When the relationship has been tense, we have seen the worst effects at the Irish border in the form of violence, controls, and barriers. However, when the relationship has been good, the Irish border has become open, invisible, and criss-crossed with connections. Throughout its short existence, the symbolism of the border has remained just as important as its practical impact.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the UK's exit from the European Union, the challenge of managing the Irish border as a source and a symbol of British-Irish difference became an international concern. The solution found in the UK-EU Withdrawal Agreement gives the Irish border a globally unique status.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA century after partition, and as we enter the post-Brexit era, this book considers what we should know and do about this highly complex and ever-contested boundary line. Written by leading social scientists, the What Do We Know and What Should We Do About...? series offers concise, up-to-date overviews of issues often oversimplified, misrepresented, or misunderstood and shows you how to enact change.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShort, sharp, and compelling. - Alex Preston, The Observer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you want to learn a lot about what matters most, in as short a time as possible, this is the series for you. - Danny Dorling, 1971 Professor of Geography, University of Oxford\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 160g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 188 x 366 x 12 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781529770650                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Katy Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44102406930682,"sku":"9781529770650","price":14.15,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/cc9181bad22cd9a1168bfb36a2ec4801.jpg?v=1636346503","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/what-do-we-know-and-what-should-we-do-about-the-irish-border","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
