"Changing Shades of Orange and Green explores in detail the theme of change within the major political traditions of Ireland. It adopts a dual approach, in which a set of leading politicians examines the theme of change within particular traditions, followed by a corresponding set of contributions from academic observers." "John Coakley provides a detailed introduction to constitutional innovation and political change in twentieth-century Ireland, and the appendix contains selected political documents outlining the various perspectives on the future of Northern Ireland. This book will be essential reading for students of Irish Politics."--Jacket.
