Sommario/riassunto

In the UK 'partnership' has emerged as a central theme in New Labour policy. The present government has seen the formation of partnerships as fundamental to its public sector reform programme across wide areas of public policy - especially in the management of regeneration projects, the improvement of coordination across health and other agencies, and the finance and management of large public sector projects. Yet major uncertainties persist over the definition of 'partnership' and the evaluation of partnership initiatives among both policy makers and researchers. This e-book looks is based on

Sommario/riassunto

This book provides an original assessment of the First World War in Ireland and its consequences, the key to understanding the complexities of the Irish nation today. Thomas Hennessey explores how the War transformed the nature of the Irish and Ulster questions from devolved self-government within the UK to a free Irish republic outside the British Empire, considering such influential figures as de Valera and Michael Collins, and issues such as conscription. He examines both this process of re-evaluation, and the vital question of the consequences for Northern Ireland today.
