Some contradictions of the welfare state
It is now 40 years since the publication of Claus Offe's classical paper, Some Contradictions of the Modern Welfare State . Much change has occurred to the form and content of welfare states over the intervening years, yet in addition to change, continuities are very much evident, and it is this constellation of developments – alongside anniversarial convenience – which has motivated a re-examination of Offe's seminal work on the contradictions o…
The South of Ireland during the interregnum
Political life in the Irish state has been transformed following the economic and social convulsions of the Global Financial Crash (GFC) of 2008. Political power has been substantially redistributed, politico-ideological contest has re-opened, and the very nature and boundaries of the state itself have been thrown into question due to Brexit-inspired change in the North of Ireland and Britain. Yet despite this unprecedented challenge to their pol…
The Irish general election of 2024
The 2024 Irish general election had shaped to be the most consequential in the history of the Irish state. Much was at stake, as the previous general election had witnessed the left-wing, anti-partitionist Sinn Féin party take a plurality of first-preference votes and left-wing parties securing a historically unprecedented number of Dáil (parliamentary) seats. The subsequent years witnessed Sinn Féin soar in popularity, followed by an equally dra…
Interrogating the Interregnum
Of the various theoretical concepts utilised to understand our current global conjuncture, one, Antonio Gramsci's interregnum, has increasingly breached both academic and popular consciousness. The evocative power of Gramsci's century-old analysis whereby the dying out of an existing order bears witness to a variety of morbid symptoms seems to speak to our own era in which systemic morbidities are overt and omnipotent. Yet despite a flourishing l…
A contribution to the critique of Irish sociology
Irish society is situated within a period of epoch-defining social change. We are facing in to a short number of decades, which promise the significant re-shaping of the political and social contours of our nation. Irish sociology's disciplinary mandate is to analyse that change, yet a historical debate has found new expression – heightened by the 30 th anniversary of the Irish Journal of Sociology (IJS) and the 50 th anniversary of the formation…
The Forthcoming General Election in the Republic of Ireland
The forthcoming general election will be the most consequential electoral contest for the Republic of Ireland in a century. The polity is situated in truly novel territory with the potential for an historic first: the incoming of a Sinn Féin‐led, left‐wing government. Any such government would portend change in the North of Ireland, symbolising a critical juncture on the path towards the ending of partition. Analysing electoral and ideological sh…
The north of Ireland during the interregnum
The North of Ireland was induced in to existence over a century ago, yet the polity lacked societal-wide legitimacy. The outbreak of conflict in 1968 signalled the beginning of an interregnal period in which the old order was substantially challenged. Whilst the Good Friday Agreement was idealised as an end to this interregnum, Brexit has re-opened the battle for politico-ideological supremacy. This paper traces the contours of the hegemony-seeki…
From Constructive Ambiguities to Structural Contradictions
The Good Friday Agreement contained a series of constructive ambiguities which were critical to ensuring that it received broad cross-political support. These ambiguities were reflective of the balance of political power of the time. Once institutionalized, they contained an immanent potential to morph in to structural contradictions as the re-balancing of demographic and political power in Ireland moved from latent to manifest status. As the Agr…
What’s in a name? Applying the syndemic perspective to Covid-19 in Ireland
The term pandemic, pro-offers a vision of COVID-19 abstracted from its social, economic, and political context, suggesting a socially neutral phenomena framed within a medicalised discourse. An etymological and theoretical re-conceptualisation of COVID-19 as a syndemic re-situates the virus within these contexts, allowing an interrogation of the oft-stated claim, discussed in this journal (Nolan, 2020) that ‘we are all in this together’ and a dee…
