This book, available in paperback for the first time, offers a new
and innovative way of looking at Irish foreign policy, linking its
development with changes in Irish national identity. Many debates
within contemporary International Relations focus on the relative
benefits of taking a traditional interest-based approach to the
study of foreign policy as opposed to the more recently developed
identity-based approach. Uniquely, this book takes the latter and,
instead of looking at Irish foreign policy through the lens of
individual, geo-strategic or political interest, it is linked to
deeper identity changes. As one Minister of Foreign Affairs put it;
'Irish foreign policy is about much more than self-interest. The
elaboration of our foreign policy is also a matter of
self-definition - simply put, it is for many of us a statement of
the kind of people that we are.' Using this approach, four grand
narratives are identified which, it is argued, have served to shape
the course of Irish foreign policy and which have, in turn, been
impacted by the course of Ireland's international experience. The
roots and significance of each of these narratives; Ireland as a
European Republic, as a Global Citizen, as an Anglo American State
and as an Irish Nation are then outlined and their significance
assessed. The shape of Irish foreign policy making structures is
then drawn out and the usefulness of this book's approach to Irish
foreign policy is then considered in three brief case studies:
Ireland's European experience, its neutrality and Irish policy
towards the 2003 Iraq War. It is hoped that this book will appeal
to those with an interest in Irish foreign policy, politics and
history as well as students of international relations theory and
foreign policy. The contributors are drawn from those who have
worked alongside Janet Nelson and from some of her former students.
They include David Bates, Stephen Baxter, Wendy Davies, Paul
Fouracre and David Ganz.
