As highlighted by Finlayson, in this special issue on (Northern) Ireland, the dominant agenda in terms of political identity is still defined by rival and atavistic nationalisms. In many ways what can be concluded is that the ‘Peace Process' cannot, at least in the short to medium term, resolve the nature and grip of sectarianism over (Northern) Irish society. What in effect remains is a process of managing disunity and the opposing nationalisms which fasten and underpin socio-economic, political and cultural friction. Part of this process of managing a highly conflictual society has been the mobilisation of political inducements, material impetus and models of economic progress.
