Public Perceptions of What Qualifies as Terrorism Across Similar Countries with Diverse Terrorism Experiences
Norway, Sweden and Iceland are neighboring countries that have diverse experiences with terrorism. A right-wing extremist used explosives and guns to kill scores of Norwegians and an Islamic fundamentalist used a truck as a weapon to kill Swedes. Meanwhile, Icelanders have not experienced terrorism at all. What role, if any, do these experiences have in what the public defines as terrorism? Drawing on theories that emphasize similarities in media…
The growing prominence of deliberative mini-publics and their impact on democratic government
In the opening lines of Ruling the Void Peter Mair states that ‘[t]he age of party democracy has passed’. In his eyes political parties are failing and with them democracy itself. This paper addresses Mair’s concerns about the state of democracy. We review the latest evidence on how democracies have been innovating over the past twenty years or more, with particular attention to reforms that seek to bring citizens into the heart of discussions ab…
At the table
Since the We the Citizens project of 2011, Ireland has begun to establish itself as a world leader in the use of national deliberative fora for considering policy change. In many ways, it marks a radical departure from the tightly-controlled, executive-dominated parliamentary politics of Dáil Éireann. Thus far, innovative deliberative processes have had a direct influence on two hugely transformative moral/social referendums: the marriage equalit…
Determinants of support for directly-elected mayors in Ireland
In May 2019, three Irish local authorities ran plebiscites alongside their local elections: Cork City Council, Limerick City and County Council, and Waterford City and County Council. The plebiscites were run to judge support for Government proposals to introduce a reformed, directly-elected mayoral office. The results were, in some ways, the worst possible from a Government perspective: a mix. While voters in Limerick backed the plan by a slight…
Irish General Election 2020
Ireland’s General Election in February 2020 broke new ground from the moment it was called: it was the first to take place on a Saturday since the elections that led to the creation of the First Dáil over 100 years before. As in 1918, 2020 saw a decline in public trust of conservative parties, the rise of a more populist and radical force calling itself Sinn Féin, and the sidelining of the Labour Party.Unlike the 1918 election, it failed to produ…
The abortion referendum of 2018 and a timeline of abortion politics in Ireland to date
In 2018, Ireland voted to remove its constitutional ban on abortion in almost all circumstances. This overturned a previous decision by referendum to institute such a ban in 1983. The scale of the change in Irish society that this vote has displayed is significant, representing an even further shift towards a more socially liberal outlook than that seen in the marriage referendum of 2015. As with the previous referendum, this referendum is also o…
Roundtable
Museo del Oro
In January 2011, we summoned in Colombia an international group of scholars/activists to discuss the complexities of the relationship between archaeology, "illicit" excavations, museums, and indigenous peoples from a comparative gaze. The three-day workshop took place in Bogotá and Villa de Leyva. One of the events we set up during the Bogotá's leg of the workshop was a visit to the Museo del Oro. In the museum's cafeteria, we talked about what w…

In the past decade, anthropologists have reevaluated what they have taken for granted about the process of mestizaje and the meaning of mestizo identities in diverse Latin American countries Comparisons between such processes and identities in Latin versus North America have been lacking, which has tended to obscure the ways that nationalist ideologies have produced and naturalized such identities, and, moreover, how anthropology itself has prove…

Post-Sandinista Ethnic Identities in Western Nicaragua
The meanings of the ethnic labels Indian and mestizo in Latin America are often treated as stable, bounded, and clearly marked by anthropologists, nationalists, and indigenous intellectuals alike. In Nicaragua, the post-Sandinista emergence of a discourse of indigenous identity in the western region, where successive state elites have considered that identity erased, underscores the dynamic mutability of both indigenous and mestizo ethnicities. T…
