Peace by procedure
Purpose This paper aims to examine how Irish and British civil servants contributed to structuring the political and procedural conditions for peacebuilding in Northern Ireland. It asks what kind of governance architecture enabled compromise across conflict lines and who was responsible for its design and operation. The article conceptualises these officials as metagovernors – actors who shape the frameworks through which governance occurs – in a…
The Super Six Ideas Shaping Evaluation in Australia
Over the past decade, evaluation practice in Australia has evolved in response to shifting social, political and cultural contexts. Drawing on ten years of Australian Evaluation Society (AES) publications, submissions, thought pieces and key government strategy documents, this article synthesises patterns in evaluation discourse and practice and identifies six influential ideas shaping the field. These ideas are grouped into three themes: People …
Removing the Basis of the Historic Conflict? The Downing Street Declaration and the Contested Role of European Integration in the Northern Ireland Peace Process
This article examines the section on European integration in the Joint Declaration by British Prime Minister John Major and his Irish counterpart Taoiseach Albert Reynolds in 1993. The Joint Declaration, also known as the ‘Downing Street Declaration’, was a pivotal moment in the Northern Ireland peace process. Using archival material and witness interviews, this article tracks the development of the text on Europe over time, revealing a negotiati…
Volunteer motivation in a CITiZAN community archaeology project at Sandwich Bay, Kent
Volunteer participation produces an invaluable wealth of support and data for the coastal and estuarine archaeology of the UK, which may otherwise go unrecorded, but what drives volunteers to conduct this work? Our paper aims to identify volunteer motivation for participating in fieldwork at Sandwich Bay, Kent, in February 2022, run by the Coastal and Intertidal Zone Archaeological Network (CITiZAN). Adopting methods within rapid ethnographic ass…
Encountering research in Northern Ireland
As Northern Ireland marks 25 years since the Good Friday Agreement was signed, the political afterlife of the conflict persists in affecting the everyday lives of communities, kept alive through individual and institutional memories and stories. With state archives continuing to be released and living actors in the conflict still available to interview, they offer opportunities and challenges for researchers trying to understand the Troubles to n…
What’s the Craic? Humour and negotiations during the Northern Ireland peace process
Sarcastic remarks and hilarious gestures were evident throughout the Northern Ireland peace process. However, was there anything behind this? Why were these humourous remarks being made? What role did humour have in communicating throughout the Northern Ireland peace process? This article argues that humour played a role in the Northern Ireland peace process in four primary ways, in (i) initiating contacts and meetings, (ii) developing relationsh…

Rapid evaluation of Covid-19 related service and practice changes in health and human services using tailored methods
The COVID-19 pandemic required substantive delivery and practice changes for government services under tight timeframes and high public scrutiny. These urgently implemented service changes provided the opportunity for evaluators to support decision-makers to understand the impact of adaptations for those delivering and receiving health and human services. Tailored rapid evaluation methods (REM) provide a pragmatic approach to generating timely in…
Counterterrorism and just intelligence, an oxymoron? The ethical analysis of internment without trial in Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland is used as a case study internationally, from how to deal with terrorism to initiating peace processes. Internment was the first state action of the Troubles that was conducted throughout the whole of Northern Ireland. The general consensus surrounding internment is that it was a failure. But, was it ethical? Were there some "good" elements to internment? What specific parts of internment should the UK tell other states to avoid?…
Using rapid evaluation methods to assess service delivery changes
The COVID-19 pandemic required large-scale service delivery changes for government, and provided the opportunity for evaluators to step up and support decision makers to understand the impact of these changes. Rapid evaluation methods (REM) provide a pragmatic approach for generating timely information for evidence-based policy and decision-making. Grounded in developmental and utilisation-focused evaluation theory, REM incorporates a team-based,…
Critical appraisal of the establishment of a theory-informed evaluation capacity building function in a large government department
Evaluation Capacity Building (ECB) is a critical function that can increase uptake, quality and impact of evaluation activity in large organisations. This article describes how ECB theory has been applied in the design and implementation of foundational evaluation training in a large state government department. Appraisal of the first three years (2018–21) establishing the training component of the capacity building function is explored, in light…
Holey Goats
Supratrochlear foramina (STF) were recorded in fifteen per cent of goat and sheep/goat humeri from the New Kingdom pharaonic town of Amara West, in modern northern Sudan. To the authors’ knowledge, this trait has never before been reported in the published literature for goats or sheep, whether from archaeological or modern contexts. The aim of this work is twofold: to contribute to the growing corpus of studies addressing the incidence and aetio…
Theology and Butterflies
This article is a theological reflection based on personal experience of ministry in an urban church during a very difficult time. Key themes are about the implications of incarnational ministry, and about the searching for hope and meaning by local people as well as the "professionals
