The Two Unions: Ireland, Scotland, and the Survival of the United Kingdom, 1707-2007 de Alvin Jackson

The Two Unions: Ireland, Scotland, and the Survival of the United Kingdom, 1707-2007

Autor Alvin Jackson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 iul 2013
Much has been written about the decline of the United Kingdom. The Two Unions looks instead at the lengthy survival of the Union, examining the institutions, structures, and individuals that have contributed to its longevity.In order to understand its survival, the author, one of the foremost historians of modern Ireland and of the British-Irish relationship, sustains a comparison between the Irish and Scots Unions, their respective origins and subsequent development. He provides a detailed examination of the two interlinked Unionist movements in Scotland and Ireland. Alvin Jackson illuminates not only the history and varied health of the United Kingdom over the past 300 years, but also its present condition and prospects.

Recenzii

This is an important book ... it is likely to secure its place as a work that will be read well after the current political debates are forgotten or have become potent memories or myths.
lucid, powerfully argued and often rather witty ... A summary does scant justice to the complexity and richness of Jacksonâs arguments and anatomisation of the two unions. This is a book based on considerable original research and a talent for synthesis and assimilation of a voluminous secondary literature. Politicians at Westminster may well wish to read this book and ponder hard.
this is a story of decline, but one which stresses that, for long periods, the union in both Scotland and Ireland survived and, at times, prospered. As such, this book will be invaluable to historians of both countries and should be required reading for all those interested in the constitutional future of the United Kingdom.
