"An excellent analysis of the complex dynamics of inclusion in
post-conflict societies: theoretically grounded, empirically rich,
and with a well-informed set of policy-relevant insights and
recommendations with implications far beyond the cases of Kosovo
and Northern Ireland."Stefan Wolff, University of Birmingham, UK
"Does the promotion of political accommodation between the
contending parties in an ethno-nationalist conflict disadvantage
other groups in society? This important question is at the heart of
Michael Potter's nuanced study of post-settlement parliaments in
Kosovo and Northern Ireland, in which he probes their record of
representativeness, focusing on gender and ethnicity. His
meticulous research, drawing on extensive fieldwork, shows that the
domination of the parliaments by parties aligned to the conflict
does indeed tend to marginalise other identities. His findings
provide plenty of food for thought for practitioners in the field
of conflict resolution. In particular, they underline the need for
care in the design of institutional arrangements for deeply divided
societies, so as to minimise potentially negative consequences that
priority for accommodation and reconciliation may have for other
issues and for the practice of inclusion."Adrian Guelke, Queen's
University Belfast, UK "Identity is a central organising principle
of politics in the 21st century. In this impressive book Michael
Potter shows that a focus on gender and minority ethnic identities
in newly-formed post-conflict assemblies provides a unique litmus
test of the robustness of democratic politics. He analyses the
cases of Kosovo and Northern Ireland with rigour and considerable
insight. This book makes a highly original and lasting contribution
to theory and practice in post-conflict settings world-wide."Yvonne
Galligan, Dublin Institute of Technology, Ireland This book
examines inclusion in post-conflict legislatures, using Northern
Ireland and Kosovo as case studies and gender and minority
ethnicity as indicators. The analysis uses an adapted framework
developed by Yvonne Galligan and Sara Clavero to measure inclusion
across a range of factors associated with deliberative democratic
principles. The logic is that political systems designed to
accommodate communities in conflict will prioritise certain
identities over others. The aim of the book is to investigate how
identities not directly associated with a conflict fare in a
political system designed to manage identities in conflict. The
book looks comparatively at the conflicts in Kosovo and Northern
Ireland, then discusses approaches to conflict management,
describing how political institutions were designed in those
contexts. The themes of women and minority identities in those
conflicts are then explored with a view to examining the extent of
inclusion in the Northern Ireland and Kosovo Assemblies.
