This FLF is driven by an overarching research question: was Ireland a laboratory for the 'ends' of the British Empire as much as it was for its creation (Ohlmeyer; Kenny)?To answer it, this project takes a global, interdisciplinary approach with a collaborative team situated across History, Political Science, International Relations, Public Policy, media, and the creative arts. This team will consider how policymakers and those who implemented policy, anti-colonial activists, Irish settlers and diasporas, and proponents of internationalism, approached the question of Ireland within the British Empire, and how the legacies of those interactions shaped the 'ends' of the Empire system.Part of this project's innovation rests on considering elites, such as colonial administrators and policymakers, alongside activists whose ideas and activities contributed to decolonisation. These groups are rarely in conversation with each other. Nor are they in discussion with public policy practitioners today, who 1) seek to use lessons from the past to adjudicate on future policy 2) manage a fractured post-Brexit British-Irish landscape, with consequences for Northern Ireland, and 3) devise policies to deal with the legacies of the Empire in different national contexts.The first major work package reconstructs a global history of policies and policymakers whose experience working on Irish affairs and drawing 'solutions' for Ireland shaped the exercise of imperial rule in Palestine, Kenya, India, and the construction of the Commonwealth. The second work package takes a global view of anti-colonial activism using the Irish as connective tissue. Black Atlantic intellectuals developing pan-African nationalism looked to Ireland to understand Irish nationalist successes, failures, and contextual differences, shaping pan-African ideas and movements such as Garveyism (Getachew). Indian and Jamaican activists adopted party names, causes and agendas based on Irish models, including 'Home Rule for India', swaraj, and the 'Our Own' movement, modelled on Irish republican party, Sinn Féin, trans. 'Ourselves Alone'(O'Malley). The third and fourth packages address aspects of the changing geopolitical environment during and after the First World War. They explore how diasporic Irish constituencies at senior levels within Ireland and the White Dominions loosened ties from London, while others in Ireland and the USA lobbied for the shaping and breaking of empire using international discourses and organisations, such as the League of Nations. The 'cultural' mechanisms of anti-colonial resistance using music, literature, poetry, and film will be explored in years 5-7. While there was no 'domino effect' of decolonisation, this project follows Darwin (2009) in his claim that the various military, economic, familial, ideological, and cultural components of empire 'ended' at different times and were responsive to dramatically evolving contexts. And my contention is that the Irish were practically, figuratively, and ideologically implicated in them all.The empirical study complements a series of co-designed knowledge exchange activities with non-academic partners, who will be consulted on the design of the academic research from the outset. The partnerships will produce transferable recommendations for other collaborative groups via a series of workshops in three areas: education, public policy, and broadcast TV. In addition, it will deliver project-specific outputs including a graphic novel and Minecraft world computer game (the Nerve Centre), public policy papers (the Bennett Institute, History and Policy, Institute for International and European Affairs), and a TV documentary series (Midas). The timely political climate, with ongoing debates over the Northern Ireland Protocol and Black Lives Matter reviving discussions on empire, is ripe for aiding knowledge exchange and understanding, as well as 'resilience' and 'reconciliation'.

这个 FLF 是由一个总体研究问题驱动的：爱尔兰是大英帝国“目的”的实验室，还是大英帝国创建的实验室（Ohlmeyer；肯尼）？为了回答这个问题，该项目采用了全球性、跨学科的方法，一个横跨历史、政治学、国际关系、公共政策、媒体和创意艺术的协作团队该团队将考虑政策制定者和政策执行者、反殖民活动人士、爱尔兰定居者和侨民以及支持者。国际主义，探讨了大英帝国内部的爱尔兰问题，以及这些互动的遗产如何塑造帝国体系的“目的”。该项目的部分创新在于考虑精英，如殖民管理者和政策制定者，以及积极分子的想法这些团体很少相互交谈，也很少与公共政策从业者进行讨论，他们 1) 寻求利用过去的经验教训来裁决未来的政策 2) 管理英国脱欧后支离破碎的局面。英国-爱尔兰景观，对北爱尔兰的影响，以及3）制定政策来处理不同国家背景下的帝国遗产。第一个主要工作包重建了政策和政策制定者的全球历史，他们在爱尔兰事务上工作并绘制了经验爱尔兰的“解决方案”塑造了在巴勒斯坦、肯尼亚、印度的帝国统治以及英联邦的建设。第二个工作包以爱尔兰作为结缔组织发展的反殖民主义行动为蓝本。泛非民族主义希望通过爱尔兰来了解爱尔兰民族主义的成功、失败和背景差异，从而塑造泛非思想和运动，例如印度和牙买加活动家采用了基于爱尔兰模式的政党名称、事业和议程，其中包括。 “印度地方自治”，swaraj，以及效仿爱尔兰共和党的“我们自己的”运动，新芬党，译“我们自己”（奥马利）。第三和第四个方案涉及第一次世界大战期间和之后不断变化的地缘政治环境的各个方面，它们探讨了爱尔兰和白人自治领内的高层移民爱尔兰选民如何放松与伦敦的联系，而爱尔兰和美国的其他人则为塑造这一局势进行游说。利用国际话语和组织（例如国际联盟）打破帝国。利用音乐、文学、诗歌和电影进行反殖民抵抗的“文化”机制将在第 5-7 年进行探索。由于非殖民化的“多米诺骨牌效应”，该项目遵循达尔文（2009）的主张，即帝国的各种军事、经济、家庭、意识形态和文化组成部分在不同时间“结束”，并对急剧变化的环境做出反应。爱尔兰人在实践上、形象上和意识形态上都与这些活动有关。实证研究补充了一系列与非学术合作伙伴共同设计的知识交流活动，他们将就学术设计的设计进行咨询。这些合作伙伴关系将通过教育、公共政策和广播电视三个领域的一系列研讨会为其他合作团体提供可转让的建议。此外，还将提供特定项目的成果，包括图画小说和《我的世界》世界。电脑游戏（神经中心）、公共政策论文（贝内特研究所、历史与政策、国际和欧洲事务研究所）和电视纪录片系列（迈达斯）及时的政治气候，以及关于北爱尔兰协议的持续辩论。和“黑人生命也是命”复兴关于帝国的讨论对于帮助知识交流和理解以及“弹性”和“和解”来说已经成熟。
