Humanities & Social SciencesNovember 2010Devolution and the governance of Northern Ireland
by Colin Knox
This book offers the first account of what the First Minister, Peter Robinson, describes as the most settled period of devolution in Northern Ireland for almost forty years. It traces the tortuous path to devolved government, the political instability which constantly threatened the institutions, and since May 2007 the bedding down of devolution and its impact so far on the people of Northern Ireland. The book parallels accounts of devolved government in Scotland and Wales. For years Northern Ireland has been the subject of academic enquiry relating to political, constitutional and security issues. Now as a post-conflict society political parties which for years engaged in the politics of antagonism must now redirect their efforts to delivering public policies that will improve the quality of people's daily lives. This has not come easily to them. This book is therefore the first study which looks at devolved power sharing governance arrangements in Northern Ireland and a sequel to Derek Birrell's book Direct Rule and the Governance of Northern Ireland. Manchester: Manchester University Press (2009) The book contains chapters on the key governance institutions: the civil service, local government, non-departmental public bodies, and the vibrant third sector in Northern Ireland. It examines in some detail the major review of public administration ongoing since 2002 and the more recent public services modernising agenda. Importantly, given the sectarian divisions which have segregated every aspect of life in Northern Ireland, the book asks the key question whether it is possible to reconcile the two communities or are they destined to live 'separate but equal' lives. Finally, the book considers topical issues which are at the early stages of implementation: community planning and central-local relations. This book will be of interest to students of devolution across the UK and beyond. It will also be relevant for those researchers working in the area of post-conflict societies. ;

Political structure & processesMay 2007Devolution and constitutional change in Northern Ireland
by Edited by Paul Carmichael, Colin Knox and Robert Osborne
This edited book, written by a collection of scholars with an interest in Northern Ireland, tracks its uneasy experience with devolution following the optimistic political period associated with the 1998 Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement. The volume brings together researchers from the Economic and Social Research Council's (ESRC) 'Devolution and Constitutional Change' Programme and other experts to record four key perspectives on Northern Ireland. First, it considers the inextricable link between devolution and constitutional developments. Second, it examines how the main political parties responded to devolution and the major challenges faced by society in moving beyond conflict (such as political symbolism, the role of women, equality and human rights issues). Third, it attempts to assess some of the workings of devolved government in its short-lived form or those seeded in devolution and carried on by direct rule ministers. Finally, Northern Irelands devolved government and associated institutions are located within the wider relationships with Westminster, the Republic of Ireland and Europe. This edited volume will be of interest to students of Irish politics and public policy, but more generally, from a comparative perspective, those with an interest in devolution and constitutional change. It may even assist politicians in Northern Ireland to reflect on the real potential to restore its devolved institutions and draw back from the brink of permanently copper-fastening 'direct rule' from Westminster.

Romantisch, prickelnd, zum Träumen schön - der neue Sommerroman von Bestsellerautorin Tanja Janz: voller Wellenglitzern, Nordseeträume und Liebesglück. Sommer am Meer, ein Praktikum in einem Naturschutzgebiet und eine WG ohne Eltern: Besser könnte Alicia sich ihre Ferien an der Nordsee in St. Peter-Ording gar nicht vorstellen. Mit den jungen Bewohnern aus der Leuchtturm-WG freundet sich Alicia schnell an. Nur was sie von Surfer Liam halten soll, weiß sie nicht. Er scheint nichts ernst zu nehmen und jagt dauernd der nächsten Welle hinterher. Doch bei gemeinsamen Wattwanderungen und Müllsammelaktionen überrascht Liam sie plötzlich mit seiner einfühlsamen Art und seiner Liebe zur Natur. Und obwohl Alicia sich geschworen hat, erst einmal die Finger von Jungs zu lassen, klopft ihr Herz in seiner Nähe mit einem Mal so laut wie die tosende Brandung. Aber ist das Prickeln zwischen ihnen stark genug, um alle Differenzen zu überwinden?
