Abstract
This bachelor thesis is an attempt to offer an explanation for the existence of violent republican groups in Northern Ireland after the 1998 peace agreement, by using the mobilization theory from McCarthy, McAdam and Zald (1996:2) as an analytic guideline. Framing, political opportunities and mobilization structures are researched in order to give a well-formulated explanation for the existence of groups like the Continuity IRA and the Real IRA.
