Reviews a variety of theories hypothesising that violent
conflicts are caused by social conditions as well as
generational differences. Tests these theories with two
sets of survey evidence from Northern Ireland, and shows
that violent political conflict about the regime cannot be
explained in terms of social conditions. Suggests that
containing or resolving political conflict in Northern
Ireland requires explicitly political action, which the
1982 Northern Ireland Assembly is unlikely to provide.
