Eurotexts and Eurothought
If it is possible to measure interest in the European Community by the numbers of scholarly publications about that topic then interest today is probably greater than it has been at any time since the end of the Second World War, particularly among European political scientists. But in the absence of any reliable counts of the numbers of such publications it is my guess that the increase is not much more than marginal. Indeed, those advocating or…

Obstacles to Equality
The Gay Rights movement in the United States, like other social movements, may achieve its goal of full equality before the law through actions by the legislatures or courts. Generally, action by the latter opens the door to concessions by the former. But the Gay Rights movement has not progressed as its adherents have wished for four reasons: (1) the unpopularity of homosexuals; (2) the disjointed nature of American government(s); (3) the absenc…
Comment on Katz
Professor Katz raises a number of points, but I shall limit myself to four. Firstly, I accept his argument that the way in which parties nominate candidates, even over-nomination, may be functional for party unity. Indeed, nowhere in the previous articles has anything else been suggested.

The Used Vote and Electoral Outcomes
In an earlier article in this Journal (‘The Used Vote and Electoral Outcomes: The Irish General Election of 1973’, V (1975), 363–83) we argued that in elections generally the critical concern of political party leaders is not how many votes they may amass. Instead, they need to be concerned with how many votes of those they receive they are actually able to use to elect candidates. It matters little if party A wins Constituency 1 by thousands of …

The Economic Performance of Military Regimes
The military regime has now become a common phenomenon throughout the world. Research on the military in low-income systems used to focus on the military coup rather than on the military regime, but in recent years this imbalance has lessened. Moreover, many of the old ‘standard findings’ about military regimes have come to be rejected. It is fitting that they should have been since they tended to be the products more of stereotyping and inadequa…
Performance and Instability in Military and Nonmilitary Regime Systems
The analysis of military regimes, as opposed to military coups, has attracted comparatively little attention. This paper examines whether the political, military, and economic performance of systems which have experienced a military regime differs from the performance of systems which have not. The comparison between the performance of these two types of system is then used to examine the validity of the occurrence of a military regime as an indi…
A Comparative Analysis of the Political and Economic Performance of Military and Civilian Regimes
The Used Vote and Electoral Outcomes
In the 1969 Irish general election, the outgoing government party, Fianna Fail, was once again returned with a majority of seats in the Dail Eireann; it had been in power since 1957. All but one of the remaining seats were distributed between Fine Gael and Labour, which fought the election as separate parties. In 1973, Fine Gael and Labour agreed to form a coalition to fight the coming election and won a majority despite the fact that Fianna Fail…
Continuity and Change in the Irish Political Elite
In a recent article in this Journal several conclusions concerning career patterns in the Irish political elite were drawn A.S. Cohan, ‘Career Patterns in the Irish Political Elite’, II (1972), 213–28. First, the revolutionary generation was shown to have effectively passed from the political scene. This was bound to happen with the passage of so many years since the war for independence. Second, the local orientation of the members of the Dail w…
Career Patterns in the Irish Political Elite
In 1919, three years after the Easter Rising in Dublin, a revolutionary government was established in Ireland. This government, the Dail Eireann, was the forerunner of the Irish Free State that ultimately resulted from the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1922. Slightly more than fifty years have elapsed since the union of Ireland and Great Britain was formally dissolved and, in that period of time, many changes have occurred in both the social and politica…
