Rethinking Peacebuilding Strategies With Deliberative Ideals: Horizontal and/or Vertical Approaches
Many peacebuilding approaches strongly focus on vertical or ‘top-down’ processes instigated by states and international actors. At the same time, theoretical critiques and new empirical research highlight the importance of horizontal or ‘bottom-up’ processes involving cooperation at grassroots levels for sustainable peacebuilding measures. These questions are particularly pertinent for this Special Issue which addresses sustainable peacebuilding …
Youth repertoires and cosmopolitan horizons in deeply divided contexts
This article explores how young people reimagine social relations and negotiate difference within a deeply divided context in a period of increasing national contention. It explores if and how they combine an ethno-national situatedness and wider shared horizons. It uses a 'situated cosmopolitan' frame as a heuristic and shows how the case illustrates the difficulty of this stance. The article reports on research that engaged with 52 young partic…
Remedying Horizontal Inequality: The Changing Impact of Reform in Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland is a case that lets us explore how people respond when deep‐set horizontal inequality is substantively reduced. This article focusses on the reform of horizontal inequality in the cultural sphere and argues that it is likely to be contentious because units and measures are directly related to conflicting constructs of group identity, meaning, and value, and intertwined with conflict over state legitimacy. Northern Ireland shows w…
Does identity change matter? Everyday agency, moral authority and generational cascades in the transformation of groupness after conflict
Everyday identity change is common after conflict, as people attempt to move away from oppositional group relations and closed group boundaries. This article asks how it scales up and out to impact these group relations and boundaries, and what stops this? Theoretically, the article focusses on complex oppositional configurations of groupness, where relationality and feedback mechanisms (rather than more easily measured variables) are crucial to …
Scaling up from everyday concerns to territorial politics and constitutional debate: Deliberation among women in the Irish border area
A gulf between constitutional and everyday perspectives is prevalent, and often overlain by gender divisions. To explore how this gulf can be bridged to allow for the inclusion of everyday concerns in constitutional discussion, we engaged with women in the Irish border area, a region where constitutional difference has striking effects in daily life. We held a series of small-scale deliberative cafs on cross-border health provision, which is link…
Obstacles to constitutional participation: Lessons from diverse voices in post-Brexit Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland
A challenge for constitutional processes is to facilitate popular participation, including among marginalised groups. Uneven inclusion is highly likely ‘upstream’, in the early stages when ground rules and foundational principles guiding constitutional change are fleshed out, and particularly so in deeply divided societies. This article explores the obstacles to such inclusion in constitutional discussion in Northern Ireland and the Republic of I…

Constitutional inclusion in divided societies: Conceptual choices, practical dilemmas and the contribution of the grassroots in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland
Processes of constitutional discussion increasingly invite widespread popular inclusion and participation. Conceptual and practical problems remain, not least the respects in which inclusion is to take place. In deeply divided places, these challenges are intensified, first in the difficulties of conceptualising inclusion, and second in the practical dangers participation may pose to peace. We tackle these problems empirically by looking at a har…
M argaret M. S cull . The Catholic Church and the Northern Ireland Troubles, 1968–1998
Margaret M. Scull’s The Catholic Church and the Northern Ireland Troubles, 1968–1998 is an account of the Catholic Church’s role in the Northern Ireland conflict in the three decades from the first civil rights marches in 1968 to the Good Friday Agreement of 1998. It focuses on the church’s political interventions and mediation of violent conflict. Scull does an excellent job, using available church, personal, and national archives, interviewing …
How moderates make boundaries after protracted conflict. Everyday universalists, agonists, transformists and cosmopolitans in contemporary Northern Ireland
This article explores how boundary making proceeds after protracted conflict has ended. Drawing on an interview and focus group study in two local areas in Northern Ireland, we identify the diverse forms of everyday boundary work amongst moderates who distance from the ethno-political blocs: everyday universalism, agonism, transformation and cosmopolitanism. Each overcomes closed exclusivist boundaries and identity oppositions, thus providing a c…

Protestant Identity and Peace in Northern Ireland
Graham Spencer has written a straightforward book about Protestants and Protestantism in Northern Ireland, looking for what is common to all Protestants and taking what Protestant clergy say about their church as evidence. The book is based on roughly fifty interviews with Protestant pastors and nine interviews with Catholic priests. There is no methodological discussion about the sampling process or form of the interviews, how the extracts quote…
The Real Peace Process: Worship, Politics and the End of Sectarianism
This is a book about conflict and peace in Northern Ireland and about how the churches and worship practices reflect, feed into, and can perhaps change everyday sectarian divisions. Siobhán Garrigan's interest and focus is on practices of worship in Protestant and Catholic churches in Ireland. She has written a detailed critical study based on extensive primary research (mostly participant observation, church attendance, and talking to people abo…
Ethnicity and Religion: Redefining the Research Agenda
This article maps some of the effects when ethnicity and religion overlap. Sometimes one category, with its related values and solidarity, is prioritized; this is expressed in the common view that religion is subsumed in ethnicity, and religious labels become markers of ethnic groups. Sometimes the effects are additive, each source of distinction and group solidarity strengthening the other. Sometimes there are interactive effects, with dynamic a…
Symbolic Complexity and Political Division: The Changing Role of Religion in Northern Ireland
Religious distinctions, ethnic oppositions and national differences intersect in Northern Ireland. This essay explores how this symbolic complexity has fed political conflict. It is argued that the institutional structure of Northern Ireland encouraged the generalization of religiously informed values across the fields of ethnicity and politics, which in turn fed back to tighten and constrain available religious repertoires. The recent process of…
