SOCIOL 1000 Chapter Notes - Chapter 4: Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association, Israeli Settlement, Ariel Sharon
Document Summary
Our typology of regimes is based on what social scientists call ideal types, abstractions at the poles of variation. Between these extremes, there are a range of regimes that combine elements of democracy and undemocracy. A savage civil war was fought to bring the nation under something resembling unitary rule. Even afterwards, african americans were denied the right to vote and lived under conditions of quasi-feudalism: the united kingdom is another example. During the nineteenth century, demands for irish autonomy or independence swelled. A campaign for home rule brought disestablishment of the previously official church of ireland in 1869. The british painfully established military control but also began negotiating with irish representatives: within two years, the negotiations had led to an agreement: partition of northern. Ireland from the rest, and dominion status similar to that of canada and south africa for a newly created irish free state outside the north.
