Using archival materials, we reflect on the legal process of creating (and mitigating) a border in Ireland after partition in 1922 and interactions between those laws and the people whom they affected. After 1922, superficially durable exceptions developed to the territorial state's distinctions between citizens and foreign nationals under the aegis of the Common Travel Area. They survived the 1930s UK–Ireland ‘Economic War’, were sustained (if in a restricted form) during the Second World War and were rebuilt in its aftermath. These arrangements proved beneficial for both countries, providing an outlet for surplus labour for Ireland and a resource for the UK economy. We nonetheless explore how far practice reflected this overarching cooperative framework, particularly given the complications introduced by the policies of Northern Ireland's institutions.

按程度划分：1921年至1972年英国和爱尔兰之间的边境和移民惯例例行例外

使用档案材料，我们回顾了1922年划分后在爱尔兰创建（和减轻）边界的法律程序以及这些法律与他们所影响的人们之间的互动。1922年之后，在共同旅行区（Common Travel Area）的支持下，表面上持久的例外发展为领土国家在公民和外国国民之间的区别。他们在1930年代英国-爱尔兰的“经济战争”中幸存下来，在第二次世界大战期间得以维持（如果受到限制），并在战后重建。这些安排对两国都很有利，为爱尔兰提供了剩余劳动力的渠道，为英国经济提供了资源。尽管如此，我们仍在探索实践在多大程度上反映了这一总体合作框架，特别是考虑到北爱尔兰政策所带来的复杂性。
