商品簡介
Murray, a post-graduate researcher at the National University of Ireland, Galway, presents a comprehensive history of the Irish Boundary Commission, the body created by the Anglo-Irish treaty of 1921 to modify the borders of the newly created Northern Ireland to address nationalist concerns. The volume examines the historical precedence for the commission and discusses the political context in which it operated. The work chronicles the meetings of the commission and its findings as well as the political machinations including the unionist threats and nationalist demands that informed them. This detailed text will appeal to students of the independence period of Irish history as well as political scientists interested in broader issues of border and boundary creation in regions suffering intense political tension.
