Ideologies and identities are central to the organisation of
political life and political conflict, yet most empirical studies
tend to obscure their significance. This failure to take the
politics of identity seriously arises from an absence of adequate
theory and method. This 1996 study draws on both social theory and
psychological (especially psychoanalytic) theory in an attempt to
overcome these lacunae. First, it develops a novel theory and
method for the analysis of ideology and identity. Second, it
develops a detailed analysis of the politics of identity in
Northern Ireland through focusing upon Unionist ideology and
Unionist identities in crisis. The political conflict within
Unionism is analysed through a consideration of the variety of
unconscious rules drawn upon by political actors and citizens in
the making of Northern Ireland's history of the late 1980s.
