The Dynamics of Conflict in Northern Ireland: Power, Conflict and Emancipation
"The bulk of their book is an exhaustive analysis of the causes of the present conflict, and it is full of insights; they draw as well on the intimidating body of literature the conflict has spawned."   Washington Times"The Dynamics of Conflict in Northern Ireland is essential reading for those seeking to understand both the specific problems of Northern Ireland and the general character of interethnic conflict.  The footnotes and bibliography alone are an invaluable guide to contemporary approaches.  The authors, from contrasting backgrounds, provide a lucid, up-to-date and well-informed analysis of the historical, political, economic and cultural dimensions of the problem.  They discuss the European and American connection as well as the more immediate British and Irish context.  Their suggestions for an 'emancipatory approach' may well indicate the most practicable strategy for a possible solution.  All in all, this book is an invaluable and illuminating analysis of an extraordinarily intricate and intractable problem."   Professor Hugh Kearney, University of Pittsburgh
