Bouleversements territoriaux et migrations forcées au XXe siècle en Pologne

Irreconcilable cultural and economic differences caused the Partition of Ireland in 1921. The complex intermingling of Catholic Nationalist and Protestant Unionist on the ground meant that the International Boundary created unredeemed minorities and a deep sense of injustice. This legacy helps to explain the contemporary conflict in Ireland. The Boundary, through its influence upon migration and demographic change, has been an important factor in creating distinctive democratic regimes in the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland. The impact of the Boundary is seen most clearly in the destructive and selective economic, social and para-military activities of the boundary adjacent zones. Today the boundary zones contain the spatial distillation of contradictory cultural and political aspirations. National perceptions continue to dominate group behaviour despite the growth of supranational integration and the decline of state boundaries elsewhere in the European Community
