Offered in 0 more formatsIreland has been rated the number one place to live because it successfully combines the most desirable elements of a modern society—the world’s fourth highest GDP per person and low unemployment—with the preservation of certain cozy elements of the old, such as stable family and community life.
Michael J. O‘Sullivan presents the globalization of Ireland in a context of international trends in economics, international relations, and politics. His multi-disciplinary approach uncovers many of the weaknesses that lie behind the complacent and clichéd view of the Celtic Tiger. In examining Ireland’s great leap forward from a developing to a postindustrial economy, O‘Sullivan offers valuable lessons to other countries.
Globalization has been kind to Ireland so far, says O'Sullivan, an Irish economist now working in London; but more demanding times await regarding how economic growth can be sustained and foreign policy refined to fit a new international order. He finds of greatest concern whether the state can mediate the effects of globalization on society and public life. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
