Continuity, Change and Crisis in Contemporary IrelandAuthor(s): Brian Girvin, Gary Murphy\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781138971769, 978-1138971769\nSynopsis\nThe focus of this book is to analyse from a number of perspectives the politics of change in Ireland north and south since 1969. The emergence of the troubles in Northern Ireland, the final push to gain entry to the EEC, changing social mores and severe economic difficulties all begin to appear on the horizon at this stage. While considerable change and, indeed, moments of extreme crisis, have taken place in areas such as Northern Ireland, the economy, moral politics, and Irelands attitude towards the European Union, continuity has also been a significant hallmark of Irish politics since 1969.\n\nThis volume offers important perspectives and opens up new debates in explaining the phenomena of continuity, change and crisis in contemporary Ireland.
