Political Conflict and Competition in Ireland
Tue, September 28, 6:00 to 7:30am PDT (6:00 to 7:30am PDT), TBASession Submission Type: Virtual Created Panel
Session Description
Conflict is at the heart of politics. Sometimes, that conflict turns violent, as in Northern Ireland during the Troubles. At other times, it is channeled into healthy forms of political competition, as in the ordinary realm of party politics. This panel explores several dimensions of conflict and competition in Ireland, north and south. Among the factors to be explored is the role of religion in conflict, the impact of social media on the changing landscape of political competition, and the expanded role of women in political competition.
