Peace, reconciliation and a shared future: a policy shift or more of the same?
نویسنده
چکیده
Developments in the late 1990s, including paramilitary cease-fires and the advent (albeit, short-lived) of devolved Government, offered a new dispensation from which to appraise the community relations problem in Northern Ireland and advocate policy action. This paper considers an emergent policy framework entitled A Shared Future. Drawing on the experience of delivering better relations through education in Northern Ireland, it argues that whilst A Shared Future reflects progress in how the problem of community relations is defined, many uncritical assumptions are made about the potential of suggested actions to address problems of intergroup fear, mistrust and hostility.

متن کاملSafety I to Safety II: A Paradigm Shift or More Work as Imagined?; Comment on “False Dawns and New Horizons in Patient Safety Research and Practice”
In their editorial, Mannion and Braithwaite contend that the approach to solving the problem of unsafe care, Safety I, is flawed and requires a shift in thinking to what they are calling Safety II. We have reservations as to whether by itself the shift from Safety I to Safety II is sufficient. Perhaps our failure to improve outcomes in the field of patient safety and quality lies less in our ap...
