Abstract
This essay begins with a summary overview of emergent intellectual
trends that are redefining the study of empire today. It then charts a history of modern Irish
scholarship on empire, discussing the achievements and limitations of Atlantic History,
Commonwealth History, and postcolonial studies.1 The piece closes with a discus- sion of how
Empire Studies in Ireland might be reoriented in the future so as to deal not only with Irish
responses to the now-vanished British Empire but also to the wider European imperial system and to
the American neo-imperialism that emerged in its wake.
