The purpose of this digital e-book is to attempt to arrive at an understanding as to why in all probability that no one without reasonable exception was neutral, during the last Anglo-Irish / NI Conflict 1968-1998, leading up the signing of the Belfast Agreement 1998. Therefore, this e- book is an examination of some of the issues. In relation to perceived Irish / Anglo-Irish cultural identities, culture, political prejudice and the development of pathological sectarianism, evolving out of perceived rational and irrational fears. The basis for this transitional justice and managed process blueprint, is a set of base point constitutional and institutional, community development proposals and suggestions, underpinned by the author’s informed ideas on transitional justice and community psychology. I.E in relation to a managed change process. This book aims to build on the authors submission made on the 30 / 10 / 2013 to the independent chair DR. Richard Haass and vice chair Megan O’Sullivan. The panel of parties in the NI Executive calls for submissions addressing the three issues: parades and protests, flags symbols and emblems, and related matters; and dealing with the past. It is intended also for the purpose of addressing some of the outstanding parts of the Belfast Agreement 1998, and some of the issues which underpin and may be impeding the full implementation of the Belfast Agreement 1998. The aim is to develop and go some way in understanding, the evolutionary linear community psychology perspective, via an attempt at some understandings, in terms of individuals, family, groups, identity, culture, class – social economic, institutions, conflict, social control, and social change, in the context of the Anglo-Irish / NI conflict 1968-1998. The need for some realistic clarity and a foundation understanding, in relation to the historic developments and perceptions of cultural identities; and the psycho social "situational positioning " in terms of the real time crystallization of NI citizens perceptions, leading up to and during and emerging out of the conflict. This is a basis for developing a blueprint for a transitional justice, human rights, community psychology approach to enabling and facilitating, a managed change process. This is aimed at acknowledging the origins of some aspects of Northern Irish cultural identities with a view to enabling an embryonic social cohesion and community integration. This may be supported and underpinned by a Northern Irish Home Rule Entrenched Bill of Rights and Freedoms.

A transitional justice community psychology perspective approach, aimed at understanding and acknowledging the embedded cultural social and emotional cognition's, underpinning the Anglo- Irish / NI Conflict 1968-1998. In particular, some of the difficulties and self-made obstacles, in relation to engaging a managed change process. A community psychology imperative, aimed at acknowledging the existence of an array of individual and community group reinforced family psycho-dynamic and social psychological processes at work i.e. in terms of perceived historic Northern Irish identities and cultures, contributing to individual and community indifference's and systemic institutional discrimination and failures. The importance of attempting to understand and in the first instance grasping the relevance of acknowledging the existence of the undercurrent psychological individual and community processes. This approach is aimed at gaining a better understanding as to the extent to which these issues, may have contributed to a range of beliefs, values and attitudes and behavioural indifference's. In particular, as to the respective Northern Irish individual and community political decisions and actions. In essence, emanating out of a context involving an external "situational positioning" of individuals in community and institutional settings, underpinned by perceived cultural identity issues, family psycho-dynamic developmental processes, social psychological – social representations and group processes? The development of attitudes, behaviours producing internal and external experiences. Embedded formulations based on identity, cultural perceptions, responsible for producing emotional and social cognition's. These emotional and social cognitive processes forming the basis for cultural sectarianism, political prejudice, lawful and unlawful discrimination and arbitrary behaviours?

A more detailed exploration of the evolution and development of rational and irrational fears, pathological sectarianism. The aims and objectives of a conflict resolution process, involving an application of a "constructive ambiguity" process, aimed at creating space for a managed political change. The failure after twenty years of "constructive ambiguity" to fully implement the Belfast Agreement 1998? The fear that the "peace process - shelf life" will expire and render the conflict resolution process of "constructive ambiguity" at variance with NI social cohesion and community integration? A greater understanding as to the hope for inclusive change in constitutional, cultural and human rights and freedoms, may be gained by purchasing the e-book entitled " The Ghost in the Gael, Anglo-Irish Culture and Northern Irish Pathological Sectarianism " by John A. Coyle. This may only be purchased from kindle direct / amazon e-books for £2.00. Please note that this e-book is one of eights e-books, which forms a part of what the authors describes, as an e-book "Treatise on a Northern Irish transitional justice managed change process".
