Cowell-Meyers examines the continued sectarian conflict on the
island of Ireland from a comparative and historical framework.
Analyzing the process through which sectarian conflict was managed
on the continent, she identifies the unique evolution of the Irish
situation. Whereas European Catholics, such as those in the new
Germany, developed an institutional pillar to defend themselves and
protect their interests in the modern plural state, Irish Catholics
developed a radical nationalist movement in the same period at the
end of the 19th century. As elements of the British political
system pushed the Irish Catholic mobilization toward more
separatist goals and means, they thwarted the process of
accommodation seen in other European settings. The shape and
dynamics of Catholic mobilization in the last three decades of the
19th century set Catholics and Protestants on a path toward the
management of sectarian conflict in Germany and continental Europe
and toward the perpetuation of conflict in Ireland. Much like
conflict resolution literature, as well as liberal and pluralist
theory mischaracterizes the role of exclusive voluntary
associations in the amelioration of conflict, Cowell-Meyers asserts
that voluntary organizations, if they are encouraged to do so as
they were in continental Europe in the late 19th century, can
provide the channels through which intense conflicts are managed.
Although exclusive mobilizations reinforce social cleavages,
careful handling may make them constructive political formations
that allow for the channeling of differences. Of particular
interest to scholars, students, and other researchers involved with
peace and conflict resolution, religion and politics, and the
history of modern Ireland and Germany.
