This book observes how this phenomenon is   particularly striking in Northern Ireland, where Israeli and Palestinian flags   have been flown by Unionists and Nationalists as signs of solidarity and   identification. Louvet sheds light on the dynamics   and strategies at play in the Middle   East conflict in Northern Ireland but also in the Republic of Ireland, a   country considered to be widely sympathetic to the Palestinian cause. With an   overarching perspective highlighting the influence of Irish colonial history   over the motives and discourse of the different levels of mobilization in   civil society, this book shows the global movement towards the fragmentation and   specialization of transnational solidarity actions in Ireland. \u003c\/p\u003e\n   \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-07-07\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137551085\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-55109-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 269\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44752406282380,"sku":"9781137551085","price":53.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137551085.jpg?v=1775915859","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781137551085","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
