{"product_id":"democracy-and-dissent-in-the-jason-knirck-9781526166272","title":"Democracy and Dissent in the Irish Free State: Opposition, Decolonisation, and Majority Rights","description":"A new analysis of the difficulties in normalising opposition in the Irish Free State, this book analyses the collision between nineteenth-century monolithic nationalist movements with the norms and expectations of multiparty parliamentary democracy. The Irish revolutionaries' attempts to create a Gaelic, postcolonial state involved resolving tension between these two ideas. Smaller economically-driven parties such as the Labour and Farmers' parties attempted to move on from the revolution's unnatural focus on nationalist political issues while the larger revolutionary parties descended from Sinn F駟n attempt to recreate or restore notions of revolutionary unity. This conflict made democracy and opposition hard to establish in the Irish Free State.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jason Knirck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526166275\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526166272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/21\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Jason Knirck","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44073735487743,"sku":"9781526166272","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5e8bc473-22b8-4077-a31e-138b9c28606b.jpg?v=1685449594","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/democracy-and-dissent-in-the-jason-knirck-9781526166272","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
