Organic Intellectuals and the New Loyalism: Re‐Inventing Protestant Working‐Class Politics in Northern Ireland
New loyalism is an effort to reinterpret the loyalist tradition through a more class‐based focus. The current study examines the work of community activists in Belfast to promote a new loyalist politics and to organize members of the Protestant working class into a self‐conscious political force.

The study first lists the weapons contracts that would be lost to the state in the event of a freeze. The impact of these losses is then examined through the use of an input-output model of the state's economy. The results indicate a disruptive effect not only on military manufacturing but…
