Conclusion Bibliography Introduction Northern Ireland conflict, called “the Troubles” was the most durable conflict in the Europe since WW2. Before War in Donbass (2014-present), which lead to 9,371 death up to June 3, 20161 it also can be called the bloodiest conflict, but unfortunately The Donbass War snatched from The Troubles “the victory palm” of this dreadful competition. The importance of this issue, however, is still essential and vital because of challenges Europe experience now. Both proxy war on Donbass and recent terrorist attacks had strained significantly the political atmosphere in Europe, showing that Europe is not safe anymore. In this conditions, it is necessary for us to try to assume, how far this insecurity and tensions might go and will the circumstances and the challenges of a international relations ignite the conflict in Northern Ireland again. It also makes sense for us to recognize that the Troubles was also a proxy war to a certain degree 23 Sources, used in this essay are mostly mass-media articles, human rights observers’ and international organizations reports, and surveys made by political scientists on this issue.

    global history of the present Series editor | Nicholas Guyatt In the Global History of the Present series, historians address the upheavals in world history since 1989, as we have lurched from the Cold War to the War on Terror. Each book considers the unique story of an individual country or region, refuting grandiose claims of ‘the end of history’, and linking local narratives to international developments. Lively and accessible, these books are ideal introductions to the contemporary politics and history of a diverse range of countries. By bringing a historical perspective to recent debates and events, from democracy and terrorism to nationalism and globalization, the series challenges assumptions about the past and the present.

  • The Geopolitics of Laïcité in a Multicultural Age: French Secularism, Educational Policy and the Spatial Management of Difference
    The Geopolitics of Laïcité in a Multicultural Age: French Secularism, Educational Policy and the Spatial Management of Difference Christopher A. Lizotte A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2017 Reading Committee: Katharyne Mitchell, Chair Victoria Lawson Michael Brown Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Geography ©Copyright 2017 Christopher A. Lizotte University of Washington Abstract The Geopolitics of Laïcité in a Multicultural Age: French Secularism, Educational Policy and the Spatial Management of Difference Christopher A. Lizotte Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Katharyne Mitchell Geography I examine a package of educational reforms enacted following the January 2015 attacks in and around Paris, most notably directed at the offices of the satirical publication Charlie Hebdo. These interventions, known collectively as the “Great Mobilization for the Republic’s Values”, represent the latest in a string of educational attempts meant to reinvigorate a sense of national pride among immigrant-descended youth – especially Muslim – in France’s unique form of state secularism, laïcité. While ostensibly meant to apply equally across the nationalized French school system, in practice La Grande Mobilisation has been largely enacted in schools located in urban spaces of racialized difference thought to be “at risk” of anti-republican behavior. Through my work, I show that practitioners exercise their own power by subverting and adapting geopolitical discourses running through educational laïcité – notably global security, women’s rights, and communalism – are nuanced by school-based practitioners, who interpret state directives in the light of their institutional knowledge and responsiveness to the social and economic profiles of their student populations.

Subscribe to the Irish News NewsoftheIrish The IRA bombing at a Remembrance Day commemoration in the Co Fermanagh town of Enniskillen 20 years ago this week killed 11 people, injured 63 and repulsed the world.

The bombing is believed to be one of the watershed incidents of the Troubles largely because of the international outcry against the violence.

  • 1) Why Was the Outbreak of Violence in Derry ~ Londonderry During The
    1) Why was the outbreak of violence in Derry ~ Londonderry during the Battle of the Bogside such a significant event for future violence in Northern Ireland that would be known as The Troubles The Battle of the Bogside was a result of the on-going levels of tension between the Nationalist community in Northern Ireland against the Unionist government and Policing in Northern Ireland at the time. After the events of August 1969 in which the planned NICRA March to Derry was deemed illegal, a counter demonstration by the Apprentice Boys of Derry was planned. Violence flared in the Nationalist Bogside area of Derry in which the security forces struggled to control the violence. Local residents and Nationalists felt that they were struggling to get their concerned addressed and that they faced continued discrimination from the government and the police in their response. 2) Why did the Nationalist Community welcome the arrival of the British Army in the beginning? The Nationalist Community welcomed the arrival of the British Army to Northern Ireland at the beginning as they were seen as protectors from the Loyalist agitators and a more fair form of law and order than they had been used to by the RUC. The British Army were sent into Northern Ireland to restore law and order as well as maintaining good relations with the Nationalist Community, 3) Why were the Unionist Community concerned about the arrival of the British Army to Northern Ireland? The Unionist Community and in particular those within the government and the security forces including the RUC and B-Specials felt that they were being undermined by the British Government and their decision to send the Army to Northern Ireland.

  • Accountability, Policing and the Police Service Of
    Topping, J. R. (2016) ‘Accountability, Policing and the Police Service of Northern Ireland: Local Practice, Global Standards?’, in S. Lister and M. Rowe (eds.) Accountability of Policing (Routledge Frontiers of Criminal Justice). Oxon: Routledge. Accountability, Policing and the Police Service of Northern Ireland: Local Practice, Global Standards? John Topping Almost without exception, both the development and operationalization of police accountability in Northern Ireland have gone hand-in-hand with the much lauded and complex reform process set in motion by the far-reaching recommendations of the Independent Commission for Policing in Northern Ireland (ICP, 1999). Beneath the international attention focused upon the polity’s policing affairs over nearly four decades, it may be observed that ‘knowing’ and ‘overseeing’ what the police ‘do’ have become integral to the country’s contemporary policing (and political) landscape. As part of the implicit ICP policy of ‘wrestling’ policing from the state and giving it ‘back to the people’ (Topping, 2008b), creating one of the world’s most accountable police services has become the bedrock of community trust and legitimacy not just in the police, but so too the state – not withstanding the importance of policing to the wider political settlement and stability in the country (O’Rawe, 2003). Thus, on both vertical (structural) and horizontal (socio-political) plains, the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) has become governed by a host of statutory, governmental and other bodies – generally conceived as the global ‘gold standard’ of police oversight, not limited to operational policing, human rights, public order policing and organisational governance (Ellison, 2007; Office of the Oversight Commissioner, 2007; Topping, 2008a).

    STAR OF KILWARLIN MASONIC LODGE No. 66 READ BY W. Bro BEFORE THE MOST WORSHIPFULL GRAND MASTER of the MOST WORSHIPFULL GRAND LODGE OF IRELAND TO MARK MASONIC LODGE No 66 STAR OF KILWARLIN 150TH ANNIVERSARY IN 2017 STAR OF KILWARLIN MASONIC LODGE No. 66 This paper was read first on the 25th November 2017 at Hillsborough Masonic Hall at the meeting held by the Lodge of Research 200. Then on the 7th December 2017 by a Member of the Lodge before the Most Worshipful Grand Master to mark the Lodge’s 150th Anniversary Introduction Star of Kilwarlin Lodge No. 66 is celebrating its one hundred and fiftieth anniversary this year and it is understandable that the Brethren of the Lodge would want to cast an eye over what it has achieved during the years of its existence and, at the same time, take stock before moving on to the next fifty years. Anyone interested in the history of the Lodge would be well advised to look to the account of its first one hundred years (1867–1967) written by the late Worshipful Brother J McGilton, as updated by an account of the next twenty-five years (1967– 1992) by the late Very Worshipful Brother Bob Maxwell PPJGW. I will draw on those two accounts in this presentation. The Warrant A reading of these accounts would show that the early history of the Warrant is unclear. It is likely that the Warrant was first issued in the eighteenth century but to whom we are unsure. What the record does show, however, is that the Warrant was issued in April 1810 for the purpose of forming a lodge in the Tralee and Kerry Militia.
