Dilemmas, limitations and challenges of place leadership: instability and transitional dynamics in post-Brexit Northern Ireland
以北爱尔兰为例，研究后冲突地区的地方领导如何应对不稳定和停滞，指出领导者在处理社区与政策遗留问题时面临困境，且地方领导方式在脱欧后的政策动荡中风险高、易受冲击。
This paper considers place leadership in subnational settings characterised by complex post-conflict legacies that are engendering volatility and stasis. Using Northern Ireland as an illustrative case, we identify leadership dilemmas through the experience of a region where those in leadership roles are struggling to navigate problematic community and policy legacies. While the idea of place leadership offers much conceptual promise as a means of overcoming instability, there are many critical tensions ‘on the ground’ in Northern Ireland that render place leadership approaches risky to enact and vulnerable to a combination of opposing forces and ongoing post-Brexit policy turbulence.
