North-South and East-West Structures: A Review of Unionist and Nationalist Perspectives

i28056

The document reviews the differing perspectives of unionists and nationalists regarding North-South and East-West structures. Nationalists favor closer economic cooperation between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, hoping it will lead to political unification through a process akin to neo-functionalism seen in the European Union. Unionists, on the other hand, prefer intergovernmentalism, which promotes cooperation while maintaining sovereign boundaries and allowing participating countries to control the decision-making process. The document also discusses various proposals, including the SDLP's vision for a North-South Council of Ministers and the UUP's proposal for a Council of the British Isles, highlighting the fundamental differences in their approaches to cooperation and integration.
