Ireland

About this book

"This book offers a series of essays in post-revolutionary settlement in independent Ireland. They address central themes such as the nature of party mobilisation and the development of foreign and economic policy within the context of Anglo-Irish and Commonwealth relations.". "However, the volume's broad focus also includes the often overlooked losers within the new order - the pre-revolutionary unionists and nationalist elites - and those, like the advocates of Catholic Action and social republicanism, who failed to access or influence the politics of the emergent Irish state after 1922. The book contributes to our understanding of the meaning of independence in modern Ireland."--BOOK JACKET.
