Ireland’s traditional preference was to straddle different geopolitical arenas, the European, the UK, the US and the global without having to choose either Berlin or Boston. Brexit and the election of Donald Trump as US President unsettled Ireland’s external environment and its geopolitical anchors.
In response, Ireland made a decisive choice for Europe. Membership of the European Union (E...2019-11-061h 15
