Ethnonationalism and attitudes towards same-sex marriage and abortion in Northern Ireland
The issue of sexuality and human rights has generated increasing international attention in recent years. This is particularly the case in societies emerging from chronic ethnonationalist conflict, where scholarly debates on the impact of ethnonationalism on sexual rights, such as abortion and the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender people (LGBT), generate much controversy and division. It is with this disagreement in mind that this pap…
The Sociology of Everyday Life Peacebuilding
Female Party Attachment in a Power-Sharing Polity
Power-sharing hinges on cooperation between communal parties who are expected to mobilize citizens in support of the new political system. Women are often ill-served, however, and their political differences exacerbated by such arrangements. Mindful of this finding and using data from the 2015 Northern Ireland Election Survey, we examine differences in party attachment between Catholic and Protestant women. The results suggest that Catholic women…
Belonging without believing
Same-sex marriage has become a divisive issue in established western democracies. As in earlier research on abortion, there is now a growing body of studies which suggests that religious factors, such as identity, belief and practice, are the most frequent predictors of opposition towards gay marriage. Yet, what we know about the combined influence of these religious factors remains unexamined. Mindful of this omission, this study examines the re…
The Influence of Religion and Ethnonationalism on Public Attitudes towards Amnesty
The granting of amnesties has now become a cornerstone of peacebuilding efforts in societies emerging from conflict. Yet, the impact of the role of religion and ethnicity in determining attitudes towards such arrangements has not been empirically assessed. Mindful of this omission, this article investigates the relationship between a range of religious measures — religious practices and beliefs in and about God — and ethnonationalist identity on …
Religious Differences in Electoral Turnout among Women in Northern Ireland
It is now commonly accepted that democratic elections with increased female participation and representation is an essential element of peacebuilding in post-conflict societies. Yet, women are not a monolithic group and their needs are not homogeneous. This is especially the case in post-conflict societies marked by long-standing ethno-national antagonisms, where issues surrounding female unity and women’s political participation are often consid…
Ethnonationalism and attitudes towards gay and lesbian rights in Northern Ireland
Disputes over gay and lesbian rights occupy a central place on both national and international agendas in recent years. This is also the case in societies emerging from chronic ethnonational conflict where debates over gay and lesbian rights vs. ethnic‐based rights predominate. While much scholarly work focuses on the influence of socio‐demographic factors in determining attitudes toward gay and lesbian rights in postconflict societies, to date, …
Conflict to peace
Conflict to Peace
Theoretical and practical perspectives
This chapter examines the theories that have been advanced to explain the conflict and how they have been translated into the design of political institutions. It examines the development of the theory of consociationalism and how it has been woven into the intellectual debate about the nature of the Northern Ireland conflict. The chapter discusses the various attempts to construct institutions to resolve the conflict leading up to the 1998 Belfa…
Victimisation and Attitudes Towards Former Political Prisoners in Northern Ireland
The release of ex-combatants and the mechanisms for their re-integration within society has become an increasingly controversial issue in peace settlements. Yet to date, the view of victims concerning such arrangements in post-conflict societies remains unexplored. Mindful of this omission and using Northern Ireland as a case study, this article investigates the relationship between victimisation and attitudes towards the treatment of former poli…
Victimhood and Attitudes towards Dealing with the Legacy of a Violent Past
Research Highlights and Abstract Using Northern Ireland as a case study, this article provides the first nationally representative and systematic study of victims' views on how to deal with the past; Focusing specifically on Northern Ireland, it both investigates and provides a comprehensive account of the marked divisions between the various religious groupings—Protestants, Catholics and the non-affiliated—in terms of a range of truth recovery m…
Victims as moral beacons of humanitarianism in post-conflict societies
This paper reports on interview data amongst victims of conflict and organised violence. Despite their victimhood, they evince a level of forgivingness, civility and tolerance that constructs in the very acts of atrocity that portend its demise, a form of humanitarianism which enables victims to be moral beacons in post-conflict societies that otherwise are largely devoid of any a moral or sacred canopy. Data cover victims in Sri Lanka, South Afr…
Integrated Schooling and Religious Tolerance in Northern Ireland
The design of educational institutions has long been seen as a key element in determining social divisions. This article examines the long-term impact of separate and integrated education on relations between the two religious communities (Catholics and Protestants) in Northern Ireland. Using a large-scale survey, the results suggest that in comparison to their previously separate counterparts, individuals who attended an integrated school are mo…
Victimhood Status and Public Attitudes towards Post-conflict Agreements
The rights and needs of victims have become an increasingly controversial issue in post-conflict societies. Yet to date, the views of victims concerning the new political arrangements in post-conflict settlements remain unexplored. Mindful of this omission and using Northern Ireland as a case study, this article investigates the relationship between victimhood status and attitudes towards the new political arrangements of devolved government in N…
Gender and consociational power-sharing in Northern Ireland
Designing political arrangements is the most viable approach to resolving inter-communal divisions in post-conflict societies. Yet women are frequently ill-served by such peace settlements, since gender equality is often sacrificed in an effort to resolve conflicts over national identity. Northern Ireland is no exception to this trend. Although the 1998 Northern Ireland Agreement made specific provision for gender equality, it was primarily frame…
Post-conflict societies and the social sciences
This paper serves as the Editorial Introduction that heads the special issue on post-conflict societies in the social sciences and it reviews the growing literature on this topic. The field offers an interdisciplinary space not just for the various social sciences to interface, but for social science to encounter theology, philosophy and ethics. The field can be divided into three themes: the management of post-conflict emotions; transitional jus…
Victims as moral beacons
Victim’ and ‘perpetrator’ are problematic legal, moral and political categories, and public policies towards them are complicated by their contested status. This is particularly the case in Northern Ireland where conceptions of perpetrators and victims, including the right to the label ‘victim’, has caused much division and debate. Despite this controversy, to date previous research in relation to this issue has been extremely limited and this is…
Education as a mechanism for conflict resolution in Northern Ireland
How education systems operate in divided societies is an increasingly important question for academics and educational practitioners as well as for governments. The question is particularly pertinent in post‐conflict societies, where education is a key mechanism for resolving conflict between divided communities. Using Northern Ireland as a case study, this article sheds new light on the role of education in conflict resolution by examining the l…
Religion, identity and community relations among adults and young adults in Northern Ireland
While much has been written on national identity in Northern Ireland, the identity preferences of adults and the young have rarely been compared directly. This paper addresses this omission by examining the relationship between national identity and community relations within both the adult (aged 18 years and above) and the young adult (aged 16 years) population. This study used the 2006 Life and Times Survey, and the results show that the adopti…
Integrated Education, Intergroup Relations, and Political Identities in Northern Ireland
Education is often seen as a means of achieving social change. Underlying this view is contact theory, which argues that increased contact between social groups will help reduce prejudicial attitudes and alleviate racial and ethnic divisions. This article tests and extends these propositions by examining the long-term impact of segregated and integrated education on political identities and attitudes. Using a pooled sample of surveys conducted on…

The constitutional question
Sowing Dragon's Teeth
While much attention has been devoted to political efforts to solve the Northern Ireland problem, less attention has been given to the role of political violence in sustaining the conflict. We argue that one of the reasons for the intractability of the conflict is widespread exposure to political violence among the civil population. By 1998, thirty years after the conflict started, one in seven of the population reported being a victim of violenc…

Gender, Scientific Knowledge, and Attitudes toward the Environment
As of yet, relatively little information exists regarding gender differences in attitudes toward the environment. This is particularly the case when countries besides the United States and Canada are considered. Further-more, the information available has proved to be inclusive, with some studies indicating that men are more concerned about the environment than women, others indicating that women are more concerned but only in relation to a narro…
Political efficacy
Although political efficacy is a key concept in theories of political participation and democratic governance, different studies have conceptualised and operationalised efficacy in different ways. Using comparable survey data from the United States, West Germany, Great Britain and Australia, this study builds upon previous research in an attempt to clarify our understanding of the dimensions of political efficacy and their relationship to socio‐d…
Gender, Postmaterialism, and Feminism in Comparative Perspective
Value change and the feminist movement represent two major shifts in mass political orientations and behavior in the late twentieth century. Yet we know little about how these two fundamental changes relate to one another. This article addresses this question by analyzing the relationship between postmaterialist values and feminism among 13 advanced industrial democracies, using the 1990-91 World Values Survey. The results suggest that both gende…
Social Contact, Cultural Marginality or Economic Self-Interest? Attitudes Towards Immigrants in Northern Ireland
Although scholars of mass political behaviour have proposed various explanations for why an individual would oppose immigration, the relative impact of these various explanations has rarely been assessed. It is with this omission in mind that this study assesses empirically three alternative theories in explaining attitudes towards immigrants: the social contact hypothesis, cultural marginality and economic self-interest. Using the 2003 Northern …

Gender, Party Leaders, and Election Outcomes in Australia, Britain, and the United States
Election outcomes are now, more than at any time in the past, determined by voters' assessments of party leaders. However, despite its potential importance, little is known about the differences in how men and women view political leaders. This article uses recent Australian, British, and U.S. survey data to examine gender differences in the evaluations that voters make of party leaders. The results show that there are comparatively few gender di…

Who voted for peace? Public support for the 1998 Northern Ireland agreement
The April 1998 Good Friday Agreement represents the most promising attempt in 30 years to settle the Northern Ireland conflict. Yet for more than a year after it was ratified by an overwhelming majority of voters, its key principles remained unimplemented, and on two occasions the executive has been suspended. In this article we examine public support for the Agreement and analyse the patterns of voting in the referendum. Using the 1998 Northern …
Religious Identification and Moral Attitudes
British society is currently embroiled in a variety of controversial social issues. An identifiable set of these disputes concerning artificial insemination, AIDS victims homosexual rights, and pornography are all debated as moral issues. This study examines the impact of religious identification on public attitudes in relation to these moral issues. The results show a marked variation in patterns of religious identification and significant diffe…

Gender and Local Political Interest
Since the 1970s, political science research suggests no significant gender differences in overall levels of participation. For example, an examination of current rates of conventional political participation and voter turnout indicates little difference between men and women in either the United States, Great Britain, West Germany, Italy or other western industrial nations.1 Despite this disappearance of gender differences in political participat…
Public Support for Political Violence and Paramilitarism in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland
Most of the research on paramilitary activity in Northern Ireland has concentrated on either the historical origins of paramilitary organizations or the background characteristics of individuals who engage in this activity. Less attention has been given to analyzing public attitudes in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland toward the use of paramilitary violence as a political tool within this society. In this paper we argue that one …
Religion and Environmental Issues within Anglo-American Democracies
Conflict and Consensus
This study presents a detailed comparison of cultural values and attitudes in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. It is based on survey data covering the period from the 1970s to 2003 but focusing especially on the European Values Study (EVS) as fielded in the two parts of Ireland in 1999-2000. The study confirms the deep divisions in identity and political allegiance that separate the Catholic and Protestant communities in Northern Ire…
The Erosion of Consent
Consociational solutions to communal conflict depend crucially on the consent of the participants to the new institutional arrangements. The most recent attempt to solve the Northern Ireland conflict, the 1998 Good Friday/Belfast Agreement, initially attracted majority support from Protestants, but since then consent had steadily declined. All Protestant opponents of the Agreement share a strong underlying view that it unduly benefits nationalist…
Religious Independents within Western Industrialized Nations
As of yet, relatively little information exists within Western industrialized nations regarding religious independents, or individuals who claim no religious affiliation. This is particularly the case when countries besides the United States and Canada are considered. Mindful of this omission, this study uses recent nationally representative survey data to compare the religious convictions and socio-demographic background of religious independent…

The impact of class on political attitudes
This study examines the impact of class self‐identification and class position on political attitudes in Great Britain, West Germany, Australia and the United States. The results show a basic similarity in the class structure of these four western nations, differences in patterns of class identification, and significant effects of class structure and class identification on political attitudes. Despite recent projections of its demise, for these …
Female Intergenerational Occupational Mobility within Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland
Previous research on social mobility in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland has confined itself exclusively to the linkages between male occupational origins and destinations. In this paper, three unique aspects of the Irish occupational mobility experience is investigated. First, the question of women's intergenerational occupational mobility is considered for the first time. Second, as in some recent North American research, tradi…

Female Marital Mobility within Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland
A series of log-linear models predicting the exchange marital experiences of Irish wives are prevented for the Irish Republic. The best explanatory model is one in which the relationship between a husband's occupational status and that of his father-in-law remains homogeneous across age levels, Women show a marked propensity to marry husbands at a similar occupational status as that of their fathers and long-range upward or downward mobility acro…
Education and Marriage Patterns in Australia
A number of major studies of social stratification have been conducted since the Second World War. Focusing on societal openness, or equality of opportunity, these studies have ranged from investigations of individual status attainment and mobility processes to the analysis of class closure and class conflict among groups. What these studies have mostly in common, however, is that the form of stratification within which mobility or class closure …
Religious Identification and Marriage Patterns in Australia
This study analyzed religious marriage patterns among Australian couples. Results obtained by log-linear modeling techniques indicated that husbands and wives tend to choose conjugal partners with religious identifications, or non-identifications, identical to their own. Homogeneity along religious and non-religious lines is a characteristic feature of Australian marriage patterns. This pattern is strongest among Other Protestants, notably weaker…
Intergenerational Mobility in the Republic of Ireland
This article compares in regression models the effects of occupational status of both fathers and mothers simultaneously upon the attainment of men and women in the Irish Republic. The sample matches male respondents from the 1973/1974 Irish Mobility Study with the labour active female sibling next closest in age. Since the analysis compares working siblings and each ‘matched pair’ shares the same family origin characteristics, the problems atten…

Class Identification among Australian Couples
Marriage and Political Partisanship in Australia
One of the most contentious issues to emerge out of recent British political sociology is the problem of locating women in the political structure. Using recent Australian data, we examine the 'conventional', 'dominance', 'joint', 'cross-class', and 'individualistic' approaches to this problem of determining women's political identification. The results suggest that not only are a person's own characteristics important in determining their politi…
Occupational Homogamy Within Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland
Social mobility has long been viewed as an integrative mechanism for societies. For example, whereas earlier American researchers saw opportunities for social mobility as a vital factor in promoting political stability and the maximisation of equality of opportunity, more recent British sociologists have noted the role of social mobility in legitimising inequalities and impeding class formation and class action. Despite this stress on the importa…

Partisanship and political attitudes
While research analysts have devoted considerable attention to the gender gap in party identification and political behaviour, the question of a marriage gap in relation to political attitudes has received little empirical investigation. In an effort to remedy this situation, this paper focuses on marital differences in political values among Australian adults. The findings suggest that married and unmarried persons do differ in their political o…
The Silenced Voice
L'A. fait le constat selon lequel la sociologie de la mobilite n'a pris en compte pratiquement aucune dimension feminine. Elle s'est reduite a l'analyse de la mobilite des hommes, minorant ainsi le champ d'etude sociologique de la stratification sociale.

One Marriage — Two Divorces
This study examines the impact of gender on attitudes towards marriage and divorce in the United States, Great Britain, West Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Italy, and Ireland. The results suggest a basic similarity in attitudes across nations and gender differences only in relation to divorce attitudes. For these seven countries at least, while gender is an important factor in explaining attitudes towards divorce, it has no significant impact…
Political Attitudes and Partisanship Among Australian Couples
Over the past two decades, political analysts have devoted considerable attention to gender differences in political behavior and attitudes. Despite this increase in research activity, however, the contribution of married women in assessing these differences is rarely investigated. In an effort to remedy this situation, this paper focuses not only on the political attitudes of married couples, but also on the degree to which the social background…

Party Identification and Attitudes Towards Homosexuals in Great Britain
Legislative activity and controversy concerning the issue of homosexual rights and practices has intensified in Britain over the last decade. Despite this increase in intensity, however, the question of mass public opinion in relation to homosexual rights and practices has received little empirical investigation. In an effort to remedy this situation, this paper focuses on the influence of party identification in determining public attitudes towa…
Public Attitudes Towards Government Spending on Health Care
One of the most vigorously debated topics in the area of health care is the proportion of health care costs that should be borne by the government, rather than by the individual. Using nationally representative data, the views of Australian citizens on this issue are explored. The findings suggest that the majority of Australians favour increased spending on health by the government. Multiple regression analyses indicate that in addition to vario…

Politics and the Mass Media
Studies of the impact of mass media on political attitudes and behavior have generally concluded that the mass media do little more than reinforce prior preferences. These studies have painted a simplistic picture of how the mass media influences the electorate. Using the 1990 Australian National Election as a test case, results show that while the mass media have a significant impact on political attitudes and voting behavior, especially among r…
