The Troubles in Northern Ireland and Theories of Social Movements
11 PROTEST AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS Bosi & De Fazio (eds) Bosi Fazio & De and Theories of of Theories and in Northern Ireland The Troubles Social Movements Social Edited by Lorenzo Bosi and Gianluca De Fazio The Troubles in Northern Ireland and Theories of Social Movements The Troubles in Northern Ireland and Theories of Social Movements Protest and Social Movements Recent years have seen an explosion of protest movements around the world, and academic theories are racing to catch up with them. This series aims to further our understanding of the origins, dealings, decisions, and outcomes of social movements by fostering dialogue among many traditions of thought, across European nations and across continents. All theoretical perspectives are welcome. Books in the series typically combine theory with empirical research, dealing with various types of mobilization, from neighborhood groups to revolutions. We especially welcome work that synthesizes or compares different approaches to social movements, such as cultural and structural traditions, micro- and macro-social, economic and ideal, or qualitative and quantitative. Books in the series will be published in English. One goal is to encourage non- native speakers to introduce their work to Anglophone audiences. Another is to maximize accessibility: all books will be available in open access within a year after printed publication.

F. 3 5 W - 5 ■ ABSTRACT This thesis investigates the interaction between the evolution of the Irish Question and the re-emergence of Britain's two-party political system after World War I. It challenges the contention summed up in A.J.P. Taylor's suggestion that David Lloyd George 'conjured' the Irish Question out of existence with the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921. Here, it is shown that on the contrary the Irish dispute continued to be a highly sensitive issue for successive British governments until the Treaty's Boundary Commission report was shelved in 1925. This was so because British politics was then undergoing a profound revolution. -
Lessons from Northern Ireland
Economics in Peacemaking: Lessons from Northern Ireland The Portland Trust May 2007 The Portland Trust was founded in London in 2003 by Sir Ronald Cohen, co-founder of Apax Partners and Sir Harry Solomon, co-founder and former chairman and CEO of Hillsdown Holdings. The historian Sir Martin Gilbert is the third trustee. David Freud, former vice-chairman of UBS Investment Banking, is the chief executive and the fourth trustee. The Portland Trust is a not-for-profit British foundation committed to encouraging peace and stability between Palestinians and Israelis through economic development. It promotes initiatives which are designed to support the development of the private sector, particularly in the Palestinian Territories. Britain is uniquely placed to play a positive role in the region by virtue of its historical ties, its membership of the EU and its special relationship with the USA. The Portland Trust supports this role. Chart - I Unemployment in Northern Ireland rose Chart - IV The subvention is the difference steadily from the beginning of the Troubles until between public revenues and public expenditures the mid-1980s. The rise was particularly sharp in Northern Ireland. It rose along with violence and after the 1973 and the 1979 oil crises. Growing unemployment in the 1970s but levelled off in the unemployment reflected a long-term decline 1980s as UK government spending was curbed in the manufacturing sector. This decline across the board. It began to rise again in the gathered pace in the early 1970s and continued early 1990s as the peace process gathered to accelerate during the 1980s, a period of momentum. -
