No full textNorthern Ireland's uncertain stability
No full textThis introductory chapter sets the parameters of the debate presented within this volume: On the one hand, the experience of consociational power-sharing in Northern Ireland is located within the context of the wave of ‘post-conflict’, externally projected political solutions to domestic challenges to territorial integrity of the state; on the other hand, attention is given to some of the normative assumptions that have been taken for granted in the scholarship focussed on the practice of bringing peace to conflict-ridden, divided societies. While recognising limited opportunities for reforming political institutional arrangements, this chapter points to the unintended consequences of consociational power-sharing for political and societal processes in the province; showing how the logics of transactional rather than goal-oriented interactions have become locked into the institutional framework. Contrariwise, this chapter identifies signs of a deeper societal transformation – likely suggesting societal change and momentum towards a more liberal democracy – that may, if appropriately acknowledged, help address the question of Northern Ireland’s uncertain stability. The complex framework presented invites further debate on what is required to create a more transformative path out of conflict in Northern Ireland and elsewhere
