This article examines the process of democratic stabilization in inter-war Ireland. The Irish case is a classic example of what Linz calls re-equilibration. Re-equilibration is a political process that, following a crisis which has seriously endangered democratic institutions, results in their continued existence at the same or higher levels of effectiveness and legitimacy. The contention of the article is that the Fianna Fail party's transformation of the democratic institutions of the Irish Free State in the 1930s constituted a case of democratic re-equilibration, whereby the institutions of independent Ireland were given a greater degree of effectiveness and legitimacy. Indeed, since the main Irish parties had only recently been involved in a civil war, the Irish example could well be the classic case of re-equilibration this century. The analysis of democratic re-equilibration between 1922 and 1937 focuses on the Fianna Fail party's transformation from being a semi-loyal opposition party to being a party of government, emphasizing the impact on those political actors who remained hostile to the existence of the Free State. |
