Abstract:
This study discerns how, and the extent to which cnme III Ireland and Northern Ireland is related to social capital, homogeneity and tolerance measured in the European Values Survey. Higher levels of social capital are associated with lower crime and higher crime is associated with lower levels of social capital. Reported crime was 92% higher in Northern Ireland in 1999, as it had been for the previous five and ten years I. The level of unreported crime is higher in Northern Ireland. Social capital is higher in the Republic than in Northern Ireland in 100 of 128 European Values Survey 1999 measures (of social capital, homogeneity and tolerance). 21 were higher in NI. Higher levels of social capital, homogeneity and tolerance have a demonstrable and continuous downward impact on reported and unreported crime in the Republic of Ireland. The findings in this study do not support the GECD suggestion that trust can be a proxy for social capital, nor is voluntary activity alone a valid proxy. The level of involvement in sports and recreation, concern for the elderly, being prepared to help immigrants and spending time with work colleagues neighbourliness - is a more reliable indicator. Sporting membership is high in Ireland and Northern Ireland. The Ulster Tiger and Celtic Tiger help and hinder social capital. Satisfaction with the police and justice in Northern Ireland is increasing among Catholics and decreasing among Protestants but decreasing overall. Social bonding in credit unions, pubs, white collar crime and the black economy is considered as a form of social capital. The EVS 1999 results do not raise questions about the general applicability of the recommendations of the Patten Commission as a blueprint for police reform but the ESS 2003 suggests a need to evaluate the results of the Commission's recommendations. Twenty activities and policies are suggested to discourage crime through social capital, homogeneity and tolerance.

Abstract:
Background: With the return to relative peace in Northern Ireland, available demographic data suggest that its population is growing in the sense of becoming increasingly diverse in line with the UK. However, there has been very little research on the social psychological implications of this growing diversity. One aspect of the implication of the growing diversity is prejudice. But past research had focused on Catholics and Protestants with little on the multiethnic dimension. In view of this gap, this research was directed at multiethnic prejudice in Northern Ireland. Aims: To understand the extent of multiethnic prejudice in Northern Ireland in view of the growing diversity. Research Design: The research broadly comprised four studies. The first, focused on a qualitative perspective with seven ethnic groups. It employed the simultaneous use of focus groups with sample sizes of 4-6 persons and Interpretative Phenomenological Analytical (IPA) approaches. The quantitative part had a total sample size of 417. In a cross-sectional design using a convenience sample method, Study two was an evaluation of intergroup relations based on Social Identity to understand its dimensionality in a multiethnic context. The third and fourth studies were focused on Blatant/Subtle Prejudice and Social Distance as measures of the prevalence of ethnic prejudice respectively. These studies also sought to understand their factor structures. Findings: The qualitative study uncovered feelings of dislike and mutual suspicion between ethnic groups. The study also showed that it is possible to simultaneously use Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis and focus in analysing data. The quantitative analysis which employed the use of SPSS and AMOS found a three factor structure for Social Identity in a multiethnic context. In addition, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was applied due some of the limitation of factor analysis. There were significant differences between Catholics and Protestant on Social Identity and all the prejudice measures. There was also evidence of significant negative views between majority and minority groups in the country. Conclusion: The main implication of this research is that there is evidence of a broad divide between the ethnic groups involved in the research indicating a lack of integration. Further implications and areas for future research are suggested.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis investigates how relations between the government of Britain, Ireland and Northern Ireland changed in the early years of the Northern Ireland Troubles until the collapse of the Sunningdale executive in May 1974. Specifically this research looks at the three relations studying many of the important aspects of intergovernmental relations within the three jurisdictions at the time and using a wide range of examples to demonstrate how the primary driver in relations between all three jurisdictions moved from economic to political, security and intelligence by 1972 and how these relationships grew and developed before their eventual collapse in the months following the Ulster Workers’ Council Strike. Primarily this study is based on archive research in London, Dublin and Belfast at the official national archives of the three states. However it has also made use of interviews with officials. It includes new insight into negotiations for membership of the EEC, Territorial Seas Delimitation, the Arms Crisis, British relations with Terence O’Neill (and the Northern Ireland government’s opinion of the British), the preparations for internment and Direct Rule, the origins of the Northern Ireland Office and the Irish government’s relations with Northern Ireland’s nationalists. This thesis, using recently released sources, challenges a number of conclusions from previously published research, particularly into North-South relations after 1966, and Britain’s preparations for sending British troops in support of the Northern Ireland government. Significantly, this PhD also demonstrates a long series of British attempts at the end of 1972 and throughout 1973 to tease the Irish government into increasing their border security operations. In doing so it explains the Sunningdale Agreement in the context of a relationship between the Cosgrave and Heath governments that went far beyond what was known at the time and was dependent to a far greater extent on security cooperation than has previously been accepted.

Abstract:
The aim of this research is to address the situation of transport disadvantage in Northern Ireland. The link. between transport disadvantage and social exclusion, namely the ability to access goods and services is a key public policy concern. Work in England and Scotland has identified the extent of the problem and some of the key patterns (DE~ 2000; Hine and Mitchell, 2001, 2003; Social Exclusion Unit, 2003). To date, limited research has been undertaken on this relationship in Northern Ireland. In 2000 the General Conswner Council (GCCNI) produced a short discussion document on transport disadvantage. This is problematic given the statements of concern in national transport strategy and planning docwnents (DRDNI, 1998, 2002). By and large, the relationship between transport and social exclusion is little understood by local authorities who are struggling to target resources at the problem (DETR, 1998). There is a clear need, therefore, to identify patterns of transport need. For the purposes of this thesis four case study areas at electoral ward level were selected. Focus group meetings and in-depth individual interviews within the rural community were carried out to explore the linkages between transport provision and lifestyle decisions. These were followed up by a target sample of 200 household surveys in each ward area, 200 secondary school surveys and 120 travel diary completions. The travel diaries have only been used in a supplementary capacity due to problems associated with incomplete returns. The key to detennining levels of transport disadvantage in the four case studies surrounded the link with gender, age group, level of household income and socioeconomic group. In this study, differences in travel experiences by gender were found to be minimal. Many females have access to a private car and are, thus accessing facilities, goods and services relatively easily. The issue of age group was found to be a more significant variable. While gender is not an issue, both males and females in the 25 to 59 age groups are the only groups who do not suffer in any way from transport disadvantage. lbis is due to the fact that the vast majority of respondents here are employed, own their own cars and are on relatively good household incomes. When younger and older respondents are considered, problems become more evident. The data presented shows that these groups are less likely to be able to drive or to have access to a private car, other than by relying on someone to give them lifts. These groups are also more liable to be on lower income levels resulting in less ability to buy and maintain their own transport, thus relying on public transport to meet their needs, something which proves problematic in the rural context.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis explores post-conflict vrctimhood as it manifests itself In Northern Ireland. While extensive research has been carried out into the subject, most research in psychology considers victlmhood to be. a cognitive or perhaps a clinical phenomenon. This thesis proposes that victimhood is fundamentally a the rhetorical phenomenon by which the possessors of the status can use it to argue about what should be done for victims and perpetrators. Because It is a coveted status, people argue about the limits of victimhood, to whom it applies and how it should be handled. These arguments about what a victim is, who is a victim and what should be done about victims are the focus of these studies. The thesis follows in the tradition of rhetorical and discursive psychology by offering a rhetorical conception of a subject not typically treated as rhetoric. In it, recent research into victimhood is considered which can be reconceptualied in rhetorical terms. The empirical chapters begin by looking at how the nature of victim hood is constructed in newspapers through the use of metaphors. How these newspaper articles argue about what should be done about victims is then explored, by considering their use of argumentation (Chapter 4). The ideological dilemmas surrounding these arguments suggest that there are always opposing ideas to any ideas about how to dea1 with victims. Chapters 5 and 6 explore how the definition of a victim ·and ways of dealing with victims are argued about in political manifestos. Chapters 7 and 8 look at the same issues as in 5 and 6 but from the perspective of victims. Several focus groups are analyse~d and in Chapter 8 particular emphasis is placed on how a rhetorical perspective on needs can give insight into arguments about victimhood.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines two related aspects of police reform in the divided society of Northern Ireland: (i) the reasons for under-representation of Catholics in the Royal Ulster Constabulary and (ii) the likely success of a 50:50 Catholic:non-Catholic recruitment policy recommended by the Patten Commission in 1999 and implemented by the Police Service of Northern Ireland established to replace the RUC in 2001. In theoretical terms, the study seeks to assess how policing can be transformed from a neo-colonial model into a liberal model by police reform alone, and how far success is contingent upon social and political change. A historical analysis spanning 180 years (1822-2002) shows the inadequacy of the neo-colonial model in winning the support of the Catholic population. An eclectic approach draws upon research done in a variety of disciplines and in comparative contexts which give an overview of policing in other divided societies. Survey findings are presented from a random sample of Catholic officers whose profiles are compared with those of the Catholic community on selected biographical and attitudinal variables. The main data are presented qualitatively from in-depth interviews conducted with 70 Catholic police - retired, serving and trainees - whose service began in 1945. Contemporary sociological theory on the concepts of culture and identity are discussed in order to explain findings. The Conclusion includes suggestions aimed to assist in recruiting Catholics to the PSNI.

Abstract:
According to Richard English, “one of the most conspicuous features of the scholarly literature in recent years has been the lack of scrutiny which certain subjects have received – subject(s) which the explosion of the Northern Irish conflict might have been expected to stimulate” (English, 1996, p.221). One subject, which has received little academic consideration, despite recent developments, has been the area of unionism and human rights in Northern Ireland. The overall aim of this thesis is to investigate and consider the attitudes of influential strands of unionist opinion towards the concept of human rights as that narrative as been applied and interpreted in Northern Ireland. In order to consider fully the position of influential strands of unionist opinion on human rights, the thesis does this firstly, through theoretical engagement with what is meant by the concept of human rights and an examination of unionist political thought. Secondly, through examining the practical application of human rights in Northern Ireland, which means investigating the position of influential strands of unionist opinion on a Northern Ireland Bill of Rights (pre and post Belfast Agreement) and the relationship of key unionist elites with the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission (NIHRC). The thesis poses four interconnected and overlapping questions. Firstly, are influential strands of unionist opinion sceptical and suspicious of human rights as that concept as been interpreted and applied in Northern Ireland? Secondly, if unionists have expressed anxiety, what aspects of human rights discourse in Northern Ireland are key unionist elites sceptical of? Thirdly, is this anxiety universal or do significant cleavages within unionism exist? Fourthly, why are unionists anxious about human rights discourse in Northern Ireland? This thesis aims to address the absence of any research or academic study of this area of Northern Ireland politics and in doing so increase our knowledge and understanding of unionism’s relationship with this particular aspect of the peace process in Northern Ireland and of recent debates about the protection of human rights in Northern Ireland. It also aims to move beyond the anecdotal and rhetorical manner in which this area has been presented in the academic literature and in popular political discourse and develop a deeper understanding than currently exists about the nature of the relationship between key unionist elites and human rights in Northern Ireland.

Michael, Laura J. "Planning and sacralised spaces in Northern Ireland." Thesis, Queen's University Belfast, 2014. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.679488.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis considers the potential of collaborative planning practice to effectively manage and develop sites within Northern Ireland, which are memorialised and sacralised by former conflict and tragic events of the past. It considers the extent to which collaborative methodologies are capable of dealing with the diverse discourses and interpretations that surround space and place. The research unpacks the understanding of space and place from a cultural geography perspective, alongside a consideration of theoretical planning approaches, understanding that techno-rational mechanisms, largely in operation by planning systems, are ineffective in understanding or facilitating the development of such sites which are sensitive to the past. As a result, the thesis deconstructs the key tenets of collaborative planning theory and reassembles it with these understandings of place as a conceptual mechanism to assess the development of three case study sites. All three of these sites are opportunities of strategic investment, delivered to the Northern Ireland Assembly under the Reinvestment and Reform Initiative. At present, rational mechanisms have not failed in facilitating development, despite political, economic and community optimism at the time of their transfer. The research also explores the inconsistencies and ethical challenges raised as a result of the commodification of sacralised sites for tourism or heritage products, seeking to understand the complexities of adding the 'tourist gaze' to these sites. The varied motivations and interpretations of such users are also explored, demonstrating a tourist market that is nuanced and diverse in its interests. Three case studies and a tourist survey are utilised in this research, combining both quantitative and qualitative methods underneath an interpretive epistemology to explore the 'layers of meaning' that contribute to the sacralisation of space. The thesis then provides recommendations regarding collaborative and agonistic structures which may more successfully engage with former sites of conflict, in the future.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is an examination of how the Second World War has been commemorated in Northern Ireland. It seeks to explore how popular and official understandings of the war were constructed around two key moments. Primarily, it looks at the Victory celebrations to mark the end of the war in the West in May 1945. Secondly, it examines the importance of the publication of the official war history Northern Ireland in the Second World War in November 1956. By looking closely at how the Northern Irish government planned for the victory celebrations and how this ritual unfolded, we can reveal much about Northern Irish society at the end of the war. This thesis shows that the state-led, official commemoration served only to alienate the Catholic community. Exploring how the Northern Irish press recorded this event highlights the underlying tensions existing between both communities at the time. This thesis argues that the Northern Irish government used the victory celebrations to project a positive image of itself to the British government. Equally, in 1940 the Northern Irish government rather pre-emptively commissioned the writing of its own official war history, separate from the United Kingdom Official War History Series. This decision, taken by the Northern Irish government, was intended to ensure that Northern Ireland’s role in the war would never be forgotten. After 1945, the unionist government, preoccupied with securing its constitutional positioning within the United Kingdom, intended to make this official history a permanent memorial to Northern Ireland’s contribution to the war. Written, therefore, to exaggerate Northern Ireland’s part in the war, this official war history can be seen as a reflection of unionist insecurity. It is through these commemorative processes that ideas of national identity and belonging are explored.

Rea, Niall. "Queer identity in performance in Northern Ireland." Thesis, Queen's University Belfast, 2016. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.709700.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis investigates queer identity in performance in Northern Ireland, focusing on its socioculturally disruptive agency. Queer theory provides a poststructuralist paradigm that unsettles any binary structures in the analysis of gender and sexuality in social, historical and cultural studies. Its disruptive analysis can also be harnessed to subvert the outwardly dysfunctional sectarian binary in Northern Irish society by critiquing the construction of identities. I explore this localised interpretation of queer and argue for a re-evaluation through a ‘queer reading’ (or ‘queering’) of recent Northern Irish cultural/theatrical history, contending that this geographically particular reading of queerness can place it as a desegregated identity exemplar. The practice portion of the thesis then stages this desegregating queer agency and explores its potentials for cultural comment and critical reordering. I approach the research as a scholar and a theatre practitioner, with the result that the thesis is undertaken and organised as a 60% written dissertation along with 40% creative practice. Firstly the thesis explores the somewhat obfuscated history of gay characters in Northern Irish drama (especially in non-canonical, alternative works) and their attendant queerness or disordering (or reordering) potentials in relation to the ethnosectarian conflict and also contemporary post-conflict Northern Ireland. I will pay particular attention to cross-dressed characters in performance as both popular and subversively queer parodies that often collapse sectarian binaries. I then theorise how this queer agency can work dramaturgically through my practice and how its transformative potentiality can be harnessed through such cultural interventions. I will conclude that the localised Northern Irish lens establishes a model of situating and understanding queer that, through engaging with the discourse around conflict resolution, provides a useful alternative identity marker beyond any binaries.

Lanchbury, Maeve Sarah. "Cohesion and shared education in Northern Ireland." Thesis, Ulster University, 2017. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.726838.

Full text
Abstract:
The vision of a shared future is clouded by shared education. No matter how laudable, shared education is an abstract concept. There is no fixed, one-fits-all model for shared education. The research reveals that the case for shared education may not be quite as straightforward as some commentators have suggested. Drawing on literature from Europe and Britain a dual typology of cohesion provided the cornerstone for this research. A mixed methods case study supported an objective examination of the shared education narrative. Dealing with violent conflict, cultural diversity, and economic inequality is an ongoing concern for Britain, Europe and beyond. Thus the conviction that shared education helps to foster good relations in a divided society has captured the attention of academics, educationalists and political leaders in other parts of the world. There are many reasons why parents, pupils, teachers and communities may resist the opportunity to engage with ‘others’ as a distinct religious, racial, or political group. But the opposite also holds true. What really matters in a democratic society moving out of conflict is that government ensures that local communities are provided with choices and residents are able to make decisions free from fear.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis through three interrelated research papers examines how to ration elective healthcare in the Northern Ireland hospital sector and investigates the policy option of waiting. Paper one contributes to knowledge on rationing in a healthcare setting by examining demand and supply rationing including the policy option of rationing by waiting. Paper one explores the key demand and supply drivers of waiting times in healthcare with specific focus on the hospital sector. Paper two makes an original contribution to the existing empirical knowledge on the demand and supply drivers of hospital waiting times by employing econometric analysis to estimate a waiting time equation, a demand equation and a supply equation for elective inpatient procedures for each of the twenty one key clinical specialties. Thirteen years of quarterly NHS hospital data (Quarter 1, 1995/1996 to Quarter 3,2007/2008) for Northern Ireland, is employed. The policy implication from the results in paper 2 is that a policy which may be effective for managing waiting times in one speciality may not be effective in other specialities. Paper three provides an original contribution to knowledge on healthcare rationing through an evaluation of the policy of a maximum waiting time guarantee in the Northern Ireland hospital sector. The evaluation includes quantitative and qualitative research. The qualitative study investigates the limitations of principal-agency theory when applied to healthcare. The research approach of grounded theory is employed to identify key themes from the ten hospital consultant and eleven hospital manager interviews undertaken to inform the research. The theme of professional power emerged from the study as significantly influencing the behaviour of the hospital consultants. It was also found that targets, the monitoring of performance and penalties for non-compliance will increase the success of a waiting time guarantee policy.

Abstract:
Ethnonational movements have proliferated throughout the world since the American and French Revolutions first gave birth to the consciousness that every nation has a right to self-determination. Whether these ethnic-based nationalist movements are a new phenomenon which is rooted in the Industrial Era of Europe, or are just a recent stage in an ethnic struggle that began during the initial cultural contact between two ethnically different groups and has persisted ever since, determines the point at which an analyst will choose to begin his or her investigation. Ultimately, the selection of this starting point determines the conclusions drawn about the cause and nature of ethnonational movements. In this thesis, the exploration of Irish ethnonationalism begins in the twelfth century when the Anglo-Normans invaded Ireland. The formation and development of the Irish ethnic group is analyzed, and self-identification found to be the key criterion for determining group membership. As social cleavages between the "Irish" and "colonizer" hardened, institutions and structures emerged to maintain and reinforce the ethnic boundary between these two groups. The thesis concludes with a detailed analysis of the operation of one mechanism of self-segregation--separate education—using ethnographic data and autobiographical accounts of the childhood experiences of people who were born and raised in Northern Ireland. In this thesis, it is argued that Irish ethnic consciousness was brought into awareness when the invading Anglo-Normans threatened to dissolve into chaos the existing Gaelic social order. It is contended that the ethnic struggle in Ireland which began in the twelfth century and still persists today in Northern Ireland, has no single cause, but was and still is fundamentally a cultural conflict which continues to be fuelled by a long history of "remembered" grievances—cultural, political, and economic--most of which predate industrialization and the American and French Revolutions. This past is kept alive by the institutions, structures, and practices which maintain and reinforce the ethnic boundary between Catholics and Protestants in contemporary Northern Ireland, thus ensuring that the Irish nationalist movement will continue to have at its disposal a sharply defined ethnic group which it can mobilize when necessary, and from which it can recruit new members.

Abstract:
This dissertation contributes to existing scholarship on contemporary multiculturalism. It does so by exploring how multicultural agendas are operationalised in Northern Ireland – a society divided along sectarian lines. As the political violence of the conflict has receded, Northern Ireland has witnessed unprecedented levels of in-migration. This dissertation seeks to understand how, as Northern Irish society is increasingly being conceived of as culturally diverse, emerging multicultural agendas interact with embedded sectarianism. The empirical research focuses on the political institutions and policies pertaining to Northern Ireland as a whole, and the specific activities and social practices of various ethnically-identified minorities, voluntary organisations and anti-racist movements in selected areas of Belfast. The research involved interviews with civil servants, policy makers, ethnically-identified minorities, voluntary groups and anti-racist activists. This dissertation argues that a government concern for managing cultural diversity can be understood as part of a process of ‘normalising’ Northern Ireland after the conflict. However, a persistent sectarianism complicates, and often impedes, the advancement of multicultural, and particularly anti-racist, agendas. This argument is developed through an exploration of policy and institutional structures, anti-racist campaigns and responses to racialised violence, as well as initiatives that seek to recognise and celebrate cultural diversity. This dissertation shows that the relationship between sectarianism and multiculturalism in post-Agreement Northern Ireland is not unidirectional. Instead, the two processes are deeply imbricated with each other: multicultural initiatives are shaped by sectarianism, and sectarianism persists in emergent multicultural imaginaries. This said, the dissertation suggests that multiculturalism is also capable of disrupting sectarian constructions of space and identity in Northern Ireland. Based on these findings, this dissertation argues that cultural diversity provides an opportunity to denaturalise the social structures and narratives which reproduce sectarianism. It is argued that this process could play an important role in advancing the construction of a socially cohesive and multicultural Northern Ireland.
