The focus of this book is to analyse from a number of
perspectives the politics of change in Ireland north and south
since 1969. The emergence of the troubles in Northern Ireland, the
final push to gain entry to the EEC, changing social mores and
severe economic difficulties all begin to appear on the horizon at
this stage. While considerable change and, indeed, moments of
extreme crisis, have taken place in areas such as Northern Ireland,
the economy, moral politics, and Ireland's attitude towards the
European Union, continuity has also been a significant hallmark of
Irish politics since 1969.
This volume offers important perspectives and opens up new
debates in explaining the phenomena of continuity, change and
crisis in contemporary Ireland. New evidence on the origins of the
troubles in Northern Ireland, the Arms Crisis, Ireland's
relationship with Europe, the process of social partnership, and
the politics of morality all offer important fresh insights into
how contemporary Ireland has functioned. Featuring a number of high
profile scholars and uniquely dealing with both Northern Ireland
and the Republic of Ireland, this volume argues that the intriguing
feature of recent Irish history is not the absence of change but
the extent to which change has been mediated by the existing
political cultures, national traditions and long-standing
institutions of both north and south.
This book was based on a special issue of Irish Political
Studies.
