Description
Book SynopsisWill the real Ireland please stand up? European Republic, Global Citizen, Anglo-American State or Irish Nation? - this text offers an analysis of Irish foreign policy that focuses upon its transformation as a result of Ireland’s membership of the European Union and a broader evolution in national identity.
Trade ReviewWhat Tonra does is to set out a number of 'narratives' which attempt to redefine foreign policy in terms of Irish identity….Global Citizen and European Republic is a useful textbook for the many expectant debaters.
