At the time of partition, many  areas already had a Catholic majority, and the Catholic population is  increasing faster, thereby undermining the Protestant position.  Britain gains no advantage by keeping Northern Ireland. Nevertheless,  this solution is not going to be cheap, not merely because of  opposition by Protestant loyalists, but also because of the economic  weakness of both Irelands. \u003cbr\u003e  Unlike other books on the subject, this one goes to the heart of the  matter: Britain would be serving her own interest by easing  reunification of Ireland, albeit gradually and cautiously. In this  perspective, the conclusion is that history is inexorably moving  beyond Northern Ireland. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eAudience:\u003c\/em\u003e European Community administrators and planners,diplomats, politicians, students in Political Science, Economics,  History and Geography.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1996-07-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792340461\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-2456-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 230\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45578444570764,"sku":"9780792340461","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792340461.jpg?v=1771512919","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792340461","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
