  • 1 Demographic Change and Conflict in Northern Ireland
    Demographic Change and Conflict in Northern Ireland: Reconciling Qualitative and Quantitative Evidence Eric Kaufmann James Fearon and David Laitin (2003) famously argued that there is no connection between the ethnic fractionalisation of a state’s population and its likelihood of experiencing ethnic conflict. This has contributed towards a general view that ethnic demography is not integral to explaining ethnic violence. Furthermore, sophisticated attempts to probe the connection between ethnic shifts and conflict using large-N datasets have failed to reveal a convincing link. Thus Toft (2007), using Ellingsen's dataset for 1945-94, finds that in world-historical perspective, since 1945, ethno-demographic change does not predict civil war. Toft developed hypotheses from realist theories to explain why a growing minority and/or shrinking majority might set the conditions for conflict. But in tests, the results proved inconclusive. These cross-national data-driven studies tell a story that is out of phase with qualitative evidence from case study and small-N comparative research. Donald Horowitz cites the ‘fear of extinction’ voiced by numerous ethnic group members in relation to the spectre of becoming minorities in ‘their’ own homelands due to differences of fertility and migration. (Horowitz 1985: 175-208) Slack and Doyon (2001) show how districts in Bosnia where Serb populations declined most against their Muslim counterparts during 1961-91 were associated with the highest levels of anti-Muslim ethnic violence. Likewise, a growing field of interest in African studies concerns the problem of ‘autochthony’, whereby ‘native’ groups wreak havoc on new settlers in response to the perception that migrants from more advanced or dense population regions are ‘swamping’ them.

  • The Ulster Women's Unionist Council and Ulster Unionism
    “No Idle Sightseers”: The Ulster Women’s Unionist Council and Ulster Unionism (1911-1920s) Pamela Blythe McKane A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN POLITICAL SCIENCE YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO JANUARY 2015 ©Pamela Blythe McKane 2015 Abstract Title: “No Idle Sightseers”: The Ulster Women’s Unionist Council and Ulster Unionism (1911-1920s) This doctoral dissertation examines the Ulster Women’s Unionist Council (UWUC), an overlooked, but historically significant Ulster unionist institution, during the 1910s and 1920s—a time of great conflict. Ulster unionists opposed Home Rule for Ireland. World War 1 erupted in 1914 and was followed by the Anglo-Irish War (1919- 1922), the partition of Ireland in 1922, and the Civil War (1922-1923). Within a year of its establishment the UWUC was the largest women’s political organization in Ireland with an estimated membership of between 115,000 and 200,000. Yet neither the male- dominated Ulster unionist institutions of the time, nor the literature related to Ulster unionism and twentieth-century Irish politics and history have paid much attention to its existence and work. This dissertation seeks to redress this. The framework of analysis employed is original in terms of the concepts it combines with a gender focus. It draws on Rogers Brubaker’s (1996) concepts of “nation” as practical category, institutionalized form (“nationhood”), and contingent event (“nationness”), combining these concepts with William Walters’ (2004) concept of “domopolitics” and with a feminist understanding of the centrality of gender to nation.

  • Creating a Soccer Strategy for Northern Ireland
    CREATING A SOCCER STRATEGY FOR NORTHERN IRELAND Report from the Advisory Panel to the Minister for Culture, Arts and Leisure CREATING A SOCCER STRATEGY FOR NORTHERN IRELAND Report from the Advisory Panel to the Minister for Culture, Arts and Leisure 3 4 FOREWORD In October 2000, Michael McGimpsey MLA, Minister of Culture, Arts and Leisure, established an Advisory Panel to help guide the development of a strategy for tackling the problems facing local football. I was very pleased to accept the role of chairing the Panel. A considerable amount of work and effort has been given by the Panel over the last twelve months in responding to the task set by the Minister. The detail of the Panel’s input is set out elsewhere in this report. I should like to take this opportunity to place on record my personal thanks to the other Panel members for their contribution, particularly in terms of the huge amount of time they have given freely to the process. At all times – afternoons, evenings, weekends and even a beautiful Sunday afternoon in June – we believed that we were working towards one goal, the betterment of football in Northern Ireland. I should also like to thank the DCAL officials who supported the Panel’s work. No one individual or organisation owns football. Football belongs to the people, and through this process we hope we have engaged with the people and taken account of their views in this report. In many ways this is their report. The Advisory Panel is sincerely grateful to everyone who contributed throughout the process and hopes that those concerned have been suitably acknowledged at Appendix II.

    Leverhulme-funded monitoring programme Northern Ireland report 2 February 2000 Contents Summary Robin Wilson 3 Getting going Rick Wilford 4 The media Liz Fawcett 17 Public attitudes and identity (Nil return) Finance Paul Gorecki 19 Political parties and elections (Nil return) Intergovernmental relations Graham Walker/ 21 Robin Wilson Relations with the EU Elizabeth Meehan 26 Public policies Robin Wilson 30 Into suspension Robin Wilson 32 2 Summary The last monitoring report from Northern Ireland was unique in the tripartite study because only in Northern Ireland had powers not been transferred to the new devolved institutions. This, second, report is also unique in that, whatever crises the Scottish and Welsh executives have experienced, the Northern Ireland Executive Committee has, within the space of a little over two months, not only come but also, for the moment at least, gone. If ever the point needed proving that the region is, constitutionally and politically, sui generis, this latest episode on the roller coaster blandly described as the Northern Ireland ‘peace process’ surely underscored it. This report is therefore, in its tenor, once more a victim of the hypertrophy of politics in Northern Ireland. Relatively little emphasis is given to the ‘normal’ concerns addressed elsewhere, compared with the iterative reworking of the already well-worn themes in the political discourse—of decommissioning and devolution. As a result, what would come under the headings of the devolved government and the assembly/parliament in the other reports here focuses more on the establishment of the institutions than on their substantive work. And there is inevitably a long exegesis of the process leading to their demise.
