The Two Unions : Ireland, Scotland, and the Survival of the United Kingdom, 1707-2007

有關英國衰落的文章已有很多。兩個聯盟的目的不僅在於聯盟的長期生存，而在於研究有助於延長其壽命的機構、結構和個人。為了了解它的生存狀態，作者是現代愛爾蘭最重要的歷史學家之一，也是英愛關係史上的一位作者，他們對愛爾蘭和蘇格蘭聯盟的歷史淵源和後續發展進行了比較。

他詳細研究了蘇格蘭和愛爾蘭兩個相互聯繫的工會運動。Alvin Jackson不僅闡述了過去300年來英國的歷史和各種健康狀況，還闡述了其現狀和前景。

Much has been written about the decline of the United Kingdom. The Two Unions looks instead at the lengthy survival of the Union, examining the institutions, structures, and individuals that have contributed to its longevity. In order to understand its survival, the author, one of the foremost historians of modern Ireland and of the British-Irish relationship, sustains a comparison between the Irish and Scots Unions, their respective origins and subsequent development.

He provides a detailed examination of the two interlinked Unionist movements in Scotland and Ireland. Alvin Jackson illuminates not only the history and varied health of the United Kingdom over the past 300 years, but also its present condition and prospects.
