Presents the case for an exciting new research program in the
social sciences based on the theory of recognition developed by
Axel Honneth and others in recent years. The theory provides a
frame for revealing new insights about conflicts and the potential
of recognition theory to guide just resolutions of these conflicts
is also explored.
This volume brings together a range of theoretical responses to
issues in Irish politics. Its organising ideas: recognition,
equality, and democracy set the terms of political debate within
both jurisdictions. For some, there are significant tensions
between the grammar of recognition, concerned with esteem, respect
and the symbolic aspects of social life, and the logic of equality,
which is primarily concerned with the distribution of material
resources and formal opportunities, while for others, tensions are
produced rather by certain interpretations of these ideas while
alternative readings may, by contrast, serve as the basis for a
systematic account of social and political inequality. The essays
in this collection will explore these interconnections with
reference to the politics of Northern Ireland and the Republic. The
Republic has gone through a period in which its constitution was
the focus for a liberal politics aimed at securing personal
autonomy, while Northern Ireland's political landscape has been
shaped by the problem of securing political autonomy and democratic
legitimacy. While the papers address key questions facing each
particular polity, the issues themselves have resonances for
politics on each side of the border.

In the context of a new global order where the logic of the market
reigns virtually unopposed, there is a clear need for original
thinking that might reinvigorate a progressive political project.
