My Politics MA thesis (AKA How I Spent My Summer)

I was asked by Dr. Mike Cosgrave to consider posting my thesis as a PDF file to my blog. I've agreed to do so, since I wouldn't mind getting my work out to an audience larger than those who might stumble across it in the UCC library basement. It might also help anyone planning to do a minor thesis at some point, and show an example of the kind of work you might be expected to do. At the very least, I'd like people to read it; I've been told it's an interesting topic, hopefully I've done it justice.

You can find it here.

That said, I don't know how good a piece of work this is. I haven't got a result yet, which isn't surprising really, as the submission date isn't until Friday. This is purely an example of a thesis. I merely hope that it's a good example. We'll find out soon enough.

Edit: Results are out, it's a good'un! I didn't expect a First, but I'll take it!
