debate about the merits of the theory underlying this approach. The volume focuses specifically on one of the leading cases under the global spotlight, the Northern Ireland conflict, and brings together the most prominent proponents and opponents of consociationalism. Northern Ireland’s transition from war to peace is seen by consociationalists as flowing from the historic Belfast Agreement of 1998, and specifically from the Agreement’s consociational framework. The Northern Ireland case is marketed by consociationalists as representing best practice, and as providing a template for ending conflicts in other parts of the world. However, as this volume interrogates, on what grounds, and to what extent, can such a positive reading be upheld? Taken as a whole, this volume, structured as a symposium around the highly-influential argument of John McGarry and Brendan O’Leary, offers comparative, engaging, and critical insight into how political theory can contribute to the creation of a better world. Consociational Theory is an important text for anyone with an interest in political theory, conflict resolution in divided societies, or Irish politics.

Download or read book Ireland Colonialism and the Unfinished Revolution written by Robbie McVeigh and published by Haymarket Books. This book was released on 2023-11-14 with total page 813 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking examination of the colonial legacy and future of Ireland, showing how Ireland’s story is linked to and informs anti-imperialism around the world. Colonialism is at the heart of making sense of Irish history and contemporary politics across the island of Ireland. And as Robbie McVeigh and Bill Rolston argue, Ireland’s experience is central to understanding the history of colonization and anti-colonial politics throughout the world. Part history, part analysis, Ireland, Colonialism, and the Unfinished Revolution charts the centuries of Irish colonial history, from England’s proto-imperial engagement with Ireland in 1155 to the Union in 1801, and the subsequent struggles for Irish independence and the legacies of partition from 1921. A century later, the plate tectonics of Irishness are shifting once again. The Union is in crisis and alternatives to partition are being seriously considered outside the Republican tradition for the first time in generations. These significant structural changes suggest that the coming times might finally see the completion of the decolonization project – the finishing of the revolution. In the words of the revolutionary Pádraig Pearse: Anois ar theacht an tSamhraidh – now the summer is coming.

Download or read book Reflections on Architecture Society and Politics written by Graham Cairns and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflections on Architecture, Society and Politics brings together a series of thirteen interview-articles by Graham Cairns in collaboration with some of the most prominent polemic thinkers and critical practitioners from the fields of architecture and the social sciences, including Noam Chomsky, Peggy Deamer, Robert A.M. Stern, Daniel Libeskind and Kenneth Frampton. Each chapter explores the relationship between architecture and socio-political issues through discussion of architectural theories and projects, citing specific issues and themes that have led to, and will shape, the various aspects of the current and future built environment. Ranging from Chomsky’s examination of the US–Mexico border as the architecture of oppression to Robert A.M. Stern’s defence of projects for the Disney corporation and George W. Bush, this book places politics at the center of issues within contemporary architecture.

As such, this handbook will be an important reference source for university libraries, professional associations, and policy entities.
