Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2013Catholic police officers in Northern Ireland
Voices out of silence
by Mary Gethins
This exciting book, newly available in paperback, aims to establish the historical and cultural reasons why there was only a participation rate of 7-8% by the Catholic population in policing Northern Ireland when the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) came into being in 2001, even though Catholics constituted 46% of the total population. It also aims to ascertain whether or not implementation of the Patten Commission's recommendation to recruit to the PSNI on a 50: 50 basis between Catholics and non-Catholics has resulted in greater representation and what the political and cultural obstacles might be in transforming policing from meeting colonial model criteria to those of the liberal model advocated by Patten. In doing this, author Mary Gethins uses a wealth of historical data to show that there has for a long time been a problematic relationship between the native Irish Catholic population and the police, and the reasons for Catholic under-representation in the police force can be largely put down to this legacy. A survey of Catholic police officers focusing on family history, reasons for joining the police and sacrifices perceived to have been made in joining a largely Protestant organisation provide a strong empirical evidence base from which Gethins draws illuminating lessons. The work is informed by sociological theory to show that Catholic police officers are atypical of the Catholic population at large in Northern Ireland, and best explained by the concept of fragmented identity. ;

Picture storybooks2020What a Wonderful World This Can Be
by Mary-An
What a Wonderful World This Can Be is a ground-breaking picture book about how small acts can have big consequences. Author Mary-An tackles large topics like sustainability, bullying, and poverty, as well as incredibly heart-melting themes of kindness, bravery, and persistence. In this book, a little girl wonders at the wonderful world that is all around her. Although, she is slightly put out when she sees someone begging for food, or oil in the ocean, or even a bully at school—what can she do? One thing at a time! "One piece of trash picked out of the sea, one word of kindness to someone in need, one word to a bully, one hug to a friend, a thing one by one, though the things never end."

April 2007Neue und alte Kriege
Organisierte Gewalt im Zeitalter der Globalisierung
by Mary Kaldor, Michael Adrian, Bettina Engels
Mary Kaldor war die erste, die über „neue Kriege“ als Schattenseiten der Globalisierung nachgedacht hat. Ihr Standardwerk belegt an zahlreichen Fällen die These, daß sich seit dem Ende der achtziger Jahre in Osteuropa, auf dem Balkan, in Afrika, Südostasien und zuletzt im Irak eine neue Form organisierter Gewalt, ein neuer Typ von Krieg, herausgebildet hat. Dieser neue Krieg entsteht in Situationen, in denen sich das staatliche Gewaltmonopol aufgelöst hat und in die Hände von paramilitärischen Organisationen übergegangen ist. Sie unterscheiden sich von den alten durch ihre Ziele, die Methode der Gewaltanwendung und die Finanzierung. Ihr Ziel besteht in dem, was Mary Kaldor „Politik der Identität“ nennt: all jene zu attackieren, die nicht zur eigenen Nation, Religion, Sprachgemeinschaft oder zum eigenen Klan gehören.

Political science & theoryJuly 2015Ireland and migration in the twenty-first century
by Mary Gilmartin
Migration is one of the key issues in Ireland today. This book provides a new and original approach to understanding contemporary Irish migration and immigration, showing that they are processes that need to be understood together rather than separately. It uses a wide range of data - from statistical reports to in-depth qualitative studies - to show these connections. The book focuses on four key themes - work, social connections, culture and belonging - that are common to the experiences of immigrants, emigrants and internal migrants. It includes a wide selection of case studies, such as the global GAA, the campaign for emigrant voting, and the effects of migration on families. Clearly written and accessible, this book is an invaluable resource for students and scholars of Irish migration. It also has broader relevance, as it suggests a new approach to the study of migration nationally and internationally.
