Publication Type: Paper (prepared oral presentation) Abstract: Due to the sharp contrast of identities in Northern Ireland and the resulting violence, it is of utmost importance to analyze the history of the region in terms of the relation between the two. There has been a magnitude of literature that attempts to link identity and conflict through research, and many social scientists regard the link between the concepts as highly important and necessary for the resolution of future conflicts. Kelman states that “A social group’s future time perspective is related to its identity and to preservation of its morale,” and “improving the low self-esteem of a minority group is a necessary condition for improving intergroup relations,” (Baron 2004, 8). Furthermore, addressing these issues of identity may be necessary to reduce conflicts between groups (e.g., Kelamn, 1997; Kriesberg, Northrup, & Thorson, 1989). Riek, et al. (2008) sums up the important, effective role of social psychological identity theories in reducing conflict best, by stating that “recognizing the crucial importance of a social identity, perceived group boundaries, and the nature of relations between groups is essential for understanding conflict, and ultimately, reconciliation." Because of these commonly-held beliefs, it is ultimately necessary to examine the interplay of identities of the groups involved in conflicts, past and present, as a method of prevention of future conflicts. For the purposes of this article, Northern Ireland will serve as a the provincial case study for which to analyze intergroup conflict through the lens of social identity theory and social dominance theory.
