‘We are these Women …’: Self-Conscious Structures for a Women’s Centre
The story of Chrysalis Women’s Centre provides an account of women’s activism which might have been found in many parts of Northern Ireland in the 1980s and 1990s. As Chapter 1 of this book has indicated, during those years a vibrant network of working-class women’s groups was created. Women could be found working in diffuse networks of grass-roots campaigns and self-help or support groups, many which had been created to oppose or ameliorate the …
‘Equal in the Sight of the Lord’: A Religious Reconciliation Group
The Cornerstone Community is to be found on the upper Springfield Road, one of the main arteries that runs through West Belfast. This group of Christian men and women, whose primary aims are to work for and to act as a witness to reconciliation between Catholics and Protestants, selected this location after a great deal of thought. West Belfast is often described as a nationalist area, but although its population is predominantly Catholic, and it…
Democracy and the Challenge of Gender: New Visions, New Processes
Democracy has always been a contested concept, among theorists as well as practitioners. From being considered a dangerous means of introducing ‘mob rule’ it has become the political system which most states claim to have adopted (Arblaster 1994). Nevertheless, debates about the fundamental values of democratic politics and the best ways of expressing them in institutions continue to absorb the attention of politicians, activists and writers. Pol…

Inclusive Others: The Northern Ireland Women's Coalition in the Peace Process
STILL HOLDING OUR BREATH ... Several months after the signing of the Northern Ireland Peace Agreement, its endorsement in the historic referendums in both states and the successful election and opening of the new Assembly, the majority of citizens still do not seem disposed to celebrate. Arriving in Northern Ireland to oversee the final stages in the completion of the Northern Ireland Peace Agreement, Prime Minister Blair spoke of feeling 'the ha…
Gender, Nation, Class: The Politics of Difference in Northern Ireland
Politics in Northern Ireland appears to move endlessly in a vicious circle, with the conflicting and irreconcilable objectives of Irish nationalism and union with Britain providing the momentum. The battle between the forces committed to these objectives has held the centre of the political stage in this small region for most of the twentieth century, taking a particularly violent and apparently insoluble form in the past 28 years with the reviva…
Accentuating the national aspect: Social republicanism and the communist party of Ireland
The Communist Party of Ireland continues to survive against apparently overwhelming odds. While it has shown itself to be capable of adapting to changing political circumstances, the party's support has been declining in recent years. It has been, since 1970, committed to a socialist‐republican perspective on Ireland, and this may have contributed to its decline
