Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Irish Question, Federation or Secession This article is not to be taken throughout as an expression of the writer's own opinion, but as an attempt to understand the mind of the Ulster Protestant Party in regard to proposals for the self-government of Ireland. The object of what follows is to discover if there is any method, consistent with the principles of the Northern community, which offers a present hope of ending an old and bitter controversy. The Protestant Community of Ulster The population of the whole of Ireland is a little under four and a half millions, while that of the Province of Ulster is a little over one and a half millions. The Protestants of Ulster number more than 885, 000 persons. They are therefore in a majority of nearly 200, 000 over their Roman Catholic fellow-countrymen in the Northern Province. The so-called "Ulster Party" is not a party in the ordinary sense of the term. It is made up of all classes of society and of every shade of political opinion. It includes Conservatives and Liberals; but Radicals, Labour men, and Socialists form by far the larger portion of it. The Ulster Protestants have at all times been distinguished by habits of thrift, industry, and enterprise, both as tillers of the soil and in mercantile pursuits. They have been distinguished also by the importance which they attach to education and by the liberality, untainted by corruption, of their municipal administration. At the date of the Union (1800) Belfast was a small town of less than 50, 000 inhabitants; it now numbers over 400, 000. The mightiest vessels launched from its slips float on every sea. Nor has this city any natural advantages, such as are derived from adjacent deposits of coal and iron, to account for its progress. While the Dublin Corporation is a byword for jobbery and incompetence, and enjoys an unenviable notoriety among the great cities of the Empire for its neglect of the very elements of health and decency among its poorer inhabitants, Belfast, with an approximately equal population presents a remarkable contrast in every particular. For upwards of a century the Ulster Protestants have lived and worked under precisely the same conditions - economic, social, and political - as the rest of Ireland. They have prospered under the Union to no less a degree than Great Britain; and for one reason only - because of their determination to make the best of their conditions as they found them. The Force of Sentiment Had the rest of Ireland acted on the same principles they would have prospered equally. They might even have surpassed the prosperity of Ulster by reason of their remarkable gifts of quickness and adaptability. In saying this it is not intended to cast any reproach.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The debate over internal constitutional change took place at a time when many people were concerned about relations between Great Britain and the self-governing colonies. The issue of Imperial federation was continuously and exhaustively discussed and promoted from the late 1860s through World War I. The waters became so muddied that at times it has been difficult to separate arguments for closer imperial union from proposals for internal decentralization. Kendle comments extensively on this confusion. During the fifty years from the early 1870s to the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922, politicians and publicists devoted considerable energy and attention to the notions of "home rule all round," "devolution," and "federalism" as possible means of resolving the urgent political, administrative, and constitutional issues confronting the United Kingdom. The increasing complexity of government business, the gathering forces of ethnic nationalism in Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, and concern with maintaining and strengthening the role of the parliament at Westminister in imperial affairs combined to keep the possibility of decentralization at the forefront of political and public debate. Kendle explores and analyzes the motives and attitudes of participants in this debate and looks at the schemes and proposals that resulted from this power struggle. Ireland and the Federal Solution gives a lucid appraisal of what was meant at the time by the terms "federalism," "home rule all round," and "devolution" and evaluates how firmly the participants grasped the constitutional similarities and differences between existing federal systems.
Download or read book The Irish Question written by Nicholas Mansergh and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-11-14 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1940 but here reissuing the revised third edition of 1975, this book analyses the Irish Question. The study is not a narrative history. While the problems with which it deals have been suggested by the period it covers, it is with the problems and not the period that it is focussed on. Those problems are: the interrelation of economic and social with political forces; the impact of Irish discontent on the Liberal conversion to Home Rule; the character of the political, cultural and social forces behind revolutionary Irish nationalism; and the changing nature of the concept itself. Much attention is given to the implications of Anglo-Irish relations in the wider context of nationalist-imperial conflicts and critical studies are made of the writings of de Tocqueville, Cavour, Marx, Engels and Lenin among others on the Irish Question.
Download or read book Britain and Irish Separatism written by Thomas E. Hachey and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Even more so than the Young Ireland rising of 1848, the Fenian rebellion was an unqualified fiasco." So states Professor Hachey in the introduction to Britain and Irish Separatism. He goes from there to analyze the almost forty years of unsuccessful efforts by Irish and British leaders to reach a constitutional solution to "the Irish question," a failure that culminated in the resurgence of revolutionary separatism, the Easter Rising of 1916, and the growth of Sinn Fein. The Irish War for Independence and the Partition Compromise of 1921 are explored in detail, as is the relationship between Irish separatism and American politics, and the international impact of a free Ireland. - Back cover.

This book was released on 2021-02-26 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The controversial issue of secession has received little attention from experts of federalism. The best federal studies either evade it or dismiss it in a few lines. However, the issue of secession has been present throughout the history of federations. This book is one of the first to explore the complex relationship between federalism and secession. The authors whose work is presented here recognize the potential of federalism as a way to organize relations between several different states, peoples, nations or territories under the same government. However, they are not naïve or idealist about the ability of the federal idea to succeed in the complex situations in which it is applied. In some cases success seems assured (the United States, Switzerland, Germany, etc.), and the merits of federalism can be showcased. But there are also failures (the former Yugoslavia, or more recently Brexit) and semi-failures that have generated turbulence in recent years in devolutive systems (Scotland in the United Kingdom, Catalonia in Spain) or federative systems (Québec in Canada). This book provides a nuanced portrait of the issue of secession in federal contexts and lays the groundwork for questioning the still too fragile legacy of the great thinkers of federalism.

Book excerpt: The many dimensions of the Irish Question, 1800-1922, constituted the most emotion-laden problem in British politics, often to the detriment of other imperial interests -- a Gordian knot only severed by the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922. In this volume Lawrence J. McCaffrey presents a coherent view of the evolution of Irish nationalism since 1800 and the impact of the Irish Question on British culture, politics, and institutions. The emotional nexus of the Irish Question was the religious issue, but McCaffrey believes that nationalism emerged from the attempt of the Irish Protes ...
