Jenseits konkurrierender Nationalismen? Die Aussichten des Nordirlandabkommens

In: Neue soziale Bewegungen: Forschungsjournal, Band 12, Heft 2, S. 36-44

Abstract

In considering the success chances of the 1998 Northern Ireland Agreement, one must take into account the role of British nationalism. A lasting agreement will depend on the development of closer ties between Northern Ireland & the Republic of Ireland. The conflict-mitigating potential of the consociational institutions provided for in the agreement may be endangered, both by an underestimation of British nationalism & by the unequal distribution of power resources between the partners to the agreement. 11 References.
