Introduction to Divided Societies

Abstract

Borooah and Knox begin the book with a rationale for examining the economics of education in a divided society through a case study of Northern Ireland. They offer a short overview of other societies in which children are educated separately, India, the USA (increasingly), and England, as context for their study. The authors engage in a conceptual discussion which locates the specifics of education into a wider peace building agenda in Northern Ireland and interculturalism in the United Kingdom. What sort of society does Northern Ireland want – parallel living (‘separate but equal’) or a shared society?
