This remarkable book examines how the economic power of Britain and
the US limits the opportunities for small states to develop.
Following the history of the Atlantic economy since the 16th
century, Denis O'Hearn shows how Ireland's repeated attempts to
industrialize were frustrated by British and American power. After
partition, Ireland tried to industrialize but was transformed into
a platform for US companies seeking access to European markets.
Irish attempts to follow the development paths of the wealthier
Atlantic regions were limited by power structures, many of which
were created when it was integrated into the Atlantic economy in
the 16th and 17th centuries. Explaining the problems of economic
growth and industrialization from the perspectives of both the
developed and developing countries, this book addresses the most
important question in developmental politics--how can a developing
country emerge from a historical cycle of underdevelopment?
