The Demands of Substantive Decolonisation: Brexit and Ireland as a Matter of Justice (2021)
Journal Article
(2021). The Demands of Substantive Decolonisation: Brexit and Ireland as a Matter of Justice. Irish Political Studies, https://doi.org/10.1080/07907184.2021.1877899

Although the impact Brexit might have on Ireland has generated a vast array of critical analyses, insufficient attention has been paid to this project as a question of justice or a matter of potential injustice. It is suggested here that the relative... Read More about The Demands of Substantive Decolonisation: Brexit and Ireland as a Matter of Justice.
