| Description: |
This text offers an analysis of Irish foreign policy focussing upon its transformation as a result of Ireland's membership of the European Union and a broader evolution in national identity. It should be of interest to the general reader in Irish Studies as well as students of comparative foreign policy, Irish politics and international relations. -- . |
| Synopsis: |
This book offers a new and innovative way of looking at Irish foreign policy, linking its development with changes in Irish national identity. Many debates within contemporary International Relations focus on the relative benefits of taking a traditional interest-based approach to the study of foreign policy as opposed to the more recently developed identity-based approach. Uniquely, this book takes the latter and instead of looking at Irish foreign policy through the lens of individual, geo-strategic or political interest, it is linked to deeper identity changes. As one Minister of Foreign Affairs put it; 'Irish foreign policy is about much more than self-interest. The elaboration of our foreign policy is also a matter of self-definition - simply put, it is for many of us a statement of the kind of people that we are.' -- . |
