About this listen

Will Ireland really reunite?

Throughout the century since partition the unification of the two parts of the island seemed impossible. Many still feel that it is, particularly because of the bloody legacy of past conflict.

However, by 2030, if not sooner, Ulster unionists' demographic and electoral advantages will be over. And in the light of Brexit, the rising popularity of Sinn Féin, political developments both sides of the border, and within Great Britain, Irish unification referendums will become increasingly likely. Yet even those who want these to happen are not prepared.

Making Sense of a United Ireland is a landmark exploration of this most contentious of issues. Distinguished political scientist Brendan O'Leary—a global expert on divided places, who has been profoundly engaged with the Irish question for nearly four decades—argues that the time to consider the future of the island of Ireland is now.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

Should be required reading for everyone - including unionists - who are interested in and concerned about the fate of this island (Andy Pollak)
A highly impressive piece of research . . . several books have been written about this subject in 2022 alone, but for sheer intellectual firepower O'Leary wins first prize (Andrew Lynch)
Brilliant (Brian Feeney)
