Civic identity and public space, focussing on Belfast, and bringing
together the work of a historian and two social scientists, offers
a new perspective on the sometimes lethal conflicts over parades,
flags and other issues that continue to disrupt political life in
Northern Ireland. It examines the emergence during the nineteenth
century of the concept of public space and the development of new
strategies for its regulation, the establishment, the new
conditions created by the emergence in 1920 of a Northern Ireland
state, of a near monopoly of public space enjoyed by Protestants
and unionists, and the break down of that monopoly in more recent
decades. Today policy makers and politicians struggle to devise a
strategy for the management of public space in a divided city,
while endeavouring to promote a new sense of civic identity that
will transcend long-standing sectarian and political divisions. --
