Guilt, Suicide and The Bosnian War in Colin Barrett’s "Kindly Forget My Existence"
My essay will focus on the short story “Kindly Forget My Existence” from Colin Barrett’s collection Young Skins (2013). I will demonstrate that, unlike many contemporary Irish writers, Barrett’s depiction of the immigrant outsider—in this case a Bosnian bartender—avoids common stereotypes of representation. By juxtaposing the politics of the Bosnian War with the suicide of Maryanne, a woman once loved by both men in the story, Barrett invites a m…
The demands of substantive decolonisation
Although the impact Brexit might have on Ireland has generated a vast array of critical analyses, insufficient attention has been paid to this project as a question of justice or a matter of potential injustice. It is suggested here that the relative academic silence on this moral dimension of Brexit is connected to a widespread failure to connect theory and practice within the dominant approach to conceptualising the demands of justice both with…

Recognition Theory as Social Research
Presents the case for an exciting new research program in the social sciences based on the theory of recognition developed by Axel Honneth and others in recent years. The theory provides a frame for revealing new insights about conflicts and the potential of recognition theory to guide just resolutions of these conflicts is also explored

Introduction
This volume explores the various ways in which the nation-state as an organizational structure and nationalism as a motivating ideology are challenged by contemporary political realities, and how these challenges can be met. Nationalism has, of course, been a dominant political ideal for a very long time now. The received and still prevalent conceptualization of this ideal is that the state and the nation should cohere within a single, sovereign…
After the Nation?
Explores the ways in which the nation-state and nationalism are challenged by contemporary realities. This volume addresses changes to our understanding of national sovereignty, problems posed by viol
Struggles against injustice
This article investigates a significant problem in contemporary critical theory, namely its failure to address effectively the possibility that a campaign of political violence may be a legitimate means of fighting grave injustice. Having offered a working definition of ‘political violence’, I argue that critical theory should be focused on experiences of injustice rather than on ideals of justice. I then explore the reasons as to why, save for s…
Recognition and Redistribution in Theories of Justice Beyond the State
We consider here how cultural and socioeconomic dimensions of justice beyond the state are related. First we examine cosmopolitan theories that have drawn on John Rawls's egalitarian liberal framework to argue that a just global order requires substantive, transnational redistribution of material resources. We then assess the view, ironically put forward by Rawls himself, that this perspective is ethnocentric and insufficiently tolerant of non-li…

Critical Theory and Ethno‐National Conflict
This article assesses the peace process in Northern Ireland as a model of ethno‐national conflict resolution. It sets the argument in the context of some on‐going debates between advocates of the bi‐national, consociational features of the Belfast Agreement of 1998 and its integrationist critics (I). In order to avoid the danger of false analogy, the category of ethno‐national conflict is then placed in the broader context of ethnic politics (II)…
Critical Theory, Democratic Justice and Globalisation
One way of providing a focus for critical theory today is to articulate those substantive and robust norms of egalitarian justice that would appear to be presupposed by the idea of a republican and democratic constitutional order. It is suggested here that democratic justice requires the equalisation of effective communicative freedom among all structurally constituted social groups (SCSGs) and that this will have far-reaching implications that e…
Are Moderators Moderate
On the basis of an experiment we confirm the hypothesis – derived from the ‘anchoring and adjustment’ heuristic – that the difference that a moderator makes to the grade awarded by a first marker is less than the difference between the grades awarded by two independent (or ‘double-blind’) markers. We suggest that double-blind marking is therefore more objective and reliable than moderator-based marking, although the former clearly has significant…
Normative Theory and Constitutional Politics
Justice in Ethnically Diverse Societies
The article presents a normative principle of constitutional justice that acknowledges ethnocultural and ethnonational diversity by addressing the injustice of political alienation. It is suggested that this principle could be the subject of a methodological overlapping consensus among several comprehensive normative-theoretical frameworks that are influential in current debates. The main implication of the principle for ethnically diverse societ…
Are National Conflicts Reconcilable? Discourse Theory and Political Accommodation in Northern Ireland
Democratic Theory with Critical Intent
My critical assessment of competing views on the marching controversy at Drumcree is found wanting by Glen Newey for at least three reasons. The Habermasian approach I adopt is alleged to be motivationally deficient, politically ineffectual and blind to its own decisionistic partiality. Here I indicate that the force of Newey's critique is neutralised once one attends to the important differences between Habermas' moral theory and his discourse t…
Constitutional reason and political identity
This article presents a normative‐theoretical account of democratic legitimacy that meets the challenge of moral and cultural pluralism in a way that takes the avoidance of oppression and violence to be a fundamental imperative. The discourse‐theoretical perspective of jürgen Habermas reveals that reasoned agreement among citizens is the only alternative to political oppression. Pace Habermas, however, the legitimacy of even basic constitutional …
The Politics of Inclusive Agreements
This article offers a critical assessment of Jürgen Habermas's discourse theory of democracy. It suggests that the main thrust of a discursive account of legitimacy is the attempt to show how the demands of maximal democratic inclusion might be reconciled with a politics of reasoned agreements. While this aim is endorsed, the thrust of the argument is that a critical theory of democracy requires that normative frameworks that bring certain substa…

In the context of a new global order where the logic of the market reigns virtually unopposed, there is a clear need for original thinking that might reinvigorate a progressive political project. This

The idea of an overlapping consensus in northern Ireland
This article offers a theoretical perspective on the dispute about the constitutional status of Northern Ireland. It seeks to revise and adapt the framework of justice advanced in John Rawls's Political Liberalism so as to respond effectively to this particular conflict of identities. This necessitates two significant revisions to the structure of Rawls's theory. These revisions allow us to formulate a principle of justice that could, it is sugge…
Pluralist Justice and its Limits
This article is a philosophical critique of certain communitarian conceptions of justice. It focuses on the work of Michael Walzer who argues that justice reflects the shared understandings of particular historical communities. In assessing the implications of this view for a divided society such as Northern Ireland I wish to set limits to this pluralist notion of justice. In the later part of the article I turn to Jürgen Habermas's proceduralist…
