The role of identity in ethnic conflict peace building in Northern Ireland

由于COVID，研究受到抑制，但收集了大量数据。我从14名爱尔兰共和军前囚犯那里收集了数据，这总共约30小时/200 A4页的成绩单数据。数据被用来在全球研究杂志上发表一篇同行评审的文章，研究伊拉共和军前囚犯如何利用和平建设来加强陷入僵局的爱尔兰和平进程。目前正在分析数据，以了解和平建设在民族中的作用。在冲突后局势中改变政治身份。使用Todds的个人身份创新概念，人们发现，和平建设团体间的工作结果是参与者增加了他们的种族群体的边界，以包括与他们发生冲突的其他种族群体的元素。

Due to COVID, research was inhibited but substantial data was collected. I was able to collect data from 14 Irish Republican Army ex-prisoners, which totals around 30 hours/200 A4 pages of transcript data.Data was used to publish a peer reviewed article in the Journal of Global Studies looking at how IRA ex-prisoners used peacebuilding to enhance the Irish peace process which is in a stalemate.Data is now being analyzed in order to understand the role of peacebuilding in ethno-political identity change in a post-conflict situation. Using Todds concept of Individual Identity Innovation, it has been found that peace building intergroup work results in participants increasing the boundaries of their ethnic group to encompass elements of the other ethnic group with whom they were in conflict.
