Indigenous engagement in oilfield remediation
Trust and mutual understanding are critical to meaningful engagement in natural resource development projects, yet a lack of intercultural competency, trust, and culturally appropriate methods continues to limit effective engagement with Indigenous communities in northern Canada. This paper responds to the need for a greater understanding of how community engagement processes include Indigenous perspectives in Northern Canada particularly in recl…
A Grand Strategic Error’
President George W. Bush required only symbolic British participation in the invasion of Iraq, so why did the Labour government deploy their maximum military effort when this was unnecessary and considerably increased the political risk to Prime Minister Tony Blair? The Chilcot Report (2016) provides considerable evidence of the military elite’s role, in pursuit of their perceived organisational interests, not only lobbying but also manipulating …
Striving to Facilitate the Achievement of the Pira's Aims”? The Labour Government, the Army and the Crisis of the British State over Northern Ireland 1972–76
This article argues that there was a crisis within the British state over policy towards Northern Ireland (1972–76). The Conservative then Labour government pursued a broadly bipartisan and conciliatory policy, culminating in the failed powersharing experiment (1974). By contrast, the New Right within the Conservative Party but also powerful elements in the Army and Intelligence Services, the Royal Ulster Constabulary and Unionism opposed concili…
Power Sharing in Deeply Divided Societies
Consociationalists have claimed nearly 50 successful cases of conflict management. This article argues that Classic Consociationalism has been constantly revised so that the theory has become ambiguous, incoherent, and even contradictory. Consociationalists have entered Wonderland in the sense that their theory now appears to be anything that they want it to be. Paradoxically, theoretical incoherence has made Consociationalism academically powerf…
Negotiating the Good Friday Agreement and Ending the Ukraine War
This article argues that an understanding of the successful process which led to the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement (GFA) provides a useful context for understanding the constraints and opportunities for peace making in Ukraine. In Northern Ireland political actors took a pragmatic Realist approach to negotiations using a range of political skills, including manipulation and deception, to bring various contrasting and often antagonistic audiences …
The Road to Hell is Paved with Good Intentions”
Since the end of the Cold War “New Cosmopolitans” have justified the renaissance of “righteous war” by providing cosmopolitan, humanitarian, human rights and even pacifist justifications for military intervention. This article is a critique of “New Cosmopolitanism” and the transition some on the Left have made from pacifism and peace activism in the 1980s to advocacy of military intervention to prevent “genocide” in the post-Cold War period. The …
Recent Trends in Heat-Related Mortality in the United States
Much research has shown a general decrease in the negative health response to extreme heat events in recent decades. With a society that is growing older, and a climate that is warming, whether this trend can continue is an open question. Using eight additional years of mortality data, we extend our previous research to explore trends in heat-related mortality across the United States. For the period 1975–2018, we examined the mortality associate…
Power‐Sharing in Deeply Divided Societies
Consociationalists have traditionally embraced sectarian authoritarianism combined with a very limited form of democracy as the only democratic way of managing plural conflicts. New Generation consociationalists, by contrast, believe their theory is compatible with opposing sectarian authoritarianism in places like Iraq and the Lebanon. Traditional consociationalists have tended to claim that all power‐sharing is consociational, whereas revisioni…
Frock Coats against Brass Hats? Politicians, the Military and the War in Afghanistan 2001–2014
The ‘Dominant Military Narrative’ (DMN) on the Iraq and Afghan wars defends the effectiveness of the British military and its use of force by deflecting responsibility for failure onto the politicians and ‘Whitehall’. The politicians are blamed for over-stretching the military by fighting two wars, resulting in a shortage of equipment, inadequate troop numbers and without a clear ‘Strategic Narrative’. This article critiques the DMN and provides …
Seasonal Variations in Temperature–Suicide Associations across South Korea
South Korea has among the highest rates of suicide in the world, and previous research suggests that suicide frequency increases with anomalously high temperatures, possibly as a result of increased sunshine. However, it is unclear whether this temperature–suicide association exists throughout the entire year. Using distributed lag nonlinear modeling, which effectively controls for nonlinear and delayed effects, we examine temperature–suicide ass…
Endless wars of altruism’? Human rights, humanitarianism and the Syrian war
This article argues that Liberal Hawks have used a Human Rights-based narrative to legitimise war in the post-Cold War era. Liberal Hawks in the UK and the USA have allied with Neoconservatives to form a powerful coalition to advocate for ‘humanitarian intervention’ to ‘protect human rights’ and ‘prevent genocide’. A particular interpretation of a human rights-based approach has been used to justify war by presenting these rights as natural, abso…
Spatiotemporal trends in human vulnerability and adaptation to heat across the United States
Perspectives on the Synoptic Climate Classification and its Role in Interdisciplinary Research
Synoptic climatology has a long history of research where weather data are aggregated and composited to gain a better understanding of atmospheric effects on non-atmospheric variables. This has resulted in an applied scientific discipline that yields methods and tools designed for applications across disciplinary boundaries. The spatial synoptic classification (SSC) is an example of such a tool that helps researchers bridge methodological gaps be…
War, counterinsurgency and the power of the generals
The invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan have led to the rejuvenation of counterinsurgency (COIN) theory. The “conventional” attacks soon turned into insurgencies which US forces initially countered t

There is Nothing Politically Right that is Morally Wrong’? Beyond Realism and Idealism in the Northern Ireland Peace Process
Deception has played an important role in advancing the Northern Ireland peace process. This article discusses the morality of British Prime Minister Tony Blair's deception to secure a ‘Yes’ vote during the referendum campaign on the Good Friday Agreement 1998. The British Prime Minister misled Northern Irish public opinion by stating that the IRA would have to decommission before either republican prisoners were released or Sinn Féin entered gov…
Was the IRA Defeated? Neo-Conservative Propaganda as History
‘Orthodox Neoconservatives’ have attempted to claim that the ‘dirty war’ was responsible for the defeat of the IRA in order to establish the general lesson that ‘terrorists’ should only be spoken to once they have been defeated. Bew and Frampton, however, have attempted to advocate this ‘Orthodox Neoconservatism’ while straddling two other contradictory strands of neo-conservatism (‘Anti-peace process unionism’ and the ‘Trimbleistas’) which has l…
In Defence of Politics
The interpretation of the Northern Ireland peace process is highly controversial because it not only has implications for the future of Northern Ireland but ‘lessons’ are also drawn for dealing with terrorism and insurgency globally. This article reviews and critiques key interpretations of the peace process. ‘The Militarists’, Republican Dissidents and Neoconservatives, offer a ‘fundamentalist idealist’ interpretation which leads them to reject …

Guns First, Talks Later
The Northern Ireland peace process emerged from ‘behind the scenes’ when contacts between the British government and Sinn Féin were revealed in November 1993. On 31st August 1994, the Irish Republican Army (IRA) declared a ceasefire and in April 1998 the Good Friday Agreement achieved a power-sharing accommodation based on the moderate political parties. By 2003, the hardline Democratic Unionist Party was electorally dominant among unionists and …

Machado de Assis, the "Defunto Autor" and the Death of the Author
Apesar do surgimento de importantes teorias, nos últimos 80 anos, afirmando a “morte” ou pelo menos a irrelevância do autor nos estudos literários, o interesse da crítica em compreender o homem Machado de Assis sempre foi urgente.

Climate-Suicide Relationships
Many locations on Earth experience peaks in suicide rates during the late spring and early summer, and there is evidence that climatic variables may be causal factors. Beyond this seasonal characteristic, there is little consistency in the results of various climate-suicide studies. Almost all of the published climate-suicide research has been conducted by mental health experts with relatively little input from geographers and/or climatologists, …
Peter Hain, Secretary of State for Northern Ireland
In this article, it is argued that Peter Hain is the most partisan Secretary of State for Northern Ireland appointed since the post was established in 1972. Peter Hain’s attitude towards Northern Ireland has echoed that of Sinn Fein’s republicanism. He has been active on Irish issues since 1972 and since at least the mid‐1970s up until the mid‐1990s he was a consistent supporter and campaigner for ‘British’ withdrawal from Northern Ireland. Peter…
Why the Good Friday Agreement in Northern Ireland Is Not Consociational
Segregationists and integrationists both support the power-sharing, Good Friday Agreement (1998) in Northern Ireland but for very different reasons. Consociationalists are segregationists who support the Good Friday Agreement (GFA) because they believe that conflict is best managed through the segregation of the communal groups and their consolidation into the pillars on which elites can build a settlement. Integrationists, on the other hand, sup…
British Policy towards Northern Ireland 1969–2000
This article argues that British power in Northern Ireland has been subject to considerable constraints throughout the conflict and its policy has been marked more by continuity than is usually acknowledged. The survival of bipartisanship is an indication that such constraints affect governments of both major parties and result in a tendency towards continuity in government policy between the parties. There have been changes and short-term shifts…
Consociationalism and the Northern Ireland peace process
This article argues that the slippery or elastic definition of consociationalism has allowed consociationalists to claim as a supporting case any conflict which appears to be moving towards resolution. The Northern Ireland case study illustrates how in 1991 leading consociationalists found ‘the glass half empty’ in Northern Ireland; conditions were not conducive to consociationalism. By 1996, however, there were claims that ‘recent events in Nort…

This article considers whether NATO won the war in Kosovo by spin, tricking Milosevic into believing that a ground invasion was imminent. It argues that during the conflict over Kosovo the propaganda war for public opinion was perceived by British and US governments as vitally important. NATO elites attempted to address (at least) eleven different audiences with a message appropriate to each. The two key audiences were, first, NATO public opinion…
