First published in 1999, this timely study emerged at a critical
juncture for the EU and Ireland, and aimed to review the past
development and future prospects of the Northern Ireland economy in
the light of the European Union and its possible expansion. Esmond
Birnie and David M.W.N. Hitchens examine the economic circumstances
in the wake of Northern Ireland's longstanding position as a region
which lags behind UK performance in the EU. Here, they update the
data and discussion contained in an earlier study by the authors,
Closing the Productivity Gap (1990), through discussions including
engines of growth, the process of convergence and the current and
likely development of Northern Ireland-Republic of Ireland economic
links. This book will be of use to both academics, undergraduates,
A-level students and the general reader.
