First of the Small Nations traces the ideas and aspirations of the
revolutionary generation in Ireland from the 1890s to 1918 who
dreamt of an independent Irish state and imagined how an Irish
foreign policy might look. It follows attempts to put these ideas
into practice during the campaign for independence and how they
evolved into the first Irish foreign policy in the decade after
independence. During these years, efforts were focused on asserting
the young Irish state's independence as it pushed out the
boundaries of Commonwealth membership, made a contribution at the
League of Nations, and forged ties in Europe and America. Many of
the ideas that continue to shape Irish foreign policy - small state
and European country; honest broker and international good citizen;
mother-country with a diaspora and bridge between Europe and
America - have their roots in this period. There is a strong modern
and internationalist vein running through Irish nationalism,
including outside ideas on how the international order should be
arranged - from the desire to pursue a policy based on values, to
attempts to create an international rationale for independence, and
an understanding of the influence of public opinion. First of the
Small Nations also shines a light on interwar European relations
and how small states managed their affairs in a world system
dominated by their larger neighbours. Drawing on a rich vein of
archival sources and private papers, this study charts the
beginnings of Irish foreign policy and the aspiration to be 'first
of the small nations'.
