Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Peter Murray is a British-born author living with his wife and daughter in Greater Manchester, England. After graduating from university, he started work as an engineer and began writing short stories in the evening for his daughter to read. This progressed into the completion of his first children's book, Eggsville. He aims to provide children with fun and fantastical stories that help them question and discover the world they are living in today. Peter continues to write stories and hopes to make the jump from part-time storyteller, to full-time author very soon.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

This book examines how the balance of power between the Irish state and the Catholic Church has shifted since the middle of the twentieth century, through a case study of knowledge institutions engaged in social science teaching and research. Inhabiting a sphere once monopolised by the Church, such institutions became increasingly aligned with state projects from the end of the 1950s. As a result, when the Church later sought to use sociological arguments to resist liberalising changes in law and policy, opposing views were able to claim the legitimacy of expertise and the issue of public trust became crucial.

This is the first book to examine church–state relations in detail since John Whyte's seminal study Church and State in Modern Ireland was revised in 1980. Since then both Church and state archives have been opened and a mass of important new material has become available to scholars. This material supports a significantly different interpretation of the dynamics of the church–state relationship to that put forward by Whyte.

With a cast of characters as diverse as Sean Lemass, T. K. Whitaker, Archbishop John Charles McQuaid and Father Denis Fahey, Church, state and social science in Ireland will appeal to a wide readership interested in modern Irish history. It is also aimed at academics and students for whom it can serve as a textbook on national and international contexts of the emergence of the contemporary 'developmental' Irish state.
