This thesis examines Irish separatist foreign policy in 1919-23 through a case study of separatist activities in Germany. Separatists built on initial contacts and the work of local sympathisers in 1919-20 to establish a mission under John Chartres, which inaugurated a vigorous propaganda campaign in favour of Irish independence spearheaded by the bi-weekly Irische Bulletin. A consul, Charles Bewley, was also appointed to nurture commercial relations, while arms smugglers arranged two successful arms shipments m 1921-22. The thesis begins by outlining tentative links between separatists and the local German-Irish Society in 1919-20, examining the latter?s activities and its interpretation of Irish events. It then discusses the mission established in 1921, its institutional culture (personnel, finances, communications etc) and its contacts with influential figures in politics and the press. The thesis examines the mission?s propaganda campaign by examining the literature produced, particularly the bi-weekly Irische Bulletin, relating it to wider separatist ideology and propaganda and to German press coverage of Ireland. ; TARA (Trinity?s Access to Research Archive) has a robust takedown policy.

Robins reviews 'Contemporary British Politics and Government' by P. Cocker and A. Jones.

This entry has been realised in the framework of the H2020-MSCA-RISE-2018 project "LoGov - Local Government and the Changing Urban-Rural Interplay". LoGov aims to provide solutions for local governments that address the fundamental challenges resulting from urbanisation. To address this complex issue, 18 partners from 17 countries and six continents share their expertise and knowledge in the realms of public law, political science, and public administration. LoGov identifies, evaluates, compares, and shares innovative practices that cope with the impact of changing urban-rural relations in five major local government areas: (1) local responsibilities and public services, (2) local financial arrangements, (3) structure of local government, (4) intergovernmental relations of local governments, and (5) people's participation in local decision-making. The present entry addresses local responsibilities and public services in Germany. The entry forms part of the LoGov Report on Germany. To access the full version of the report on Germany, other practices regarding responsibilities and public services and to receive more information about the project, please visit: https://www.logov-rise.eu/. This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 823961.

EL Sr. Embajador de Alemania hizo una reseña de la Unificación Alemana, marcando la oportunidad histórica de la misma, haciendo una crítica a los sectores flexibles para con los regímenes comunistas de Alemania del Este, Europa Meridional y del Este, los que, aún siendo minoritarios tenían influencia política, y señalando que el objetivo prioritario de la Política Exterior Alemana durante 40 años -La Unidad Nacional-, se cumplió en unos meses durante 1990. También destacó los compromisos asumidos por Alemania al momento de la Unificación: compromisos políticos, sociales y económicos que hoy pesan fuertemente sobre lo que fuera Alemania Occidental: Un endeudamiento interno agravado en un 15% para 1995 respecto de 1990; una productividad de Alemania Oriental de un 30% respecto de la de Alemania Occidental y una gran desocupación y reconstrucción de la economía que pesan sobre el Sector Occidental de Alemania. Por otra parte, Alemania puja por un futuro Orden Mundial delineado por lo que se denominaría la Pax Democrática Internacional, donde el afianzamiento de la Paz sólo le cabría a las Democracias- las reales democracias ya que ellas en razón de sus estructuras internas, están prácticamente imposibilitadas de agredir. En lo que a la seguridad Internacional para Alemania se refiere, el Sr. Embajador destacó que la OTAN, la Conferencia de Seguridad y Cooperación Europea y la Comunidad Europea son estructuras irrenunciables, deteniéndose en cada estructura a fin de señalar los objetivos de Alemania en cada una. Finalmente, una Alemania en Naciones unidas, (en un futuro miembro del Consejo de Seguridad), parte integrante de una Europa fuertemente regionalizada, con una ya importante tradición Democrática y Económica, aunada a la continuidad de una Política Exterior equilibrada, moderada y cooperativa, alejan el fantasma de una Alemania "demasiado fuerte", acorde con lo expuesto por el máximo representante de Alemania en nuestro país. ; The German Ambassador reviewed the unification of Germany. He outlined its historical oportunity, and criticized some groups that had been too ductile towards East Germany, Meridional and Eastern Europe Communists Regimes. Those groups -though being a minority exerted an important political influence. He also remarked that national unification, which had been an essential objective of German foreign policy for 40 years, was achieved in a few months during 1990. The Embassador also pointed out the social, political and economic obligations wich were assumed by West Germany when the unification took place. West Germany will have in 1995 an internal debt 15% higher than in 1990. The productivity of East Germany compared to West Germany is only 30%. In addition to great unemployement there is the problem of the complete restructuring of the East German economic structure. On the other hand, Germany is moving towars a future World Order based on an "International Democratic Pax", peace would be garanteed by democracies -real democracies- due to their internal structures are practically uncapable of acts of aggression. Regarding the German international security, he underlined the importance of OTAN, OCDE and EC for his country and pointed out the interests of Germany in each organism. Finally, he stated that unified Germany in the United Nations (a future member of the Security Council); part of a regionalized Europe, with an impor-tant Democratic and Economical tradition and whith a moderate, balanced and cooperative foreing policy, moves away, the ghost of a "Germany too strong". ; Instituto de Relaciones Internacionales (IRI)
