CONSTITUTIONALISM IN IRELAND 1932-1938 - DONAL ...

The first of two volumes  this book examines constitutionalism in Ireland in the 1930s. Donal
K. Coffey places the document and its drafters in the context of a turbulent decade for the
United Kingdom  the Commonwealth  and Europe. He considers a series of key issues leading up to
its drafting  including the failure of the 1922 Constitution  the rise of nationalism in the
1920s and 1930s  and the abdication of Edward VIII. He sketches the drafting process  examines
the roles of individual drafters and their intellectual influences  and considers the
Constitution's public reception  both domestically and internationally. This book illuminates a
critical moment in Irish history and the confluence of national  Commonwealth  and
international influences that gave rise to it  for scholars of Irish history as well as of
legal  constitutional  and Commonwealth history more broadly.
