‘Parades and Protests – An Annotated Bibliography’ [2007] |
|
| Given that parades and parade-related protests and disputes have generated division in recent years and that this division has translated into conflict in a number of interface areas, it seemed appropriate to commission the Institute for Conflict Research to bring together within one document a collection of abstracts of existing literature on this subject.
This annotated bibliography aims to provide a resource to people wishing to trace and understand the dynamics of current parades-related disputes and the various initiatives that have been taken in relation to these.
The bibliography summarises all of the main writings on the current cycle of parades and protests. These include academic studies and documents written by advocates of parading and by their opponents, and also a large number of policy documents that have been generated by the disputes over the past decade.
The document includes a number of studies that provide a historical background to parading in Northern Ireland, and also works that focus more on the loyal orders that are responsible for organising the parades.
As with our earlier ‘Interface Issues’ bibliography, BIP has brought together a library of hard copies of the source materials summarised within it. This library is housed in our offices and is available to BIP members and key stakeholders.
We aim, over future years, to continue to regularly update both this bibliography and the library of source materials as new literature is added.
We hope you will find this resource relevant and useful.

'Interface Issues: 2007 Update' by John Bell [ICR] |
|
| We produced in 2005 a collection of abstracts booklet called ‘Interface Issues: an annotated bibliography’, which contained summaries of 82 different pieces of literature that had been written about interface areas and issues over the period 1976-2004. We commissioned the Institute for Conflict Research (ICR) to prepare this for us.
This document represents the 2007 update to that booklet, prepared for us by ICR and containing summaries of approx 20 newer pieces of work, inc some that we missed last time. Again, BIP has brought together a library of hard copies of the source materials summarised within it. This library is housed in our offices and is available to BIP members and key stakeholders.
We aim, over future years, to continue to regularly update both the collection of abstracts document and the library of source materials as new literature is added.
We hope you will find this resource relevant and useful.

Interface Issues: An Annotated Bibliography by Mary Conway & Jonny Byrne |
|
| Much has been written about interface areas and issues by researchers, academics, community and statutory agencies and others. This body of work represents a considerable store of knowledge and experience, insight, theory and opinion in this areas, gathered over many years. One of the aims of BIP is to enhance and develop the knowledge base regarding Belfast’s interface areas. In order to facilitate this process of knowledge development, it seemed appropriate to commission the Institute for Conflict Research to bring together within one document a collection of abstracts of existing literature.
Accompanying this document, BIP has brought together a library of hard copies of the source materials summarised within it. This library is housed in our offices and is available to BIP members and key stakeholders.
We aim, over future years, to regularly update both the collection of abstracts document and the library of source materials as new literature is added.

Survey of Membership Needs (2004) |
|
| The survey was structured in two sections. The first, An Audit of Interface Issues, examines perceptions of conditions and perceptions of change over the last ten years in interface communities across Belfast. Section Two, Members' Needs, contains further qualitative information regarding the support needs reported by BIP members. |
