Encompassing an exhaustive account, it traces the relationship between Ireland and FRG by drawing on original material from both. It critiques depictions of Irish-German relations as peculiarly affable and explores the problems presented by trade, Britain, neutrality, NATO, Northern Ireland and the Cold War. The work contends the German 'economic miracle' was a vital stimulus for Ireland's tardy retreat from protectionism. It maintains that Ireland's reorientation was informed by lessons gleaned from Irish-German trade relations as well as a budding recognition of the potential offered by German industrial investment. This granted Germany weighty influence over the shape and direction of Ireland. 606 $aIreland-Foreign relations 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Comparative Politics$2bisacsh 607 $aIreland$xForeign relations$zGermany 607 $aGermany$xForeign relations$zIreland 610 1$aAnglo-Irish Trade Agreement. 610 1$aEuropean Communities. 610 1$aFederal Republic of Germany. 610 5$aIreland. 610 5$aIrish-West German affairs. 610 1$aNazism. 610 5$aWest Germany. 610 1$adevelopment model. 610 1$ainternational reorientation. 610 1$aland wars. 610 1$amodernization. 610 1$anew Europe. 610 1$atrade disputes. 615 0$aIreland-Foreign relations. 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Comparative Politics. 676 $a341.2422 700 $aO'Driscoll$b Mervyn$01609952 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826205503321 996 $aIreland, West Germany and the New Europe, 1949-1973$93937467 997 $aUNINA
