The Irish border is a manifestation of the relationship between Britain and Ireland.

Produktbeschreibung
The Irish border is a manifestation of the relationship between Britain and Ireland. When that relationship has been tense, we have seen the worst effects at the Irish border in the form of violence, controls and barriers. When the relationship has been good, the Irish border has become - to all intents and purposes - open, invisible and criss-crossed with connections. Throughout its short existence, the symbolism of the border has remained just as important as its practical impact.

With the UK s exit from the European Union, the challenge of managing the Irish border as a source and a symbol of British-Irish difference became an international concern. The solution found in the UK-EU Withdrawal Agreement gives the Irish border a globally unique status.

A century after partition, and as we enter the post-Brexit era, this book considers what we should know and do about this highly complex and ever-contested boundary line.

Rezensionen
If you've ever wondered to yourself: 'Why is that border there in Ireland anyway?', then this is the book for you. If you have ever thought: 'Why was the Irish border such a pain the butt of Brexit?', well, this is the book that'll tell you. Katy Hayward's book explained me to myself. It's like she's written my autobiography. Brilliant.
