Abstract
Habermas's theory of post‐national identity has mostly been developed in the context of debates on German political culture. The basic ideas underlying it have emerged from his broader theory of society, in particular his notion of discursive democracy. His critique of nationalism and his discursive model of democracy can be used to form a theory of post‐national identity which can be applied to deeply divided political cultures. The case of Northern Ireland is an example of such a situation in which conflict resolution can be solved only by the discursive transformation of national identities along post‐national lines.
