Book Synopsis Can the Celtic Tiger Cross the Irish Border? by : John Bradley
Download or read book Can the Celtic Tiger Cross the Irish Border? written by John Bradley and published by Cork University Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the Republic's outstanding economists, John Bradley, and the prominent Unionist politician and economist, Esmond Birnie, debate to what extent Northern Ireland can learn from the phenomenon of the "Celtic Tiger." Professor Bradley asks what lessons the North can take from the success of the Republic's economic planning, and whether it makes sense for the island to trade and seek investment as one unit in a globalized economy. Dr Birnie wonders whether the low level of trade and economic interchange between the two Irish economies is really abnormal in European terms, and whether a successfully co-ordinated island economy is possible in two separate political jurisdictions.

This exciting new book systematically scrutinises the interpretations and prescriptions that inform the 'Celtic Tiger'. Takes the standpoint that a more critical approach to the course of development being followed by the Republic is urgently required.

Book Synopsis What Do We Know and What Should We Do About the Irish Border? by : Katy Hayward
Download or read book What Do We Know and What Should We Do About the Irish Border? written by Katy Hayward and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2021-06-02 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Irish border is a manifestation of the relationship between Britain and Ireland. When that relationship has been tense, we have seen the worst effects at the Irish border in the form of violence, controls and barriers. When the relationship has been good, the Irish border has become - to all intents and purposes - open, invisible and criss-crossed with connections. Throughout its short existence, the symbolism of the border has remained just as important as its practical impact. With the UK’s exit from the European Union, the challenge of managing the Irish border as a source and a symbol of British-Irish difference became an international concern. The solution found in the UK-EU Withdrawal Agreement gives the Irish border a globally unique status. A century after partition, and as we enter the post-Brexit era, this book considers what we should know and do about this highly complex and ever-contested boundary line.
Book Synopsis Spacing Ireland by : Caroline Crowley
Download or read book Spacing Ireland written by Caroline Crowley and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-16 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In light of the innumerable interventions that characterise the transformation of Ireland over the last two decades, Spacing Ireland: Place, society and culture in a post-boom era explores questions of ‘space’ and ‘place’ to understand the nature of major social, cultural and economic change in contemporary Ireland. The authors explore the intersections between everyday life and global exchanges through the contexts of the ‘stuff’ of contemporary everyday encounters: food, housing, leisure, migration, music, shopping, travel and work. These are the multiple layers of space we now inhabit. Ireland is a turbulent place. It is fruitful to consider the contemporary geographies of the island through the various forms where change is expressed. The wide range of topics addressed in the collection and the plurality of spaces they represent make the book appealing not only to students and academics, but to anyone who follows social, cultural and economic developments in Ireland.
Book Synopsis Brexit and the Political Economy of Ireland by : Paul Teague
Download or read book Brexit and the Political Economy of Ireland written by Paul Teague and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-03 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The UK’s departure from the EU has profoundly affected the politics and economics of Northern Ireland. Brexit has shattered a political accommodation that was taking shape in the region that involved nationalism and unionism refraining from aggressively pursuing their own objectives or making excessive demands on each other. Economically, it has made the task of building an innovative economy in the region immeasurably more difficult. Without radical change, Northern Ireland is destined to be an economic outhouse of an under-performing UK economy. This book represents the first systematic study of the impact of Brexit on the political and economic future of Northern Ireland and Ireland. It provides a detailed assessment of the consequences of the Belfast Agreement and highlights how Brexit imperils the advances that have been made since its signing in 1998. It makes a dispassionate assessment of the changes that may be necessary to create a stronger Northern Ireland economy. On the one hand, demands for the immediate unification of Ireland that are now being made loudly and persistently by nationalists and republicans are considered too precipitous. The two economies on the island are not yet ready for Irish unity. On the other hand, the book argues the case for a radical reorientation of the Northern Ireland economy through the incremental creation of an all-Ireland economy. The book cuts through the rhetoric that characterizes so much discussion about the Northern Ireland economy and provides a hard-headed appraisal of not only its structure and performance, but also the economic feasibility of Irish unity.
Book Synopsis The Peacebuilding Elements of the Belfast Agreement and the Transformation of the Northern Ireland Conflict by : Cornelia Albert
Download or read book The Peacebuilding Elements of the Belfast Agreement and the Transformation of the Northern Ireland Conflict written by Cornelia Albert and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2009 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to analyse whether the implementation of the peacebuilding elements of the Belfast Agreement contributed to the transformation of the protracted Northern Ireland Conflict. Therefore, this book deals with the following sections of the Agreement: Rights, Safeguards and Equality of Opportunity, Decommissioning, Security, Policing and Justice, and Prisoners. The author comes to the conclusion that the majority of the peacebuilding elements contributed to the transformation of the Northern Ireland Conflict. The results of the study were obtained in conducting interviews, in consulting surveys, and in studying reports and other relevant literature on the recent developments in Northern Ireland.
Book Synopsis Human Nature as Capacity by : Nigel Rapport
Download or read book Human Nature as Capacity written by Nigel Rapport and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2010 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is it to be human? What are our specifically human attributes, our capacities and liabilities? Such questions gave birth to anthropology as an Enlightenment science. This book argues that it is again appropriate to bring "the human" to the fore, to reclaim the singularity of the word as central to the anthropological endeavor, not on the basis of the substance of a human nature - "To be human is to act like this and react like this, to feel this and want this" - but in terms of species-wide capacities: capabilities for action and imagination, liabilities for suffering and cruelty. The contributors approach "the human" with an awareness of these complexities and particularities, rendering this volume unique in its ability to build on anthropology's ethnographic expertise.
Book Synopsis Literary visions of multicultural Ireland by : Pilar Villar-Argaiz
Download or read book Literary visions of multicultural Ireland written by Pilar Villar-Argaiz and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-16 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now available in paperback, this pioneering collection of essays deals with the topic of how Irish literature responds to the presence of non-Irish immigrants in Celtic-Tiger and post-Celtic-Tiger Ireland. The book assembles an international group of 18 leading and prestigious academics in the field of Irish studies from both sides of the Atlantic, including Declan Kiberd, Anne Fogarty and Maureen T. Reddy, amongst others. Key areas of discussion are: what does it mean to be ‘multicultural’ and what are the implications of this condition for contemporary Irish writers? How has literature in Ireland responded to inward migration? Have Irish writers reflected in their work (either explicitly or implicitly) the existence of migrant communities in Ireland? If so, are elements of Irish traditional culture and community maintained or transformed? What is the social and political efficacy of these intercultural artistic visions?
Book Synopsis Dynamics of Political Change in Ireland by : Niall Ó Dochartaigh

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the interrelated dynamics of political action, ideology and state structures in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, emphasising the wider UK and European contexts in which they are nested. It makes a significant and unique contribution to wider European and international debates over state and nation and contested borders, looking at the dialectic between political action and institutions, examining party politics, ideological struggle and institutional change. It goes beyond the binary approaches to Irish politics and looks at the deep shifts associated with major socio-political changes, such as immigration, gender equality and civil society activism. Interdisciplinary in approach, it includes contributions from across history, law, sociology and political science and draws on a rich body of knowledge and original research data. This text will be of key interest to students and scholars of Irish Politics, Society and History, British Politics, Peace and Conflict studies, Nationalism, and more broadly to European Politics.

Book Synopsis Ireland and the Global Question by : Michael J. O'Sullivan
Download or read book Ireland and the Global Question written by Michael J. O'Sullivan and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2006-10-12 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ireland 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.
Book Synopsis Divided Nations and European Integration by : Tristan James Mabry
Download or read book Divided Nations and European Integration written by Tristan James Mabry and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2013-07-16 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For ethnic minorities in Europe separated by state borders—such as Basques in France and Spain or Hungarians who reside in Slovakia and Romania—the European Union has offered the hope of reconnection or at least of rendering the divisions less obstructive. Conationals on different sides of European borders may look forward to increased political engagement, including new norms to support the sharing of sovereignty, enhanced international cooperation, more porous borders, and invigorated protections for minority rights. Under the pan-European umbrella, it has been claimed that those belonging to divided nations would no longer have to depend solely on the goodwill of the governments of their states to have their collective rights respected. Yet for many divided nations, the promise of the European Union and other pan-European institutions remains unfulfilled. Divided Nations and European Integration examines the impact of the expansion of European institutions and the ways the EU acts as a confederal association of member states, rather than a fully multinational federation of peoples. A wide range of detailed case studies consider national communities long within the borders of the European Union, such as the Irish and Basques; communities that have more recently joined, such as the Croats and Hungarians; and communities that are not yet members but are on its borders or in its "near abroad," such as the Albanians, Serbs, and Kurds. This authoritative volume provides cautionary but valuable insights to students of European institutions, nations and nationalism, regional integration, conflict resolution, and minority rights. Contributors: Tozun Bahcheli, Zoe Bray, Alexandra Channer, Zsuzsa Csergő, Marsaili Fraser, James M. Goldgeier, Michael Keating, Tristan James Mabry, John McGarry, Margaret Moore, Sid Noel, Brendan O'Leary, David Romano, Etain Tannam, Stefan Wolff.
