No customer reviews yet ISBN 9781445689821

  • A unique look at British politics - this is the first book to focus on parliamentary violence and explore what it can tell us about Britain's political and social history.
  • By reconciling the changing patterns of parliamentary violence with political, economic, technological and cultural developments in the United Kingdom, the book examines why, despite an increasingly virulent anti-politician atmosphere in this country, the frequency of moments of physical violence has decreased in recent times.
  • Illuminates the role that parliamentary violence has played in moments of major social upheaval - the suffragette movement, Irish Home Rule, the rise of fascism in the 1930s.

    <p><em>Regional and Ethnic Conflicts: Perspectives from the Front Lines</em> provides an alternative vantage point that contributes new perspectives to the study of ethnopolitical conflict.

From a pedagogical perspective, this text is designed to expose students to alternative perspectives. It adds realism and insight to students' understanding of distal ethnopolitical conflicts. Contributors were purposely asked to discuss a range of factors to bring to light the complexity of ethnopolitical conflict. Their chapters are meant to prod students to internalize the importance of analyzing and understanding ethnopolitical conflicts from multiple perspectives.</p>
