In the space of around ten years Ireland went from being a
traditional labour exporter to a leading European economy, and thus
an attractive destination for immigrants from Eastern Europe and
further afield. This produced a singular social laboratory, which
this book explores in all its complexity set against the backdrop
of globalization. Until recently seen as a showcase for the success
of globalization, Ireland also became a destination for those
displaced by the effects of globalization elsewhere. Globalization,
Migration and Social Transformation takes Ireland as a paradigmatic
case of social transformation, exploring the reasons why emigration
was so rapidly replaced by immigration, along with the social,
political, cultural and economic effects of this shift. Presenting
the latest research around the themes of identity, social
transformations and EU and Irish politics and policy, this book
offers a rich array of detailed empirical case studies drawn from
Ireland, which shed light on the experiences of immigrant groups
from around the world and the wider processes of social
transformation. In addition, it examines the manner in which the
Irish state and the broader political system relate to new migrants
and vice-versa, thus advancing our comparative understanding of how
the European Union is responding to the challenge of mass
migration. Globalization, Migration and Social Transformation makes
a strong contribution to the comparative literature on immigration
and integration, diaspora and social transformation in the era of
globalization, and as such, it will appeal to social scientists
with interests in migration, race and ethnicity, globalization and
Irish studies.
