Northern Ireland: Political Economy of Conflict (Aspects of Political Economy) by Rowthorn, Bob ; Naomi Wayne - 1988

Polity Press, 1988. Soft cover. Very Good. From the book, ""In this new book Bob Rowthorn and Naomi Wayne provide a clear and incisive analysis of the politics and economy of Northern Ireland, from partition to the present day. They outline the options for the future of the province and argue for the withdrawal of British troops and the reunification of Ireland. The book focuses on the development of the economy of Northern Ireland, comparing it with economic development in the Irish Republic and the UK. The roles of foreign investment, international trade and British government subsidies are examined. The authors also analyse the causes and effects of discrimination and inequality, documenting their differential impact on Protestants and Catholics. On the basis of these analyses, they assess the likely consequences of British withdrawal and specify measures that could be taken to minimize violence and improve living standards.""
