  • Peace Processesby John D. Brewer

    Wiley 2013; US$ 28.95

    Peace processes are mostly very fragile. This engagingly written book takes a bold new approach to the topic by beginning from the premise that sociology can identify those factors that help to stabilize them. The book draws a distinction between the political and social dimensions of peace processes, arguing that each is dependent on the other. Consideration... more...

    In 1919 a returning World War I veteran named Harry Hahn and his French bride attempted to sell what they thought was a painting by Leonardo Da Vinci in New York.

    Taylor and Francis 2013; US$ 60.00

    'If you want to understand how British culture reinvented itself in the eighteenth century, read The Pleasures of the Imagination ... Like all really original achievements it makes us sharply rethink things we supposed we knew well, but it does so with humour and humanity, and through the text runs Brewer's remarkable intellect: forceful, lucid... more...

  • The Public Value of the Social Sciencesby John Brewer

    Bloomsbury Publishing 2013; US$ 30.99

    What is the purpose of social science? How can social science make itself relevant to the intractable problems facing humanity in the twenty-first century? The social sciences are under threat from two main sources. One is external, reflected in a global university crisis that imposes the marketization of higher education on the ancient practice of... more...

  • C. Wright Mills and the Ending of Violenceby John D. Brewer

    Palgrave Macmillan 2003; US$ 145.00

    This book has two aims: to clarify the meaning of C. Wright Mills's depiction of the sociological imagination; and to use this to develop a sociological framework that assists in understanding the process by which communal violence has ended in Northern Ireland and South Africa. The contrast between these two societies is a familiar one, but the book... more...

  • Anti-Catholicism in Northern Irelandby John D. Brewer; Gareth I. Higgins

    Palgrave Macmillan 1998; US$ 64.00

    Anti-Catholicism forms part of the dynamics to Northern Ireland's conflict and is critical to the self-defining identity of certain Protestants. However, anti-Catholicism is as much a sociology process as a theological dispute. It was given a Scriptural underpinning in the history of Protestant-Catholic relations in Ireland, and wider British-Irish... more...

  • Ex-Combatants, Religion, and Peace in Northern Irelandby John Brewer; David Mitchell; Gerard Leavey

    Palgrave Macmillan 2013; US$ 85.00

    Studies of Northern Ireland's ex-combatants ignore religion, while advocates of religious interventions in transitional justice exaggerate its influence.
