Unequal Achievement - the Irish Experience 1957-1982

Very good treatise by the Institute of Public Administration. It has 16 Contributors - each expert in their own field of Governance -
government, state-sponsored bodies, foreign affairs and developments in the law.

Unequal Achievement is a major analysis of Irish contemporary history, in which sixteen contributors each give their specialist view of the last twenty-five years of the Irish experience. The book was originally published as a special issue of Administration, to celebrate the founding twenty-five years ago of the Institute of Public Administration.
