The purpose of the book is to explore and explicate the origins,
evolution and mobilisation of anti-war activism in Ireland from the
1950s. The author applies postcolonial critical perspectives alongside
social movement theory to define the multifaceted Irish approach to
different international conflicts from the creation of the Irish
Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (1958) to the current war in Ukraine.
Meticulously researched, the chapters develop an analysis of the
anti-war activism in Ireland, be it at a local, national or
supranational level, from political parties, trade unions and civil
associations. The book casts light on the factors that structure the
Irish domestication of the conflicts under study, be they historical
and connected to senses of national identity in the Irish Republic and
Northern Ireland, or strategic, diplomatic and religious.
