Ireland Through European Eyes: Western Europe, the EEC and Ireland, 1945-1973

This collection draws together a wide field of original sources from across Europe to reveal how Belgian, French, Italian, Luxembourg, Dutch, and West German politicians, policymakers and commentators perceived independent Ireland from the end of the Second World War until Irish accession to the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1973. The postwar analysis is placed in the context of older historical interactions. This collection is based on copious untapped official sources of the Six and the EEC, in addition to Irish government archives. Its contemporary relevance promises to interest many in the field of current affairs, modern Ireland and modern Europe.
