Sinn Féin (“ourselves” or “we ourselves”) began innocuously enough, at least in etymology, when founder Arthur Griffith asked the publishers of an Oldcastle paper if he might use their name for a new political party that he was setting up. Since that 1905 founding, however, and through its journey from revolutionary movement to potential political partner in the state it was pledged to destroy, the modern political meaning of Sinn Féin reflects a contradictory and tension-heavy history of Irish republicanism. The New Politics of Sinn Féin is a powerful and revealing assessment of the ideological and organizational development of provisional republicanism since 1985. The first half of the volume chronicles the processes of change that transformed the republican movement from its revolutionary origins to its current role as a civic and legislative power, while the second half explores the ideological implications of this transition. Arguing that the political movement remains a site of contestation between elements of the universal and the particular, Kevin Bean looks especially to the tensions between civic and ethnic conceptions of identity and the nation as a way to define Sinn Féin in its current incarnation—making this an essential volume for anyone concerned with the contemporary state of Irish politics.

The New Politics of Sinn Fein, 1985-2006 available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Looks at how far the politics of the Provisional Republican movement in Northern Ireland underwent a fundamental transformation from the mid-1980s onwards. In explaining how and why this occurred, the focus is on the development of certain ideological themes, such as community and identity politics. The discussion places this development in a wider context by considering whether the Provisional movement now acts as a pseudo-state within the nationalist community in Northern Ireland and how these political and ideological processes reflect broader shifts in the pattern of politics, both within Northern Ireland and internationally. The book contains an extensive range of interviews with republican activists and leaders at all levels, former prisoners, community activists, British officials and politicians, and leading Unionists who have been involved with the negotiations with Sinn Fein. One of the central themes is the developing relationship between the state and former radical challengers to its authority. The book argues that the British government's social and economic strategy of community development from the 1970s onwards consciously strengthened the Provisionals as de facto partners in governance initially at local and, later, the wider communal level after 1998. Consideration is given to the impact that the events of September 11, 2001, and the continuing 'war on terrorism' have had on the range of military-political strategies available to the Provisionals. The author concludes that the changed international political imperatives of governments and populations seem now to define the limited political space open to the Provisionals. ~

This book was released on 2015-10-05. Power Play available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This is the first comprehensive analysis of how Sinn Féin has transformed itself from ‘political wing’ of the Republican movement to a mainstream force in Irish politics. In this book by one of Ireland’s leading political journalists, Deaglán de Bréadún provides an incisive account of how the party has arrived at a position, in the space of one generation, where it is in power north of the border and knocking on the door of government in the south. Despite recent controversies and scandals arising from alleged sexual abuse by republican activists, and the violent legacies of the Troubles, the party has maintained its popularity. The outsiders have now become insiders in the political game. How did this dramatic transformation come about? Based on detailed research as well as interviews with a wide range of figures inside Sinn Féin and across the Irish political spectrum, Deaglán de Bréadún unveils a fascinating and indispensable analysis of a party that has come in from the cold. The book also draws on the author’s experiences covering the Northern Ireland peace process as well as politics in the Republic for many years, to reveal the most fascinating and unmissable political story of 2015.
