‘Northern Ireland Is free to determine its own future. It is a fundamental part of the United Kingdom, If the majority of the people in Northern Ireland wish not to be obviously we would honor their wish, whether it was to be independent or to join up elsewhere.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTThis paper examines ideas about democratic legitimacy and sovereignty within Ulster unionist political thought during the revolutionary period in Ireland (c. 1912–22). Confronted by Irish nationalists who claimed that Home Rule (and later, independence) enjoyed the support of the majority of people in Ireland, Ulster unionists deployed their own democratic idioms to rebuff such arguments. In asserting unionism's majority status, first, across the United Kingdom and, second, within the province of Ulster, unionists mined the language of democracy to legitimise their militant stand again

Abstract:

Abstract This article surveys the modern historiography of the Huguenots in Ireland. As victims of religious persecution, but also as Protestants, the historiography of the Huguenots in Ireland provides an excellent barometer for measuring contemporary political and historiographical concerns within Ireland. In the long and arduous struggles over Irish identity, religion and political control, the Huguenots have been used by some historians to represent heroic Protestant victims of Catholic, absolutist tyranny, and the prosperity‐inducing values of Protestant dissent. Alternatively, they have

Abstract:

ABSTRACT: This article explores the evolution and current state of employment law across the two jurisdictions on the island of Ireland, a century after the 1920 Government of Ireland Act. Labour law, long debated for its legitimacy as a legal discipline, sits at the intersection of legal doctrine, political theory and social justice. The collapse of classical labour law models and the pressures of globalisation have further politicised the field. This study examines how partition and constitutional changes have affected shared legal origins, with a focus on statutory, constitutional and commo

Abstract:

Intellectual historians often invoke “romanticism” to account for the origins and conceptual shape of nationalism. In an Irish context, however, this approach has yielded false genealogies of influence and an impaired political understanding. Cast through a “romantic” prism, nationalism is divorced from its conditions of intelligibility, becoming unhelpfully isolated from questions about sovereignty, democratic legitimacy and the nature of modern citizenship. Thus all too often the irrationality that is made part of the definition of “romantic nationalism” is a function of the way that it is i

Abstract:

The paper analyzes the forms of representation of authority over Ireland in John Lynch’s “Cambrensis Eversus” (1662). In polemic with Gerald of Wales and the English/British tradition of representation of Ireland, Lynch constructed his own view on history of Ireland and authority over this land. The first level of representation is the authority of ancient Irish kings. In this sense Lynch emphasized the contract between Irish kings and people. Moreover, Lynch modernized the image of power of ancient Irish kings, using the terms and concepts of early modern intellectual discourse. The second le

Abstract:

The flag protests in Northern Ireland (2012–13) offer an opportunity on the one hand to examine the politics of dispossession, national identity, decline and political violence in loyalist areas in Belfast. On the other, they are an opportunity to examine of hope, leadership and change within working class loyalism – not least, around the re-imagining of what Britishness can/could or perhaps should mean in post-Agreement Northern Ireland. This article offers an activist-academic perspective on and interpretation of the meaning and potential of those protests around how they reveal both a fract

Two Irelands beyond the Sea: Ulster Unionism and America, 1880-1920 uncovers the transnational movement by Ireland’s unionists as they worked to maintain the Union with Great Britain during the Home Rule era of Irish history. Overshadowed by Irish-American nationalist relations, this transnational movement attempted to bridge the Atlantic to gain support for unionism from the United States. During the Home Rule era, unionists were anxious about Irish-American extremism, apprehensive of American involvement in the Irish question, and eagerly sought support for their own movement.

Through case-study research, Majka Ryan offers a systematic microanalysis of discretion in a specific context of residence-based welfare conditionality derived from the labour movement directive 2004/38/EC. The latter is utilised in the coordination of social security benefits for mobile EU citizens across Europe. Ryan reveals that in Ireland and other jurisdictions, official rights, be they supranational or local, when translated into practice are shaped by different political, organisational and decision-making actors, consequently leading to an uneven distribution of substantive rights and

Abstract Based on letters, state papers, drama, poetry, and material objects, this book tells the story of the troubled accession and exciting first decade of James I’s reign. After a chapter on Elizabeth I’s death, funeral, and afterlife, the book turns to the new king, first his reign in Scotland and afterwards his first year in England. These chapters detail the problems that he initially faced: the legacy of his predecessor’s reign, questions about his legitimacy, plots in England, and unrest in Ireland. Overall, this section of the book challenges the traditional assumption that James’s a

Abstract:

This chapter presents Ireland as a contemporary case-study in democratic constitutionalism where the people have amended their Constitution through popular referendum for over 80 years. As the only country in the world to have legalised same-sex marriage and abortion by popular referendum, Ireland provides a striking counter-narrative to the contemporary equation of plebiscites with populism, and direct democracy with constitutional demise. Exploring the promise—and perils—of referendums as a mode of constitutional change, we uncover a “referendum culture” which has developed in Ireland. We al

Abstract:

Abstract Two of the biggest questions facing historians of m’entieth-century Ireland are: why revolution, and why violence? That is, why did Ireland’s long-standing political conflict metamorphose into a direct challenge to the British state after 1912, and why did this confrontation take the form of armed rebellion after 1915? After all, the Land War of 1879-82 presented many of the same features of mass mobilization, popular violence and official repression, a crisis of state legitimacy and radical political realignment-without descending into mass homicide. On the other hand, moving forward

Chapter 10 explores the input legitimacy of Eurozone crisis governance as seen through its impact “at the bottom,” on national politics. The chapter first details citizens’ rising Euroskepticism against a background of declining trust in national and EU political institutions, fueled by socioeconomic and sociocultural sources of discontent. But Euroskepticism also stems from a range of other EU-related beliefs and plays out differently as a result of political institutional and geopolitical factors. All such factors help explain the EU’s increasing political polarization and party realignments

Abstract:

This chapter looks at the pros and cons of peace formation in Northern Ireland; a case where many would suppose that international, elite-level, and social claims had moved close together during the peace process, having been at least partly reconciled mainly by various international and state-level initiatives. This translates as a form of oligarchy between domestic political parties and the British and Irish governments which did its best to stage-manage popular input. Indeed, the agency of local actors was encouraged when deemed useful but was ignored if it fell outside of the intentions of

It discusses the origins of the welfare state, the relationship between welfare and citizenship, Ireland's position within welfare state frameworks, Irish social policy, and the crisis of legitimacy in the welfare state. It is argued that in the reconstructed reality of postmodern society, the challenge of social policy is to respond reflexively to changing needs and demands.

Ireland seems, at least to an outsider, to be one of the Member States which has gained most from Union membership and all the main political parties supported ratification of the Treaty, yet nearly 54 per cent of those who took part in the referendum voted against it.

‘The government’ discusses the developing Troubles from the British government’s perspective. The British government introduced troops onto the streets of Northern Ireland to deal with the escalating tensions that exploded in August 1969. Britain was anxious to sustain the existence of the Stormont system and feared having to introduce ‘direct rule’ from London. The logical consequence of this was sustaining the political legitimacy of the Unionist government in Northern Ireland. The encounters between the British army and Catholics did much to reinforce nationalist assumptions about British o
