Northern Ireland and Kosovo in Comparative Perspective

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Inclusion in Post-Conflict Legislatures

Abstract

This chapter introduces the two cases—Kosovo and Northern Ireland—and looks at them in comparative perspective. Kosovo and Northern Ireland are of a similar size and population, are located in Europe and both have been transitioning from identity/territorial conflicts from around the same time (1999 and 1998 respectively). However, it is made clear that it is not the contexts themselves that are being compared, and significant differences are stated, but the relative performance of the two legislatures, one of which has mechanisms for the inclusion of women and minority ethnic groups (Kosovo) and the other which does not (Northern Ireland).
