a migrant ethic of care? negotiating care and caring among migrant workers
in London's low-pay economy

Kavita Datta, Cathy McIlwaine, Yara Evans, Joanna Herbert, Jon May and Jane
Wills

Abstract

A care deficit is clearly evident in global cities such as London and is
attributable to an ageing population, the increased employment of
native-born women, prevalent gender ideologies that continue to exempt men
from much reproductive work, as well as the failure of the state to provide
viable alternatives. However, while it is now acknowledged that migrant
women, and to a lesser extent, migrant men, step in to provide care in
cities such as London, there is less research on how this shapes the nature,
politics and ethics of care. Drawing upon empirical research with low-paid
migrant workers employed as domiciliary care providers in London, this paper
explores the emergence of a distinct migrant ethic of care that is
critically shaped by the caring work that migrant women and men perform.

No war, no peace: Why so many peace processes fail to deliver peace

Roger Mac Ginty1

Abstract

Many societies emerging from civil war can be described as experiencing 'no
war, no peace' situations. Despite a ceasefire or peace accord, these
societies may continue to be mired in insecurity, chronic poverty and the
persistence of the factors that sparked and sustained the civil war. Yet the
post-Cold War period has also witnessed massive peace-support interventions
aimed at shoring up peace accords and post-peace accord states. This article
identifies and conceptualises the 'liberal peace' as the formulaic western
peacebuilding vehicle wheeled out in response to civil war and peace
processes. It argues that the liberal peace is often inflexible,
ethnocentric, ministers to conflict manifestations rather than causes, and
is unable to address the underlying factors contributing to armed conflict
in deeply divided societies. It is the structural factors behind the liberal
peace that explain why so many peace processes fail to deliver peace.

Learning from the past or laundering history? Consociational narratives and
state intervention in Northern Ireland

Cillian McGrattana

aInstitute for British-Irish Studies, School of Politics and International
Relations, University College, Dublin, Ireland. E-mail:

Topof page
Abstract

Consociational accounts of the Northern Ireland conflict claim that
successive British governments gradually learned how to manage the ethnic
divisions, and encourage power sharing. This article examines recently
released archival material from the Labour governments of Wilson and
Callaghan (1974-1979) that reveal that the reality was much more subtle. It
argues that owing to an essentially teleological approach, the
consociational policy learning narrative distorts the complicated dynamics
of British state intervention in Northern Ireland. In fact, rather than an
overarching vision of conflict management, government policymaking was based
on a multiplicity of voices and options. Not only did Labour inherit policy
legacies from the previous Conservative government, but also the continued
ambiguity in state intervention was itself self-reinforcing and effectively
contributed to the entrenchment of inter-communal division. The article
concludes by highlighting a fundamental implication of the consociational
approach - namely, that it serves to recycle dominant understandings of the
Northern Ireland conflict regardless of the historical record.

Britain, Ireland and the Second World War
Author: Ian S. Wood
Publication Date: Feb 2010
Dimensions: 234 x 156 mm
Extent: 248 pages
Series: Societies at War

For Britain the Second World War exists in popular memory as a time of
heroic sacrifice, survival and ultimate victory over Fascism. In the =
Irish
state the years 1939-1945 are still remembered simply as 'the =
Emergency'.
Eire was one of many small states which in 1939 chose not to stay out of =
the
war but one of the few able to maintain its non-belligerency as a =
policy.
How much this owed to Britain's military resolve or to the political =
skills
of =C9amon de Valera is a key question which this new book will explore. =
It
will also examine the tensions Eire's policy created in its relations =
with
Winston Churchill and with the United States. The author also explores
propaganda, censorship and Irish state security and the degree to which =
it
involves secret co-operation with Britain. Disturbing issues are also =
raised
like the IRA's relationship to Nazi Germany and ambivalent Irish =
attitudes
to the Holocaust.

Drawing upon both published and unpublished sources, this book =
illustrates
the war's impact on people on both sides of the border and shows how it
failed to resolve sectarian problems in Northern Ireland while raising
higher the barriers of misunderstanding between it and the Irish state
across its border.

This is an odd one. Why did it turn up in our alerts? I had to search
further, after taking in that subtitle - which most databases will not
record.

Its significance for us is spelt out in the opening sentences.

'The image of school girls, aged between 4 and 11, marching stoically
through screaming protestors on the way to their 1st day of school conjures
up memories of school desegregation in the American South - parents crouched
protectively over their heads in an attempt to block the epithets and thrown
objects from touching their terrified kids. This event, which lasted more
than 6 months, did not take place in the deep past but, rather, occurred in
2001 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Whereas the images were shockingly
captured by the international media, the event also provides
a valuable example of third-sector involvement in providing essential public
services when the state was unable to intervene.'

Thereafter the article offers a closely argued section written in Nonprofit
and Voluntary Sector Quarterly -ese. This is actually useful when you get
your head round specific jargons and approaches. And then a very useful
outline of the Holy Cross Dispute.

A lot of good work has gone into this article.

The Case of the Holy Cross Dispute
Brent Never

University of Illinois at Springfield

Third-sector organizations provide essential services, but not all types of
organizations operate equally well given different intensities of public
problems. This article considers the need to create three-dimensional maps
of the sector matching populations of service providers with the intensities
of public problems where they operate. It does so by providing a framework
for understanding third-sector organizational service provision. It is
illustrated by following a case of essential service provision in the face
of state failure. It concludes by highlighting the utility of
three-dimensional maps for policy makers.

A chapel is a small church, after chapelle (Fr.), and the term applies
to whichever ecclesiastical edifice is deemed to be the smaller in a
given community or locale. In the predominantly Protestant territories
Catholics and low church dissenters go to chapel while Presbyterians and
Anglicans go to Church. Catholics reserve the right to call their often
munificent house of God a church in a point of dignity but many are
happy with 'chapel' as a more affectionate term and one with definite
historical associations - not infinitely removed from the Mass rock.
Personally when I speak of the chapel I am referring to the pretty
little room adjacent to the ballroom. It is somewhat bigger than the
bathroom but smaller than the kitchen.=20

Michael,

My experience relates to Northern Ireland from the 1950s onwards,
although I've lived in Australia since the 1970s, so a little unsure
about recent decades. In my childhood, the local Catholic church was
always known as the 'chapel'. I suspect this usage arose at a time
(19th cent?) when any church other than the parish church (=3D CoI) was
known as a chapel. (And that was not just in Ireland) However, in my
time, the local Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist churches, plus the CoI,
were known as churches; only the Catholic church was called a chapel. I
always felt this was a put down but one that most Catholics seemed to
accept, and use without thinking. As far as I can judge, that's still
the case.

Another related point: rarely if ever did a Catholic church in NI
announce its presence by way of a notice board in front of the church.
Whereas every other church in a town would proclaim times of services,
names of vicars/ministers etc, the Catholic church kept such information
away from public view.

Dear Friends,

I just started reading what seems to be a very engaging article by Cara
Delay in the current New Hibernia Review. She mentions Catholics in
Ireland referring to their houses of worship as chapels and using
churches to designate CofI buildings. I had always thought that the
case, but Professor Delay's wording suggests that this was a matter of
preference rather than as I thought a codified distinction. I would be
grateful to anyone on the list who could clarify for me how the terms
were used, when the distinction came into existence, and when it ceased
to be applied. Thanks for your help.

Dear All,

My sense of vernacular usage is of 'chapel' being associated with Protestant
places of worship and 'Church' being Catholic (St. John's Church, Holy Cross
Church, St. Brendan's Church), but the Protestant place of worship was also
St. John's Church.

Chapel also referred to particular places of worship within convents or
Christian Brothers Houses/Schools (the Convent Chapel, the Brothers'
Chapel, the School Chapel, the Hospital Chapel) - but these tended to be
smaller in size and not generally open to the public expect on specific
occasions.


Not sure if that helps.

Best wishes,
Brian

The United States, Northern Ireland and the 'War on Terror': A Reply to
Christopher P. Cunningham

Author: Mary Alice C. Clancy a
Affiliation: a University of Exeter, UK

Published in: Irish Political Studies, Volume 25, Issue 1 February 2010 ,
pages 123 - 129

Abstract
In his article 'Northern Ireland and the "War on Terror": Political
Perceptions' (Irish Political Studies, 24(3) (September 2009), pp. 285-302),
Christopher P. Cunningham attempts to gauge the impact of the 11 September
2001 attacks on the peace process in Northern Ireland. Whilst his
conclusions regarding the event's non-effect on British policy are broadly
correct, his assumption that UK support for the United States' 'War on
Terror' led the US to refrain from contradicting British policy in Northern
Ireland is not. By acknowledging the structural autonomy granted to US
special envoys to Northern Ireland, this article demonstrates that
disagreements between US and British officials were common throughout the
post-Agreement period. The article also shows that, pace Cunningham, British
officials failed to prevent US Special Envoy Richard Haass from promoting
policy in Northern Ireland with which they disagreed precisely because of
the 'War on Terror'. Therefore, this article will suggest that Cunningham's
interpretive error could have been avoided by engaging a full literature
review and perhaps employing a different methodological design for his
study.

Northern Ireland and the 'War on Terror': A Reply to Mary Alice Clancy

pages 131 - 133


OPENING PARAGRAPH
In support of a collegial and scholarly quest for knowledge, I want to
commend Mary Alice Clancy for her contribution, and her work generally,
which clearly has added to the existing literature on Northern Ireland and
promotes our understanding of the peace and political processes during the
years of the Bush administration. In reading her reply to my original
article (Cunningham, 2009), I am troubled by a number of misinterpretations,
one of which is fundamental. Clancy notes in her introduction that my
failure to advance a 'nuanced understanding of the role of US special
envoys' leads me to 'mischaracterise the effect that the "War on Terror" had
upon US policy towards Northern Ireland' (Clancy, 2010: 124). Unfortunately,
it appears that she has misinterpreted the entire focus of my study that is
implicit in the title of my article. As I make clear in my introduction, the
primary aim is to understand 'perceptions held by the political actors of
both political communities in Northern Ireland' (Cunningham, 2009: 285,
emphasis added). My aim was not in any way to characterise the effect of the
war against terrorism on US policy towards Northern Ireland.

Elizabeth,
Glad you've mentioned the term "chapel at ease" because its been on mind
ever since this chapel/church discussion began. Where I live in rural Meath
"chapel at ease" generally refers to the smaller or secondary chapel within
a given parish. Most rural parishes have two chapels. I guess the same
applies to most urban parishes. As for the derivation of the term, I can
only guess: to me it suggests a chapel of convenience for the wayfarer or -
especially in a rural context - a chapel within walking distance for the
local populace in a large parish. Any other ideas?

Just to complicate matters, I'd raise the terms 'chapel of ease' and 'meeting
house'. My 19th-century Thom's Directories of Dublin have lists of Churches and
Chapels. CofI are identified as churches, but there's also a list of 'Roman Catholic
Parish Churches' - I'm using the 1850 Directory. There's a separate section for
chapels that lists, for example, the Chapel Royal at Dublin Castle and Trinity
College Chapel, plus various Mariners' chapels, but there are also a number of
'chapels of ease'. I'm not sure what they are. Then there's another separate section
that lists 'meeting houses', for Presbyterians, Independents, Wesleyan Methodists,
Moravians and Quakers, but includes a 'Baptist Chapel' and a 'Welch Chapel' - and
last in this section is a synagogue in Mary's Abbey. But, of course, Dublin is not
necessarily Ireland in terms of language usage - or anything else.

As for Irish-language terms, my, admittedly small, Irish dictionary says that
'teampall', translated as 'temple', refers to a medieval church or a Protestant
church and churchyard. For 'church' and 'chapel' it gives the same terms, though in
a different order. I'm not sure if the order is significant. The words are
'eaglais', 'seipeal' and 'teach pobail'. For 'church' 'eaglais' comes first, while
for 'chapel' it's last.

This note will interest a number of Ir-D members. It identifies Aubrey

at the ways in which the Tales have been used as a source by historians, and
question such use.

Robert A. Emery

Albany Law School Library

TALES OF THE R.I.C. are a series of anonymous short stories that appeared
first in Blackwood's Magazine in 1920 and 1921 and then in book form in the
latter year.1 Strongly unionist and anti-republican, they are based on
episodes in the Royal Irish Constabulary's struggle against the Irish
Republican Army during what Lloyd George described as the Irish 'police war'
of 1919-21. Writers on the war, both popular2 and scholarly,3 have cited the
Tales; but the value of the stories as an historical source cannot be
assessed until its anonymous author is identified. The Tales themselves-some
tragic, some funny in a sinister way, some just plain odd-provide no clue to
the author's identity.4 They begin around the spring of 1920, when the Royal
Irish Constabulary (RIC), 'after about as bad a hammering as any force ever
received, were beginning to get their tails up again'; they end with the
truce of July 1921 when the force, betrayed by its political masters in
London, is forced to lay down its arms. 'The day will come in Ireland when
men will pray to God for a sight of the good old green uniform of the R.I.C.
And it will be too late.'5

Only in 2003, with the publication of the memoirs of the Irish civil servant
A. P. Magill, could the author of the Tales be identified. When discussing
republican hunger strikes in Belfast prison in the early 1920s, Magill
mentioned the prison governor, 'Major Long (author of Tales of the RIC).'6
This 'Major Long' was Aubrey Waithman Long, born in Buxton in 1875 and
educated in Marlborough College.7 At the time of his marriage in 1900, he
was in business as a brewer.8 The family had longstanding Irish connections;
Long frequently vacationed there...

Responding to Gun Crime in Ireland

Abstract

From stereotypical views of Ireland as a peaceful and 'low crime' society,
the media and policy makers now report the worsening of gun crime, in
particular crimes of homicide committed by firearm. Despite this sometimes
hyperbolic popular commentary, serious and fatal gun crime has indeed
increased. In reacting through extraordinary legal measures, the Irish state
adopts an unduly narrow perspective, predicated on a rational actor model;
what this paper seeks to do is put forward two more profitable and
persuasive means of analysis, by focusing on social deprivation and the
expression of masculinity.


Key Words: gun crime . state of emergency . masculinity . social deprivation
