  • whether the peace process is still valid
  • the problems caused by the language of politics in Northern Ireland
  • the conditions necessary to secure political stability
  • the inability of unionists and republicans to share the same political discourse
  • the insights that political theory can offer to Northern Irish politics
  • the future of key political parties and institutions.
