BEYOND SOCIAL CAPITAL THE ROLE OF LEADERSHIP, TRUST AND GOVERNMENT POLICY IN NORTHERN IRELAND’S VICTIM SUPPORT GROUPS

LAURA K. GRAHAM

Palgrave Studies in Compromise after Conflict

This series aims to bring together in one series scholars from around the world who are researching the dynamics of post-conflict transformation in societies emerging from communal conflict and collective violence. The series welcomes studies of particular transitional societies emerging from conflict, comparative work that is cross-national, and theoretical and conceptual contributions that focus on some of the key processes in post-conflict transformation. The series is purposely interdisciplinary and addresses the range of issues involved in compromise, reconciliation and societal healing. It focuses on interpersonal and institutional questions, and the connections between them.
