Northern Ireland's problems are rooted in physical and historical
geography: small resource base, peripheral location, violent
conquest, repression and ruthless emargination of the native
population by the Protestant settlers. At the time of partition,
many areas already had a Catholic majority, and the Catholic
population is increasing faster, thereby undermining the Protestant
position. Britain gains no advantage by keeping Northern Ireland.
Nevertheless, this solution is not going to be cheap, not merely
because of opposition by Protestant loyalists, but also because of
the economic weakness of both Irelands. Unlike other books on the
subject, this one goes to the heart of the matter: Britain would be
serving her own interest by easing reunification of Ireland, albeit
gradually and cautiously. In this perspective, the conclusion is
that history is inexorably moving beyond Northern Ireland.
Audience: European Community administrators and planners,
diplomats, politicians, students in Political Science, Economics,
History and Geography.
