Download or read book The British State and the Northern Ireland Crisis, 1969-73 written by William Beattie Smith and published by US Institute of Peace Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on four case studies, author William Beattie Smith traces the evolution of British policy from 1969-73 and depicts how easily a conflict over national identity can turn into bloodshed, grief, and horror; and how difficult it is once a serious fight has started to restore peace.In each of the case studies, Smith highlights a discrete policy followed by the British government in tackling political disorder in Northern Ireland, and examines why the policy was chosen or pursued. He outlines three broad strategic options reform, coercion, and powersharing and identifies factors influencing which of the three will be selected in practice. Focusing on policy outcomes rather than the details of the negotiating process, the author evaluates the relative importance of rational calculation, patterns of understanding, party politics, diplomatic pressures, organizational structure, and official doctrine in shaping policies and initiating radical changes. While rooted in policy analysis, the book ventures into the territory of political history and conflict studies. The author addresses issues such as the legitimacy of state authority, the vulnerability of democratic institutions to the opposition of disaffected minorities, and the tensions that exist between public order and individual rights. His conclusion derives strategic lessons from the British experience in Northern Ireland and provides guidance for policymakers confronting challenges arising from comparable cases."

Book excerpt: Irish Liberty, British Democracy charts the years of political crisis arising from the 1912 Irish Home Rule Bill, revealing the controversy to have been not only a defining moment in Irish history, but a significant episode, too, in the consolidation of democracy in Great Britain. It reveals the power over the governing Liberal Party wielded by Irish nationalist leader, John Redmond, his decisive role in securing a historic stride for British democracy, and the forcefulness with which he stood up to ostensible friends and foes.

Book excerpt: The Home Rule Bill, passed by the British parliament in 1912, aimed at giving Ireland some control over her own affairs. However, this was postponed when the First World War broke out, and by the time the war had ended the political landscape in Ireland had changed irrevocably. The respected historians who have contributed to this book examine the reaction to the Home Rule Bill across many shades of political opinion, and give a fascinating analysis of what might have been if external events had not overtaken local ones.

Book excerpt: "This was a struggle in which the Tories, rather than see Ireland achieve self-governing status similar to Canada, Australia and South Africa, eschewed constitutional precedents, de-stabilised the British state, encouraged civil disobedience and fomented Ireland's drift into civil war." "The purpose of this book is to explain how and why these extraordinary actions occurred. What were they trying to achieve and how did they justify their actions? Why were they willing to pursue such extreme methods?"--Jacket.

Download or read book The Break-Up of Britain written by Tom Nairn and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2021-04-27 with total page 571 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this classic text, first published in 1977, Tom Nairn memorably depicts the 'slow foundering' of the United Kingdom on the rocks of imperial decline, constitutional anachronism and the gathering force of civic nationalism. Rich in comparisons between the nationalisms of the British Isles and those of the wider world, thoughtful in its treatment of the interaction between nationality and social class, The Break-Up of Britain concludes with a bravura essay on the Janus-faced nature of national identity. Postscripts from the Thatcher and Blair years trace the political strategies whose upshot accelerated the demise of a British state they were intended to serve. As a second Scottish independence referendum beckons, a new Introduction by Anthony Barnett underlines the book's enduring relevance.

Download or read book The Strange Death of Liberal England written by George Dangerfield and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-04 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the chaos that overtook England on the eve of the First World War. Dangerfield weaves together the three wild strands of the Irish Rebellion (the rebellion in Ulster), the Suffragette Movement and the Labour Movement to produce a vital picture of the state of mind and the most pressing social problems in England at the time. The country was preparing even then for its entrance into the twentieth century and total war.Dangerfield argues that between the death of Edward VII and the First World War there was a considerable hiatus in English history. He states that 1910 was a landmark year in English history. In 1910 the English spirit flared up, so that by the end of 1913 Liberal England was reduced to ashes. From these ashes, a new England emerged in which the true prewar Liberalism was supported by free trade, a majority in Parliament, the Ten Commandments, but the illusion of progress vanished. That extravagant behavior of the postwar decade, Dangerfield notes, had begun before the war. The war hastened everything - in politics, in economics, in behavior - but it started nothing.George Dangerfield's wonderfully written 1935 book has been extraordinarily influential. Scarcely any important analyst of modern Britain has failed to cite it and to make use of the understanding Dangerfield provides. This edition is timely, since the year 2010 has seen a definitive resurrection of Liberal power. Subsequent to the General Election of July 2010 the government of the United Kingdom has been in the hands of a Conservative/Liberal Democrat coalition. The Deputy Prime Minister is the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party - the direct successor of the old Liberal Party examined by Dangerfield. Five Liberal Democrat members of Parliament were appointed to the Cabinet and there are Liberal Democrat ministers in all governmental departments. After decades of absence from government power, Liberalism seems to be back with a vengeance.

Book excerpt: In the aftermath of the horrors of the Irish Famine, the grim, distrustful relationship between Ireland and the rest of the United Kingdom deteriorated into a generations-long argument about 'Home Rule'. The unprecedented nature of the Irish problem made it extraordinarily difficult for either side to reach a compromise. For many years actual independence seemed inconceivable. And then, as these bitter disputes continued, it became clear that under no circumstances would the Protestants be party to any of it. The Partition is a remarkable, clear-sighted and thoughtful account of how two unthinkable events - full Irish independence and the creation of the state of Northern Ireland - came to pass. The Irish nationalist claim to leave ran into a loyalist demand to remain, threatening large-scale violent resistance. Here Charles Townshend lays out what is ultimately a tragic story, as partition became the only answer to an otherwise insoluble problem. The settlement of the Irish question conjured up heroes and villains, led to civil war and finally to Ulster's catastrophic Troubles. The hard border has always been seen as a failure of both British and Irish statecraft, but has endured now for a century. The Partition brilliantly brings to life the contingency and uncertainty that created it.
