Reviews
'This study is both important and timely. It develops a theoretical framework for the empirical comparison of the complex value patterns in Ireland, North and South, and demonstrates the great importance of the two ethno-national traditions for social and political conflict. However, it also finds elements of a value consensus in other areas such as the family and sexual morality, and a higher level of confidence in political institutions in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland than elsewhere in Europe. These results come as an encouragement for citizens and politicians alike to carry on with the process of peaceful development. The book is a must for all interested in value research and in Ireland.'
Hans-Dieter Klingemann, Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin für Sozialforschung (WZB – Social Science Research Centre, Berlin)
'This book makes splendid use of a wide range of survey research on attitudes to major issues in both societies on the island of Ireland. The systematic comparison of attitudes and values between the Republic and Northern Ireland and between both of these and a wide range of European societies is particularly valuable and is a major contribution to the literature.'
Anthony Heath, Nuffield College, Oxford
'This is a magisterial work on the social and political values of the New Ireland, by three of the country's best social scientists. It is required reading for anyone interested in the social dynamics of Ireland, North and South.'
