The articles in this special issue, drawn from a workshop hosted by
the Institute of Governance, Queen's University, Belfast,
explicitly engage with and challenge conventional academic analyses
in order to confront the ways in which the conflict on Northern
Ireland has traditionally been represented and understood. Part of
the reason for adopting this approach is because it is suggested
that to a certain extent, academic analyses have defined the
parameters of the conflict which has necessarily had implications
for the shape of ensuing solutions. A further claim is that the
persistent historical and political search for causes and solutions
may be constitutive of the problems that conventional analysts seek
to resolve. The articles in the first part introduce and
problematize traditional analyses of the conflict. Additionally,
these essays explain alternative approaches offering other ways of
thinking about how the 'problem' of Northern Ireland has been
constituted. The second part comprises empirically focused essays,
each either engaging with or confronting the issue of the liberal
hegemony that defines most analyses of the conflict. The final
essay returns to more explicitly re-consider how the 'problem' of
Northern Ireland has been theorized, represented and understood.
This book was previously published as a special issue of Critical
Review of International Social and Political Philosophy.
