An elusive agenda

Any potential resolution to the conflict in Northern Ireland depends on the deconstruction of the stereotypical ethnic distinction between Catholic/Nationalist/ Republican and Protestant/Unionist/British and associated notions of zero‐sum territorialty. This paper discusses some of the evidence for more diverse, pluralist and inclusive conceptualizations of identity, which might be reflected in accommodationist political alignments. Particular attention is given to the influence of class and to the fracturing of identity into its constituents of political allegiance, citizenship, cultural or ethnic nationalism and constitutional preference, all of which are not necessarily expressed coherently or consistently within any one individual's socio‐political behaviour. The paper concludes that there are indications–albeit very diverse–of accommodationism, but that these are not yet reflected in any coherent political form
