This essential new history of the Irish state synthesises existing research with new findings, and adopts fresh perspectives based on neglected European and American debates. It examines the evolution of Irish diplomacy from six consulate officers in the 1920s to sixty ambassadors in the 2010s, and provides an overview of a century of Ireland's diplomatic history that has previously only been examined in a piecemeal fashion. The author's original research findings are focussed particularly on Ireland's struggle for independence in a global context, and his original analysis gives an account of how the economic performance of the Irish state formed a perpetual context for its role in international relations even when this was not a priority of its diplomats. Equal attention is paid to the history of international Irish trade, the operations of bilateral Irish relations, and multilateral diplomacy. It highlights how the Irish state came to find its role in international relations mostly by means of the UN and EU, and analyses this trend in the light of international relations theory and European history.

Eireland! Eireland! Which are their roots, their development throughout multi-millennial history since the deep ancient to the present days? Like the Greeks, like the Romans, like the Germans, like the English, this great and unique European People, which once ruled over a fourth of antique Europe, sprang from a small beginning and from narrows confines... like the Greeks, like the Romans, like the Germans and like the English... The 12 Axis of EireLand are embraced by the 12 European Union Stars, creating an inseparable bipolarity and bivalency into Europe, with Europe and through Europe. Therefore, the EireLand Synthesis must be an European survey, rethought through the Axis of EireLand’s Living Soul, by reciting poems in Gaelic Words and Tears, for over 2000 years, then in Old and Middle Irish Sagas through the Triad of mythological tales, king tales and hero tales (600-1200 AD). The Early Modern Irish Literature (1200-1600) of bardic poetry of exile, of love and personal sorrows, has been recollected by the Modern and Contemporary Irish Literature (1600-onward). The Gaelic revivalism of 20th Century Irish Renaissance have an indefinable Irish quality of rhythm and style, a GAELIC QUANTUM OF SPIRIT; translated in many Nobel Prices by re-telling the keltos substratum to chell as Victory! The power of multiplicity of pathos sufferings has been seeded and carved in Letter, Words and Soul, as keenly daily bread that resurrected the milestone of Gaelic Spirit in becoming the ONENESS!

Irish Civilization provides the perfect background and introduction to both the history of Ireland until 1921 and the development of Ireland and Northern Ireland since 1921.

It includes a focus on certain central structural aspects, such as: the physical geography, the people, political and governmental structures, cultural contexts, economic and social institutions, and education and the media. Irish Civilization is a vital introduction to the complex history of Ireland and concludes with a discussion of the present state of the relationship between them. It is an essential resource for students of Irish Studies and general readers alike.

Drawing on an immense body of literature and research, Brian Jenkins analyses the forces that shaped mid-nineteenth century Irish nationalism in Ireland and North America as well as the role of the Roman Catholic Church. He outlines the relationship between newly arrived Irish Catholic immigrants and their hosts and the pivotal role of the church in maintaining a sense of exile, particularly among those who had fled the famine. Jenkins also explores the essential "Irishness" of the revolutionary movement and the reasons why it did not emerge in the two other "nations" of the United Kingdom, Scotland and Wales.

After civil war, can the winners commemorate their victory, hailing their conquering heroes with the blood of their former comrades still fresh on their boots? Or should they cover themselves in shame and hope that the nation soon forgets? In this book, Anne Dolan explores the tensions between memory and forgetting in twentieth-century Ireland. By examining the memory of winning the Irish Civil War, she discusses the extent to which it has been used to serve party political ends, where private grief finds consolation when the dead have fallen from political favour, and how the dead are remembered when no one wanted to fight the war. The book addresses the Irish Civil War at its most public point: at the statues and crosses, and in the ritual and rhetoric of commemoration. It will be of central interest to all students and scholars of European history and politics.
