| Description: |
An attempt to explain the "Irish Question" and its significance for British policy making. The establishment of two new states of Ireland in 1921 obliged Britain to redefine her objectives in Ireland, but events in 1968 and after have meant that the "Irish Question" is still not resolved. |
| Synopsis: |
Was the Irish Question, as Disraeli put it, "The Pope one minute, and potatoes the next?". D.G.Boyce in The Irish Question and British Politics, 1868-1986 seeks to discover why and with what consequences, Ireland and Irish affairs became a "question" in British politics. He argues that the very act of perceiving it as a "question" contributed to the political response to Irish affairs by both British and Irish politicians; and asks whether this same perception continues to inhibit our thinking about the politics of modern Ireland. |
