Book Synopsis World Opinion and the Northern Ireland Peace Process by : Frank Louis Rusciano
Download or read book World Opinion and the Northern Ireland Peace Process written by Frank Louis Rusciano and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-16 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uniquely combines global opinion theory with the English school of international relations to explain the effects of world opinion on the Northern Ireland peace process. It begins by analyzing the reasons why the civil rights movement imported from the United States ended in the Troubles. It traces how national identity now arises in Northern Ireland as a negotiation between the area’s international image and its citizens’ national consciousness. Rusciano illustrates how world opinion affects patterns of speech and silencing, and the effect this has on the peace process. He also shows how those negotiating the peace were affected by world opinion. Finally, the volume concludes by describing a possible path toward completing the peace process consistent with world opinion.

Book Synopsis Human Rights as War by Other Means by : Jennifer Curtis
Download or read book Human Rights as War by Other Means written by Jennifer Curtis and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2014-08-04 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the 1998 peace agreement in Northern Ireland, political violence has dramatically declined and the region has been promoted as a model for peacemaking. Human rights discourse has played an ongoing role in the process but not simply as the means to promote peace. The language can also become a weapon as it is appropriated and adapted by different interest groups to pursue social, economic, and political objectives. Indeed, as violence still periodically breaks out and some ethnocommunal and class-based divisions have deepened, it is clear that the progression from human rights violations to human rights protections is neither inevitable nor smooth. Human Rights as War by Other Means traces the use of rights discourse in Northern Ireland's politics from the local civil rights campaigns of the 1960s to present-day activism for truth recovery and LGBT equality. Combining firsthand ethnographic reportage with historical research, Jennifer Curtis analyzes how rights discourse came to permeate grassroots politics and activism, how it transformed those politics, and how rights discourse was in turn transformed. This ethnographic history foregrounds the stories of ordinary people in Northern Ireland who embraced different rights politics and laws to conduct, conclude, and, in some ways, continue the conflict—a complex portrait that challenges the dominant postconflict narrative of political and social abuses vanquished by a collective commitment to human rights. As Curtis demonstrates, failure to critique the appropriation of rights discourse in the peace process perpetuates perilous conditions for a fragile peace and generates flawed prescriptions for other conflicts.

Download or read book People Power? written by Feargal Cochrane and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many books have been written about the political conflict that has beset Northern Ireland. There is a natural tendency in politics to look at political leaders, governments, and high-ranking officials and their interactions. Less emphasis is placed on non-governmental organizations, community groups and members of civil society and the contribution they have made to political progress. This book seeks to redress that imbalance by looking at the contribution made by such civil society organizations to the peace process in Northern Ireland. Specifically, the authors critically examine the evolution, roles and impact of the non-governmental organization (NGO) sector and its work with particular emphasis on peace/conflict resolution organizations that operate within the region. With a fresh perspective on the dynamics behind the peace process in Northern Ireland, " People Power" provides a bridge between the activities of the political elites and the communities out of which the political class have been forged.
Book Synopsis The Northern Ireland Peace Process by : Paul Dixon
Download or read book The Northern Ireland Peace Process written by Paul Dixon and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-01-30 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative volume presents a new framework that captures the complex and contradictory politics of peacemaking in Northern Ireland. Engaging with key debates between nationalists and unionists, and consociationalists and civil society advocates of conflict resolution, this book uses a theatrical metaphor to illuminate the constraints and opportunities facing key political actors in their attempt to bridge the gap between nationalists and unionists to sign and then attempt to sustain the Good Friday Agreement. This new study also examines the range of political skills deployed by politicians involved in the Northern Ireland, South African and Middle East peace processes in their attempts to manipulate the public, front stage presentation of the peace process and maximize the support of diverse audiences for it. The Northern Ireland Peace Process will be of particular interest to students and researchers in the fields of politics, Irish studies, conflict studies and political communication.

Book Synopsis The European Union and the Northern Ireland Peace Process by : Giada Lagana
Download or read book The European Union and the Northern Ireland Peace Process written by Giada Lagana and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2021-11-10 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the economic and political contributions of the EU to the Northern Ireland peace process, tracing the genesis of EU involvement since 1979 and analysing how it acted as an arena in which to foster dialogue and positive cooperation. Based on extensive archival research and exclusive elite interviews this volume provides the first comprehensive study of how the EU contributed to the reconfiguration of Northern Ireland from a site of conflict to a site of conflict amelioration and peace-building. The book demonstrates that the relationship between Northern Ireland and the EU has been much more significant in the peace process than previously suggested.
Book Synopsis The Troubles in Northern Ireland and theories of social movements by : Gianluca De Fazio
Download or read book The Troubles in Northern Ireland and theories of social movements written by Gianluca De Fazio and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2017-07-14 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume seeks to move beyond structure and agency perspectives by suggesting that social movement theories are best suited to foster a perspective that entails 1) an actor-based approach to the Troubles; and 2) the contextualization of contentious politics, or how the contingent and ever-evolving political contexts/opportunities/threats shaped the trajectory of the Troubles. Recent social movement scholarship has proved to be particularly useful in situating the emergence, continuation, and demise of political violence within a larger context of multiple conflicts, in which radical contention is only one possible outcome. Social movement theories also avoid the essentialization of political groups as 'radical' or 'violent'; instead, they place all political actors participating to contention, from paramilitaries to state authorities, within their complex organizational fields, emphasizing their shifting strategies as they interact with each other and adapt to the political context.
