It is widely argued that Britain has always followed a coherent
imperialist strategy in Northern Ireland. Paul Bew and Henry
Patterson take issue with this assumption in the first serious
study of British policy towards Ulster over the past twenty years.
They demonstrate, through a detailed examination of the twists and
turns of successive governments, the fundamental incoherence of
Britain's approach in its oldest colony.
Simplified notions about the consistency of British policy have led
to undue pessimism amongst those advocating progressive change in
the North. As a consequence they have missed real opportunities to
achieve significant political realignment by exploiting the
contradictions in Britain's stance.
Rejecting both the nationalist stance which defines the crisis in
terms of an occupying army and the traditional bi-partisan approach
which sees it only as a problem of terrorism, "The British State
and the Ulster Crisis" is a brave and original contribution to a
vital contemporary debate.
