The Making of the Irish Constitution 1937

"Few things have shaped and controlled Irish political and legal culture as decisively as the constitution of Ireland but the circumstances in which it was created have, until now, remained obscure. The Making of the Irish Constitution is an authoritative account of the drafting of this document in which Ireland's fundamental laws are enshrined. It puts the Irish constitution in a clear historical perspective and examines the political context of the beginnings of the constitution in 1930s Ireland." "Set against the background of constitutional developments following the foundation of the state, the authors chart the passage of the constitution through the drafting process. They identify the roles of particular legal, administrative and religious personnel who contributed to the making of this extremely important document, a document which defined the nature of the modern Irish state."--BOOK JACKET.

Ireland and Europe, 1919-1948

Irish affairs have been overshadowed by the British presence, and Anglo-Irish relations have usually been seen as central to Irish history. However, the wider continental influence on Ireland has been very considerable and has been unjustly neglected in the past. Dermot Keogh's book rectifies this situation by examining critically the connections between continental Europe and Ireland from the Treaty of Versailles and the influence of European Roman Catholicism to the formal declaration of the Irish republic. Ireland & Europe provides a valuable source for studying Irish political life during the first thirty years of independence.

Israel/Palestine and the Politics of a Two-State Solution

  • Type: Book

  • Publisher: McFarland

This is a dispassionate examination of the viability of a two-state solution in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, based on the politics of Israel, Palestine and the United States. It includes instructive case studies from South Africa in Namibia and the Irish claim to Northern Ireland. The results of Israeli elections from 2001 to 2013 are analyzed (with the conclusion that the Likud will be in any government coalition for at least the midterm future, giving it a veto over policy). A chapter examining the history and ideology of the secular right over the last 90 years follows. There are three chapters of case studies: the Likud withdrawal from the Sinai in 1979-1982 and from Gaza in 2005, the withdrawal of South Africa from Namibia in 1988-1989, and the dropping of Ireland's constitutional claim to Northern Ireland in 1998 under a Fianna Fail government--the same party that wrote the constitution in 1937. A chapter examines Palestinian politics since the mandatory era and another, the American-Israeli alliance and American politics. A concluding chapter draws lessons from the case studies and the analysis.
