Selected Peer-Reviewed Journal Articles, Conference Papers, and Public Policy Submissions
My research interests underpin my Seanad Éireann legislative and policy programme. I have included a number of papers under three headings of Gender & Education, Irish Neutrality, and Ireland & the European Union here. These contributions to my own academic discipline can enable prospective voters to make an informed decision on my expertise, values, and policy agenda.

Welcome to the website of Dr. Karen Devine.
Here you'll find out about the work I do as a lecturer, media contributor, activist, election candidate, and my research output in the form of conference papers, peer-reviewed journal articles, and NGO publications.
My latest publication is on Ireland's approach to Nuclear Disarmament in the context of her membership of the European Union and as a member of the United Nations, with a long history of neutrality-based activism in this area. It might prove interesting reading in the context of Ireland's recent election to one of the non-permanent seats at the UN Security Council for a two-year term commencing. What foreign policy initiatives will she champion?

A sheep in wolf’s clothing?
