Once an academic backwater, modern Irish history now has a place of consequence in educational provision in many countries. A few decades ago university courses on Irish history were a rarity, now they can be widely found. Whereas much of the periodical literature was once confined to a single specialist journal, Irish Historical Studies, founded in 1938, there is now a number of outlets for academic and popular works on Ireland. Moreover, leading general periodicals frequently contain articles either on Irish history or on issues in which Ireland plays a part. The problem for non-specialists and students then is not too little but too much accessible material. Certainly, some of the explosion of interest is a result of the expansion of higher education since the 1960s, but there has also been a growing realisation that modern Ireland is a significant case study for analyses of nationalism, resistance to nationalism, ethnicity, religious influence, land reform, violence, migration, the founding of new states, economic development, decolonialisation, international relations of small countries and other questions. Irelands experience is seen as germane to many aspects of overseas development as well as to the British Isles and has been a popular area of discussion in nations with substantial Irish disapora populations.
