Political Violence in Context - Time, Space and Milieu (Hardcover): Lorenzo Bosi, Niall O Dochartaigh, Daniela Pisoiu Political Violence in Context - Time, Space and Milieu (Hardcover)
Lorenzo Bosi, Niall O Dochartaigh, Daniela Pisoiu
R2,563 Discovery Miles 25 630 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

While much of the work in this field focuses on individual psychology or radical ideology, Bosi, O Dochartaigh, Pisoiu and others take a fresh, innovative look at the importance of context in generating mobilisation and shaping patterns of violence. The cases dealt with range widely across space and time, from Asia, Africa and Europe to the Americas, and from the Irish rebellion of 1916 through the Marxist insurgency of Sendero Luminoso to the `Invisible Commando' of Cote d'Ivoire. They encompass a wide range of types of violence, from separatist guerrillas through Marxist insurgents and Islamist militants to nationalist insurrectionists and the distinctive forms of urban violence that have emerged at the boundary between crime and politics. Chapters offer new theoretical perspectives on the decisive importance of the spatial and temporal contexts, and supportive milieux, in which parties to conflict are embedded, and from which they draw strength.

Dynamics of Political Change in Ireland - Making and Breaking a Divided Island (Paperback): Niall O Dochartaigh, Katy Hayward,... Dynamics of Political Change in Ireland - Making and Breaking a Divided Island (Paperback)
Niall O Dochartaigh, Katy Hayward, Elizabeth Meehan
R1,497 Discovery Miles 14 970 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book examines the interrelated dynamics of political action, ideology and state structures in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, emphasising the wider UK and European contexts in which they are nested. It makes a significant and unique contribution to wider European and international debates over state and nation and contested borders, looking at the dialectic between political action and institutions, examining party politics, ideological struggle and institutional change. It goes beyond the binary approaches to Irish politics and looks at the deep shifts associated with major socio-political changes, such as immigration, gender equality and civil society activism. Interdisciplinary in approach, it includes contributions from across history, law, sociology and political science and draws on a rich body of knowledge and original research data. This text will be of key interest to students and scholars of Irish Politics, Society and History, British Politics, Peace and Conflict studies, Nationalism, and more broadly to European Politics.

From Civil Rights to Armalites - Derry and the Birth of the Irish Troubles (Paperback, 2nd ed. 2005): Niall O Dochartaigh From Civil Rights to Armalites - Derry and the Birth of the Irish Troubles (Paperback, 2nd ed. 2005)
Niall O Dochartaigh
R1,519 Discovery Miles 15 190 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

"From Civil Rights to Armalites" traces and analyzes the escalation of conflict in Northern Ireland from the first civil rights marches to the verge of full-scale civil war in 1972, focusing on the city of Derry. It explains how a peaceful civil rights campaign gave way to increasing violence, how the IRA became a major political force, and how the British army became a major party to the conflict. It provides the essential context for understanding the events of Bloody Sunday and a new chapter brings significant new material to the public debate around the Bloody Sunday Inquiry.

Deniable Contact - Back-Channel Negotiation in Northern Ireland (Paperback): Niall O Dochartaigh Deniable Contact - Back-Channel Negotiation in Northern Ireland (Paperback)
Niall O Dochartaigh
R1,230 Discovery Miles 12 300 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Deniable Contact provides the first full-length study of the secret negotiations and back-channels that were used in repeated efforts to end the Northern Ireland conflict. The analysis is founded on a rich store of historical evidence, including the private papers of key Irish Republican leaders and British politicians, recently released papers from national archives in Dublin and London, and the papers of Brendan Duddy, the intermediary who acted as the primary contact between the IRA and the British government on several occasions over a span of two decades, including papers that have not yet been made publicly available. This documentary evidence, combined with original interviews with politicians, mediators, civil servants, and Republicans, allows a vivid picture to emerge of the complex maneuvering at this intersection. Deniable Contact offers a textured account that extends our understanding of the distinctive dynamics of negotiations conducted in secret and the conditions conducive to the negotiated settlement of conflict. It disrupts and challenges some conventional notions about the conflict in Northern Ireland, offering a fresh analysis of the political dynamics and the intra-party struggles that sustained violent conflict and prevented settlement for so long. It draws on theories of negotiation and mediation to understand why efforts to end the conflict through back-channel negotiations repeatedly failed before finally succeeding in the 1990s. It challenges the view that the conflict persisted because of irreconcilable political ideologies and argues that the parties to conflict were much more open to compromise than the often-intransigent public rhetoric suggested.
