Booklaunch: Further Reflections on the Irish State

cover.jpgDr. Garret FitzGerald will launch his most recent book, Further Reflections on the Irish State  at 7:45 - during the reception for the above event.  Dr. FitzGerald was twice Taoiseach, from 1981 to 1982 and again from late 1982 to 1987, and was the driving force behind the Anglo-Irish Agreement of 1985. In this extensive collection, including pieces drawn from essays and speeches delivered over the past several years, Dr FitzGerald examines the emergence of the Irish state, the Northern Ireland question and the position of Ireland in relation to Europe, the US and the wider world.  Dr. FitzGerald’s previous book, Reflections on the Irish State (Irish Academic Press, 2003) also received an American launch at Glucksman Ireland House, and was met with excellent reviews.

 

This event is cosponsored by the Center for European and Mediterranean Studies at New York University.
