  • Michael Murphy and Jan Smaczny (Eds), Music in Nineteenth-Century Ireland
    Michael Murphy and Jan Smaczny (eds), Music in Nineteenth-Century Ireland MICHAEL MURPHY AND JAN SMACZNY (EDS.), MUSIC IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY IRELAND (Dublin: Four Courts Press, 2007), ISBN 978-1-84682-024-3, 336pp, €55 Let me start by declaring my colours. I come to this volume as a scholar of British music history, and one who has been occasionally puzzled by the lukewarm interest shown by musicologists in the relationships between Irish and British musical affairs in the Victorian period, despite the immediacy of cultural matters relating to Ireland (particularly Dublin) and its people in just about any London newspaper of the time, and the historical reality of a United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland after the Act of Union of 1800. This blind spot appears particularly to affect specialists in British musical life, especially those from British backgrounds (some perhaps carrying pre- conceptions about the shape and identity of Britain and Ireland that have been forged in more recent times), Stanford biographers and a few others excepted. Our Irish counterparts, and probably most of the readers of this journal, on the other hand, seem far more willing to reach out and make connections, as has been demonstrated by the growing presence of speakers on Irish topics at the biennial Music in Nineteenth- Century Britain conference—usually scholars hailing from or working in Ireland. The roll-call of authors in Michael Murphy’s and Jan Smaczny’s edited volume of fifteen essays on music in nineteenth-century Ireland bears out these observations, with all bar one, to my knowledge, having strong connections with Ireland, and a few teasing out relationships between the two cultures in their contributions.

  • Comparative Health Politics: the United States and the United Kingdom
    Editor’s Note Comparative Health Politics: The United States and the United Kingdom The enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 moves the United States closer to the norm of universal insurance cover- age embraced by the rest of the industrialized world. To be sure, even with the new legislation, the United States will not have a system of uni- versal insurance coverage: there still will be 15 – 18 million uninsured, even after the complicated combination of Medicaid expansions, insur- ance exchanges, federal subsidies, tax credits, mandates, regulations, and fiscal penalties goes into effect in 2014. So while there certainly is a story of convergence (as the United States moves closer to the international norm), there is still a story of divergence (as we discuss next steps to help the remaining uninsured). A cross- national comparison on insurance coverage is part of a broader set of cross- national comparisons on health systems more generally. Why the emphasis on such comparisons? Is there utility beyond national pride (or shame) when the latest effort to rank health systems is released? Do nations learn from others’ experiences? How do we consider cross- national efforts to cope with a common set of problems (rising costs, uneven qual- ity, inefficient delivery systems), while simultaneously acknowledging and accounting for the unique historical, political, cultural, and economic con- texts within each nation? Are health systems around the world converging around particular financing or delivery strategies? One of the leaders in the effort to consider these cross- national issues is Adam Oliver, a health and behavioral economist at the London School Journal of Health Politics, Policy and Law, Vol.

  • War in the Shadows: Ira Intimidation and Assassination, 1919-1921
    WAR IN THE SHADOWS: IRA INTIMIDATION AND ASSASSINATION, 1919-1921. by Michael Aaron Cannady A thesis submitted to the faculty of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Charlotte 2014 Approved by: ____________________________ Dr. Peter Thorsheim ____________________________ Dr. David Johnson ____________________________ Dr. Steven Sabol ii ©2014 Michael Aaron Cannady ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii ABSTRACT MICHAEL AARON CANNADY. War in the shadows: ira intimidation and assassination, 1919-1921. (Under the direction of DR. PETER THORSHEIM) This work addresses a gap in the historiography of the Irish revolution: the use of intimidation and assassination by the IRA. Although some studies have focused on whether IRA assassinations were justified, little scholarship exists about their effect on British policy in Ireland or their role in altering public perception of the conflict in Ireland. Historians have written even less about IRA intimidation during the Irish revolution, even though people were more likely to be a victim of intimidation than to be involved in a gun battle. This thesis examines the ways in which IRA intimidation and assassination affected British public opinion of the conflict in Ireland, and it considers the role that these actions played in forcing the British government to seek a truce with the Irish republicans. I argue that the IRA’s campaign of intimidation and assassination was the most important tactic in forcing the British government to seek a treaty with the members of the provisional Irish Republican government. iv DEDICATION This work is dedicated to Irene, my Mom and Dad, and Mick.
