Border flashpoints for conflict: is the Anglo-Irish Common Travel Area agreement relevant to the Russo-Ukraine war?
b'Dr. McAlister talks about the history of the Common Travel Area agreement between the United Kingdom and Ireland which is 100 years old this year. Not confined to travel, this agreement has underpinned peaceful and constructive relations between the UK and Ireland. Dr. McAlister will examine parallels between the Anglo-Irish wars of the 19th and early 20th centuries and the current war between Russia and Ukraine. He will ask if the CTA is a mechanism to prevent border flashpoints of war.'
