Taking Back Control’, the UK’s Constitutional Narrative and Schrodinger’s Devolution
The UK’s decision to leave the European Union in 2016 threatens to open up a range of territorial management issues that have long remained unexplored. Since 1999, the UK’s devolution settlements have allowed divergent constitutional narratives to develop and to co-exist. This ‘constructive ambiguity’ has led UK territorial governance to take the form of ‘Schrodinger’s devolution’, where Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have and have not expe…
Northern Ireland and Brexit
For those who spoke on behalf of Leave voters, the result on 23 June 2016 meant the people of the United Kingdom were taking back ‘control’ or getting their ‘own country back’. However, two parts of the United Kingdom did not vote Leave: Scotland and Northern Ireland. Here, the significant counterpoint to ‘taking back control is “waking up in a different country”’, and this sentiment has unique political gravity. Its unique gravity involves two d…
The Conservative Party and Ulster Unionism
This article engages with the perennial matter of the relationship between ideas and interests in British party politics, in particular that relationship within Conservative and Unionist politics. After a preliminary consideration of the contemporary understanding of ideology as complex and fluid rather than fixed and settled, the article examines a way of capturing paradoxical aspects of ideological thinking—that it is self-chosen or the result …
Multi-Level Governance and Northern Ireland
This book examines the governance arrangements in Northern Ireland through a multi-level lens, particularly in the period since the new institutions established through the 1998 Agreement became more
Beyond the walls
Since the first paramilitary ceasefires in 1994, the Northern Ireland peace and political processes have addressed a series of sensitive and contentious issues synonymous with the conflict, such as policing, prisoner releases, decommissioning and power sharing. However, one issue that has been absent from these transformative processes has been that of the peace walls, which were first constructed by the British Army in 1969 as a military respons…
The Berlin walls of Belfast
Freedom, Peace and Politics
Intimately throughout the 1970s, and in a more detached way for the rest of his life, Bernard Crick thought seriously about the politics of Northern Ireland. Though he produced no systematic study of the Northern Ireland Question, and though at first glance Northern Ireland appeared to be unpropitious territory for the author of In Defence of Politics , his reflections illuminated a deep concern with the relationship between politics, freedom and…
Introduction
In a world that is increasingly dominated by literary hyperbole there can be no doubt that Bernard Crick's In Defence of Politics remains a classic text. Classic not just in the sense that it provides a masterly account of the essence, meaning and fragility of democratic politics but classic in the sense that it is written with a style, verve and passion that is rarely found within political science. If the test of pretensions to ‘a classic’ stat…
Political reverberations
After years of violence, which resulted in the deaths of more than 3600 people, the Good Friday/Belfast Agreement was signed in 1998 between the British and Irish governments and endorsed by the ma
The Anglo‐Irish Agreement
This article examines the surprisingly muted commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the Anglo‐Irish Agreement. It was surprising because not only was the Agreement a major innovation in relations between the two states but it was also the defining political issue in Northern Ireland for almost a decade. It is argued that the significance of the Agreement has been diminished because of retrospective narratives which serve the political convenien…
The ‘Us’ in Trust
This article examines levels of interest and trust among the public in relation to Northern Ireland's newly established political institutions and actors, through an analysis of the results of the 2007 Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey (NILT). It is important to reveal the specific groups of people with the highest levels of political disenchantment, particularly in the context of the longer-term stability of the Northern Ireland Assembly an…
Making it Matter
This article considers the introduction of an Audience Response System (ARS), with a first year politics class at the University of Ulster, to encourage student interactivity and participation via innovative teaching and learning technologies. Four key student-centred benefits are identified: increased student engagement, increased motivation and attendance, a progressive learning experience, and opportunities for self-reflection. Amid the concer…
Introduction
Ethnic Outbidding and Party Modernization
This article considers the phenomena of intra-group ethnic outbidding and party political modernization during peacemaking processes in civil war situations. At first glance, ethnic outbidding may seem unconnected with ‘modern’ political parties that function—as their modernity suggests—without recourse to ethnic exclusivity. This article makes the case that the two processes can operate in tandem. It begins by presenting an original conceptualiz…
Conceptualizing Political Leadership in Peace Processes
Reviewing the literature has the potential to be both complex and nuanced, not least because this topic straddles the confines of more than one academic discipline. On one hand sits the subject area of leadership studies, which itself is multidisciplinary in nature. 1 However, political leadership can be considered as a sub section of the more broadly based subject area and for the purposes of this book the emphasis here has been concerned with p…
The Role of Political Leadership
Some aspects of the Northern Ireland peace process have been likened to a theatrical metaphor. In using such an analogy, it is possible to view the political leaders as the ‘cast’ in the production. This ‘cast’ included the leading actors and actresses, support actors and actresses and a chorus line. The role of the ‘cast’ in a theatrical production is usually threefold: to narrate the story, to captivate the audience and convince the audience of…
The Capacity of Political Leadership
The roles of political leadership during the Northern Ireland peace process were inextricably linked to the leaderships’ potential capacity to fulfil their roles. While an examination of the roles of political leaders focused on a variety of actions and activities expected of them, any examination of their capacity must then focus on their ability and aptitude to deliver on the same. Thus, the purpose of this particular chapter on understanding t…
The Limitations of Role, Capacity and Effect
In summary thus far, the purpose of this book has been to analyse more systematically the phenomenon of political leadership during the peace process in Northern Ireland using three interconnected foci — that of the role, capacity and effect of political leadership. Beginning at a very general level, it has sought to both explain and define the nature of political leadership during the period between 1994 and 1998 in Northern Ireland, as perceive…
Conclusion
One of the more memorable images from the day that the Good Friday Agreement was signed was when the leadership of the Women’s Coalition, on the steps of Castle Buildings, threw their negotiating papers high into the air to the delight of the international media assembled there, in a scene similar to students throwing their mortar boards into the air for graduation photographs. The symbolism suggested that the political leaders finally graduated …
Explaining Political Leadership in Northern Ireland
The phenomenon of political leadership in Northern Ireland during the peace process presents something of a problem in terms of academic research. It would be untrue to suggest that political leaders have been ignored, and have been reduced to mere footnotes in history. The plethora of authorized and unauthorized biographies and autobiographies serve as illustration of the point. However, it would be equally untrue to suggest that such material s…
The Effect of Political Leaders on Other Political Leaders
An anecdote is often told of a group of political leaders from Northern Ireland, standing together in a conference room in South Africa. A smaller number of these leaders are huddled together, making polite small talk as they wait for their hosts to arrive. They stand beneath a ceiling fan which has seen better days. It seems loose, as if it is ready to fall. Rather worriedly, one leader comments that it might fall down and hit them. Another resp…
Political Leadership and the Northern Ireland Peace Process
By providing a critical interpretation of political leadership during the Northern Ireland peace process, Gormley-Heenan shows the 'leadership lens' offers insights not offered by conventional analyse
Chameleonic Leadership
This article argues that the interpretations of political leadership in peace processes offered by both the political leadership literature and the peace and conflict studies literature, to date, are often inappropriate in the context of Northern Ireland. It contends that an alternative interpretation of political leadership during the Northern Ireland peace process is critical to the development of any future analyses of that process, and also t…
Abdicated and Assumed Responsibilities? the Multiple Roles of Political Leadership During the Northern Ireland Peace Process
Challenging some of the existing analyses on the role of political leadership during peace processes, this article argues that it is more important to emphasise the multiplicity of roles that a leader is likely to undertake during a peace process rather than focus on any primary role. However, the article further argues that in the context of Northern Ireland the multiplicity of roles led to a degree of role confusion and role conflict among the …
