This book reprints 17 IPS articles, covering wide range of issues including the electoral system, the development of the Irish party system, political culture, the good friday agreement, the rise of Sinn Fein and the DUP, national identity, the economic foundations of the independent Irish state, and conflict resolution in Northern Ireland. Each of the articles, chosen for both their academic rigour and the accessibility of their writing for a non specialist reader, is followed by a specially commissioned new commentary which analyses recent developments in the area. The book's coverage is broad, yet each area is dealt with in conspicuous detail. Political Science, Irish Political Culture - Irish Eoin O'Malley 10240/ MKRI-P/ XI-2008 10239/ MKRI-P/ XI-2008
