SynopsisThis book is an original case study of how memory has driven and challenged the Irish republican transition from armed conflict to constitutional politics that culminated in the acceptance of policing in the Northern Ireland state., This volume is an in-depth study of the role memory has played in shaping the wider Irish republican debate on policing in Northern Ireland. Based on interview data drawn from community activists, political activists and former combatants from across a broad spectrum within modern Irish republicanism, this original and fascinating book examines how individual and collective; memories of policing shaped ideological positions, interpretations of transitional processes, 'moving on' processes with former enemies and views of post-conflict police reform. It is a valuable contribution to Irish history, Irish politics and memory studies. Book jacket., This book represents the first interdisciplinary study of how memory has driven and challenged the political transition of Irish republicanism from armed conflict to constitutional politics through endorsing policing and the rule of law in the North of Ireland. Locating itself within memory studies, critical criminology and transitional justice, this book uses original interviews with political activists, community workers and former combatants from across the spectrum of modern Irish republicanism to draw out how the past frames internal tensions within the Irish republican constituency as those traditionally opposed to state policing structures opt to buy into them as part of a wider transitional process in post-conflict Northern Ireland. The book critiques the challenges of making peace with the enemy against a backdrop of communal narratives and memories of historic injustice, counterinsurgency policing and human rights abuse that do not simply disappear when war turns to peace. Through a rich empirical basis the book offers an insight into these challenges from the perspective of those who were, and remain, in the thick of the Irish republican debate on policing. In doing so it provides an acute insight into the role that individual and collective memory plays in reshaping ideological outlooks, understanding processes of political transition, contextualising 'moving on' processes with former enemies and conditioning views of post-conflict police reform., An Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool University Press website and through Knowledge Unlatched.
