Documents on Irish Foreign Policy Volume XI, 1957-1961

This volume covers the five critical years from 1956 to 1961 in Irish foreign policy when, at the height of the Cold War, Ireland played a central role between East and West at the UN General Assembly on issues ranging from nuclear disarmament to apartheid to the admission of Communist China. Significantly, it also covers the years that Irish Defence Forces personnel first participated in peacekeeping missions with the United Nations. 

Acest volum acopera cei cinci ani critici din 1956 pana in 1961 in politica externa irlandeza, cand, la apogeul Razboiului Rece, Irlanda a jucat un rol central intre Est si Vest la Adunarea Generala a ONU pe chestiuni care variaza de la dezarmarea nucleara la apartheid si la admiterea al Chinei comuniste. In mod semnificativ, acopera, de asemenea, anii in care personalul Fortelor de Aparare Irlandeze a participat pentru prima data la misiuni de mentinere a pacii la Organizatia Natiunilor Unite.
