This is
an indispensable guide to attitudes to current social and
political issues in contemporary Northern Ireland. Based on
extensive data gathered in the annual Northern
Ireland Life and Times survey, it features a series of
essays by leading academics that discuss and comment on a
wide range of public attitudes to religion, politics and social
policy issues. These include devolution and the implementation
of the Good Friday Agreement, community relations, attitudes
to science and genetic information, education, housing, pensions,
transport, social inequality and the rights of the child.
The
report draws on data from the 1998 and 1999 surveys, as well
as on material from previous years.
