What is Dissecting Irish Politics: Essays In Honour Of Brian Farrell; Ed. By Tom Garvin about?

Written by friends and former students, this volume of essays is a tribute to Brian Farrell in his multiple roles as political scientist, teacher and broadcaster. Brian Farrell's work dealt with three areas and the essays in this book address each of them. Thus, in relation to the origins and sources of the Irish political system and Irish political culture, the book includes essays on the creation of the Irish political elite, on de Valera and democracy and on the pre-history of the Irish party system. In the area of political institutions and governance, it includes a chapter on the role of the ombudsman by a former ombudsman and one on the role of the Taoiseach by a former Taoiseach. Finally, the book turns to the subject of political communication, where Brian balanced the dual role of professor and practitioner with consummate ease.
