{"product_id":"from-armed-struggle-to-political-graham-spencer-9781441140647","title":"From Armed Struggle to Political Struggle: Republican Tradition and Transformation in Northern Ireland","description":"This is the first book to comprehensively examine the shifts that have informed republican tradition and transformation from the beginning of the \"Troubles\" in Northern Ireland until the final stages of the peace process. Using a combination of empirical research and literature, the book addresses Northern Irish republican identity through the influences of imagination, history and Catholicism before it charts the processes of decision-making and management that shaped the transition from militarism to politics. Drawing from interview material from a wide range of actors and key players the book considers the challenges that political republicanism has worked to overcome and concludes that ongoing political development will require a less acute, more ambiguous communication of values based on pragmatism and compromise, rather than the continued articulation of principles and convictions that sustained the armed struggle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA unique work, \u003ci\u003eFrom Armed Struggle to Political Struggle\u003c\/i\u003e is essential for students and researchers in Irish politics, conflict resolution, and security studies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Graham Spencer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1441140646\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781441140647\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/18\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Graham Spencer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44123641839871,"sku":"9781441140647","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f7d046da-5dd2-41ca-b83d-30adbdaced47.jpg?v=1687432017","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-armed-struggle-to-political-graham-spencer-9781441140647","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
