In the third issue of the Yearbook of the Centre for Irish-German Studies, the editors have again endeavoured to provide all those interested in Ireland and the German-speaking countries with up-to-date information on current affairs, historical developments, and new perspectives in Irish-German relations. To this end, the Yearbook covers matters political, cultural, social, economic, and educational, thus stressing the multi-disciplinary character of Irish-German Studies.

We have been fortunate to attract contributors from very different professional backgrounds, both academic and non-academic, so as to ensure that the Yearbook transcends the traditional borders of scholarly publications and encompasses the widest possible spectrum of viewpoints and perspectives; consequently, we have again given a platform to those engaged in the practice of Irish-German relations (Part IV).

Last year’s feature on Austria has been followed up with more contributions on Irish-Austrian and Austrian affairs (in Parts I and III). The continuing commitment of the Centre towards all German-speaking countries is reflected in the feature on Switzerland in this issue (Part II). Irish-Swiss relations have not received much scholarly attention in the past, despite the fact that the two countries have more in common than many might at first think, and we hope that the contributions in this issue will lead to more research activity in this interesting field.

With this issue, Marieke Krajenbrink is taking over as joint editor from Gisela Holfter, reflecting the introduction of a system by which the editorship of the Yearbook rotates among the Centre’s research team.
