The high water level has now reached what city officials see as a critical point. Venice has always been sinking, slowly – over the last 1,000 years it has sunk an average 7 cm each century. But recent reports suggest that in the last century alone the city has lowered by about 24 cm, so that the level it is sinking to is now critical. To stop Venice sinking, the city is debating investing in huge steel gates to block the floods. The cost may be as much as €2-€4 billion. But will this be enough to stop Venice sinking? For years, Venice has been one of my own favourite cities.

  • Senator Edward Kennedy and the “Ulster Troubles”: Irish and Irish-American Politics, 1965- 2009
    206 Historical Journal of Massachusetts • Summer 2011 The United Kingdom and Ireland Today 207 Senator Edward Kennedy and the “Ulster Troubles”: Irish and Irish-American Politics, 1965- 2009 ANDREW SANDERS Editor’s Introduction: In 1921 Ireland was partitioned into two sections: Northern Ireland was composed of the six predominantly Protestant counties of Ulster, while Southern Ireland was made up of the remaining twenty-six, predominantly Catholic counties. Both Northern and Southern Ireland remained part of Great Britain. The next year, Irish nationalist leaders negotiated two treaties with Britain that created the Irish Free State, which had “dominion” status within the British Commonwealth but fell short of full independence. Northern Ireland chose to opt out of the Irish Free State, choosing instead to remain fully a part of the United Kingdom. “The Troubles” refers to approximately three decades of violence characterized by the armed campaigns of Irish republican and Ulster loyalist paramilitary groups. The duration is conventionally dated from the late 1960s to the Belfast “Good Friday” Agreement of 1998. The conflict involved the constitutional status of Northern Ireland and the relationship between the predominantly Protestant unionist and predominantly Catholic nationalist communities there. “The Troubles” had both political and military dimensions. Historical Journal of Massachusetts, Vol. 39 (1 & 2), Summer 2011 © Institute for Massachusetts Studies, Westfield State University 208 Historical Journal of Massachusetts • Summer 2011 This time period encompassed the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) campaign of 1969–1997, intended to end British rule in Northern Ireland and to reunite Ireland politically. As the following article demonstrates, Massachusetts Senator Edward (“Ted”) Kennedy played an instrumental role in promoting a constitutional resolution to the conflict.

Over the last five years the summer school has grown from strength to strength and it is now a significant Larry Donnelly feature of the political, social and media landscapes each September. This has made our task in seeking to attract such a broad range of contributors all the easier. Over two and a half days from the 7th to 9th of September, the Kennedy Summer School will again tackle the important topical issues in Irish and U.S. politics, with top commentators from both sides of the Atlantic. Dr. Brian Murphy The Trump presidency and Brexit will inevitably be important topics for discussion. We have also gathered a panel of leading historians to assess the legacy of President John F. Kennedy, 100 years on from his birth. We are also thrilled that we will be joined this year by two of the most impressive practitioners of the art of political discourse; the veteran campaign strategist Bob Shrum, who has been central to many U.S. presidential campaigns, and Cody Keenan, who was chief speech writer for President Obama. We have also enhanced the opportunity for audience participation over the weekend by introducing a series of public interviews, including with RTE U.S. Correspondent, Caitriona Perry and the Democratic Unionist MP, Ian Paisley.
