Understanding today's ‘shifting political sands’ in Northern Ireland through the history of the notion of consent
This article examines the impact of Brexit on devolution in Northern Ireland by tracing the historical evolution of consent as a key constitutional principle. It argues that today’s ‘shifting political sands’ stem not only from changing public opinion, but from long-term transformations in how consent has been defined, legitimised, and exercised. The study shows that consent has moved through distinct phases: from parliamentary control (1921–49) …
Civil Liberties, Citizens’ Rights or Human Rights? A Historical Perspective on Rights in Northern Ireland
Considering that rights have a history, this article looks back at the circumstances in which the terminology and practice of human rights, inspired by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, were introduced in Northern Ireland in the 1960s. The starting point is the reference, found in a primary source dating from 1969, to the possibility of drafting a Human Rights Bill for Northern Ireland based on international models. Drawing on the author…
When Citizens’ Grievances Entered the Policy Agenda, 1963-1969
This article analyses how citizens’ grievances entered the policy agenda in the years mounting to 1969 in Northern Ireland. At that critical juncture, a disparate group composed of individuals, organisations and members of the Opposition in the Parliament of Northern Ireland were pushing for comprehensive reforms in the field of civil rights. Their efforts contributed to bringing the question of citizens’ grievances into the realm of public polic…
“You just went out and talked to them.” An Interview with Maurice Hayes (1927-2017) on the Work of the Northern Ireland Community Relations Commission (1969-1975)
This article reflects on the practice of reusing past interviews in order to improve our knowledge of historical events. It focuses on the period of the early years of the Troubles in Northern Ireland and draws on Martin J. McCleery’s recent work on internment (2015) to stress the importance of personal testimonies in reassessing the historical impact of micro-events and / or local events on people’s lives. By revisiting an interview with Maurice…
Path dependency in policy-making in Northern Ireland
This article analyses how community relations (CR) policies were devised in 1969 in Northern Ireland and how they evolved in the first two years. Based on Greener's theory of path dependency in policy-making, the author contends that the decisions made in that period were part of a ‘creation phase’. Then, the circumstances of the year 1971 caused a ‘lock-in’ which set out preferred CR approaches. More alternative strategies were simultaneously lo…
Building Peace in Northern Ireland
Since the onset of the troubles in the late 1960s, people in Northern Ireland have been working together to bring about a peaceful, non-violent end to the conflict. In doing so, they have used their efforts as a means to support the transition to a post-conflict society in the wake of the ceasefires and the Good Friday Agreement. This collection is the first to examine the different forms of peace and reconciliation work that have taken place. It…
