Summary/Abstract |
How and under what conditions of political and cultural transformation does long-run majority-minority communal conflict come to an end? What is the role of change in identity, power relations and constructions of community? This article looks at three cases of religious and ethno-religious conflict: Catholic-Protestant relations in France, the Republic of Ireland and the island of Ireland. It employs a systemic theory of communal conflict and a path dependence model of persistence over time. It argues that an end to conflict depends on undoing structural and cultural lock-in, and identifies the way in which this has-or has not-happened in each case.

Summary/Abstract |
The study of minorities is central to research in ethnicity and nationalism. But there are cases where the precise nature of the minority is not easy to determine. One view of Southern Irish Protestants is that in the decades after independence they transformed themselves (or were transformed) from British nationals to Irish nationals or, alternatively, from a British ethnic to an Irish religious minority. This paper argues that treating the (past) British dimension of Irish Protestant identity as ethnic or national misconceives it and overlooks the historically deep Irish context of Protestant identity. One consequence of this is the neglect of the specifically Irish roots of residual tensions in Catholic-Protestant relationships. The themes of the paper are exemplified with case material drawn from research on Protestants and Catholics in rural West Cork.
