Keeping the faith, or old wine in new bottles? The Republican Network for Unity and the dilemmas of dissident Irish republicanism
Who Blinked First? Debating the Origins of the Northern Irish Peace Process
On 31 August 1994, the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) announced a ceasefire. Over the previous two-and-a-half decades, it had waged western Europe’s most lethal and enduring insurgency, claiming the lives of over 1,700 people. The IRA’s ‘armed struggle’ had been a key driver of ‘the Troubles’ that beset Northern Ireland; its decision to end the campaign of violence was likewise integral to an emergent peace process. Almost from the momen…
A neglected turning-point? The 1985 Northern Irish local elections and the transformation of Irish republicanism
So, what is terrorism
The Moral Parameters of Violence
Over three decades, the Provisional Irish Republican Army waged a campaign of violence that claimed the lives of some two thousand people. This article explores the moral framework by which the IRA sought to legitimate its campaign—how it was derived and how it functioned. On the one hand, the IRA relied on a legalist set of political principles, grounded in a particular reading of Irish history. An interlinked, yet discrete strand of legitimatio…

Reading the Runes? The United States and the Muslim Brotherhood as Seen Through the Wikileaks Cables
The aftermath of Hosni Mubarak's forced abdication as president of Egypt in 2011 brought the culmination of a long-running debate over whether Western governments should engage with the Muslim Brotherhood. At the heart of that debate was the question of how to judge the Brothers: as ‘moderates’ with whom the US might do business, or as part of a movement ultimately hostile to American interests. As this article demonstrates, the idea of engaging …
Don't mention the war!’ Debating Notion of a ‘Stalemate’ in Northern Ireland (and a Response to Dr Paul Dixon)
The Northern Ireland peace process is often celebrated as a model for conflict resolution, yet our understanding of exactly what occurred is still only at a formative stage. Many details, particularly concerning the counter-terrorist operations of the British government, remain buried within official archives, available only up until 1981. Some aspects of that campaign—variously called an ‘intelligence’, ‘secret’ or ‘dirty’ war—may never be uncov…
Debating the ‘Stalemate’
This article responds to the critique of our work offered by Paul Dixon in this issue of Political Quarterly . We correct the numerous inaccuracies and straightforward errors in his work, which, in our view, distort and misrepresent our arguments
Dissident Irish Republican Violence
This article considers the resurgence in dissident Irish republican violent activity in the years since 2007. It examines the reasons why this has occurred, citing the significance of ‘intra’ republican political developments, alongside important ‘secondary’ factors, such as the death of influential republicans Brendan Hughes and Brian Keenan. It concludes by noting that the dissident threat seems likely to exist for the foreseeable future, but a…
Embuscades et agents secrets
Les révélations récentes sur l’infiltration d’agents britanniques dans l’Armée républicaine irlandaise (IRA) imposent de réexaminer les raisons qui ont poussé cette organisation à proclamer le cessez-le-feu de 1994. Si les dirigeants républicains ont pris cette décision, ce n’est pas par suite d’une situation de blocage militaire sans vainqueur ni vaincu comme on le dit souvent, mais parce qu’ils avaient compris que l’IRA avait perdu. La guerre d…
Sinn Féin and the European Arena
In 2004 Sinn F6in succeeded in getting its first MEPs elected to the European parliament, with victories in both Northern Ireland (Bairbre de Brnin) and the Republic of Ireland (Mary Lou McDonald) alike. Standing on a platform of 'critical but constructive engagement' with Europe, the successful candidates were representatives of a party that has significantly modified its policy on Europe over the last three decades. At the time of its creation,…
Squaring the circle
The international profile that Sinn Féin has acquired is perhaps unparalleled in Ireland. The party has actively sought and developed this role for itself, both because of the material and political benefits that could be won and because its leaders were predisposed to see events in Ireland in a global context. These twin driving impulses, however, have not necessarily produced a logical and congruous foreign policy. On the contrary, the party ha…
