ISBN: 9780745330303 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. With clarity and depth, Gerard McCann explores the complex developments that have shaped Ireland s economic development, north and south, and led to recurring crises and instability.
The Irish economy has been traditionally portrayed as a product of its political divisions and the colonial legacy, divided and analysed in terms of the hegemonic tensions that exist on the island. Influenced by these divisions, academics have tended to look at a two-region approach to economic development, without adequately acknowledging the interactive nature of the island economy as a source of the crises...

Restoration Ireland: Always Settling and Never Settled
ISBN: 9780754658870 / Angielski / Twarda / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In recent decades, the historiography of early modern Ireland in general, and of the seventeenth century in particular, has been revitalised.

As such this volume provides an opportunity to explore the period between 1660 and 1688, and reassess some of the crucial events it witnessed. For whilst it may lack some of the high drama of the Civil War or the Glorious Revolution, this was a time that established a political and...
