In terms of time and money, this project could not have been completed without the generous supportof the Economic and Social Research Council, which sponsored this research through a two-year fellowship and a grant under its ‘Devolution and Constitutional Change’ programme. Henry Patterson, my collaborator onaforthcomingco-authoredbookontheOrangeOrderandUUP,Unionism and Orangeism in Northern Ireland since 1945 (Manchester: Manchester Uni- versity Press, 2007), has been a tremendous source of insight into Northern Ireland society, history, and Unionist politics.

Useful comments and discussion have also come from, among oth- ers, Jon Tonge, Dominic Bryan, Don MacRaild, David Fitzpatrick, Jonathan Mattison, William Jenkins, David Wilson, Seamus Smyth, Paul Dixon, Chris Farrington, and the Northern Ireland Politics group of the Political Studies Association. This book would never have been written without the excellent access andhelpofOrangementhroughoutNorthernIreland.Foremostamongthem are the former Executive Officer George Patton and the current Executive Officer Dr David Hume. The Rev. Brian Kennaway, former chairman of the Education Committee, was extremely helpful. Orangemen at county level helped to plot lodge halls on Ordnance Survey maps and provided local knowledgeandaccesstocountyreportsandminutebooks.HereIwouldlike toespeciallythankPerryReid, RobertAbernethy,andHenryReidinTyrone, Joe Campbell and Trevor Geary in Armagh, Tom Wright in Belfast, Noel McIlfettrick in Fermanagh, David Brewster in Londonderry, Drew Nelson in Down,andWilliamLeatheminAntrim.TheformerGrandMasterofCanada NormRitchiehasbeenhelpfulwithadviceandcontacts. vii Acknowledgements Note that the views expressed in this work are entirely my own and do not reflect those of any of the above individuals.
