Grainne Kelly and I (Brandon Hamber), in our capacity as Research Associates to Democratic Dialogue (one of my other affiliations other than OPSI), have finally finished the final and large report on our study on reconciliation in Northern Ireland. The report is entitled: A Place for Reconciliation? Conflict and Locality in Northern Ireland.
The report includes our definition of reconciliation that has now been adopted by the EU PEACE II Programme and it explains the definition and the research that supports it in detail.
The research for the report was conducted in three case-study areas in Northern Ireland, where interviews were conducted with elected representatives, council officials and NGO representatives. It found ambivalence among practitioners on the ground towards the communalist politics of the council chamber and, amid some confusion as to the meaning of reconciliation, a willingness to embrace the definition we developed.
