primer Sinn Fein na Irskem 1981-2007
Eoin Hick (Author), Alenka Krašovec (Mentor)

Abstract

Obstaja veliko dejavnikov, ki pojasnjujejo, kako se je organizacija Sinn Fein v obdobju 1981-2017 preoblikovala iz manjšega političnega krila paravojaške organizacije v uspešno politično stranko. Eden od njih je bil vedno večji interes stranke za sodelovanje v volilni politiki in odpovedovanje nasilnim metodam za dosego njenih ciljev. Ta proces se je začel med gladovno stavko irskih republikanskih zapornikov, ko so potekale tudi nadomestne volitve na katerih je zmagal Bobby Sands, vodja zapornikov, ki so gladovno stavkali. Publiciteta, ki je spremljala gladovno stavko, tej je sledila zmaga na nadomestnih volitvah, skupaj s smrtjo Bobbyja Sandsa in devetih njegovih tovarišev, je Sinn Fein in Irsko republikansko gibanje preusmerila k uporabi legalnih načinov doseganja zastavljenih ciljev in ne več zgolj nasilnih poti za dosego ciljev. Stranka se je počasi oddaljila od uporabe nasilnih sredstev ter se vedno bolj vključevala v volilno politiko. Od leta 1986, ko je svojim članom dovolila udeležbo v delovanju parlamenta Republike Irske, prve prekinitve sovražnosti leta 1994 in končne leta 1997, pa vse do leta 1998, ko je aktivno sodelovala v pogajanjih in zaključku t.i. Belfastskega sporazuma. Takrat so se v Sinn Fein strinjali, da bodo aktivno sodelovali v dogovoru o delitvi oblasti z Britanskimi unionisti na Severnem Irskem. Leta 2005 se je končala njihova oborožena kampanja in leta 2007 so vstopili v vlado z Demokratično unionistično stranko, njihovimi dolgoletnimi sovražniki

Secondary title: From paramilitary organisation to a political party
Secondary abstract: There were many factors that dictated how Sinn Fein transformed themselves from being the minor political wing of a paramilitary organisation to being a successful political party between 1981 and 2007. One of them was the party’s increasing interest in electoral politics and contesting elections in Ireland rather than only using violent methods to achieve their goals. They began this during a hunger strike of Irish republican prisoners when a by-election was held, a by-election won by the leader of the prisoners on hunger strike, Bobby Sands. The publicity surrounding the hunger strike and subsequent election victory, along with the death of Bobby Sands and nine of his comrades during the hunger strike, led to Sinn Fein and the Irish Republican Movement in general taking more of an interest in achieving their goals through legal means rather than purely through violence. They slowly moved away from using violence to becoming more and more involved in politics, by voting to allow their members sit in the Republic of Ireland parliament in 1986, to the first IRA ceasefire in 1994 and final one in 1997, to taking an active part in the negotiations and the final settlement of the Belfast Agreement in 1998 where they agreed to participate in a power-sharing agreement with British unionist in Northern Ireland, to the end of their armed campaign in 2005 and their entry into a power-sharing government along with their former enemies the Democratic Unionist Party in 2007.
