This volume brings together a range of theoretical responses to
issues in Irish politics. Its organising ideas: recognition,
equality, and democracy set the terms of political debate within
both jurisdictions. For some, there are significant tensions
between the grammar of recognition, concerned with esteem, respect
and the symbolic aspects of social life, and the logic of equality,
which is primarily concerned with the distribution of material
resources and formal opportunities, while for others, tensions are
produced rather by certain interpretations of these ideas while
alternative readings may, by contrast, serve as the basis for a
systematic account of social and political inequality. The essays
in this collection will explore these interconnections with
reference to the politics of Northern Ireland and the Republic. The
Republic has gone through a period in which its constitution was
the focus for a liberal politics aimed at securing personal
autonomy, while Northern Ireland's political landscape has been
shaped by the problem of securing political autonomy and democratic
legitimacy. While the papers address key questions facing each
particular polity, the issues themselves have resonances for
politics on each side of the border.
