Abstract


Salah satu reaksi terhadap globalisasi adalah menguatnya identitas-identitas
lokal yang beranak pinak menjadi gerakan separatisme, fanatisme agama, dan
gerakan primordialisme. Konflik-konflik yang bermunculan di penghujung abad
20 ditandai dengan konflik identitas dan kepentingan. Karena itu perhatian
dan studi tentang identitas menjadi begitu penting untuk kepentingan proses
perdamaian. Sumbangan dari dunia akademis ini sangat dinantikan oleh para
peace maker mengingat makin massif dan banyaknya konflik antar negara,
golongan, maupun agama yang terjadi. Dalam proses perdamaian di Irlandia
Utara terlihat bagaimana peran identitas itu begitu kental. Tulisan ini mencoba
membedah problem perdamaian di Irlandia Utara itu dari kacamata identity
theory. Dengan pemahaman yang lebih baik atas masing-masing kubu yang
bertikai, tulisan ini memberikan rekomendasi bahwa proses perdamaian yang
selama ini telah ditempuh perlu dirombak ulang. Proses ini kiranya relevan
bagi Indonesia
