Ireland offers a concise synthesis of globalization's dramatic
impact on Ireland. In the past fifteen years, Ireland has
transformed from a sleepy and depressed European backwater to the
emerald tiger, a country with a booming economy based on knowledge
and high tech industries. Not long ago it was one of the poorest
and most traditional countries in Europe, yet now it is one of the
wealthiest and most cosmopolitan. Using a number of case studies of
Ireland's transition, Tom Inglis explains what this means for
traditional Irish culture and society and offers an incisive social
portrait of globalizing Ireland. Books in Globalzing Regions series
look at how nations and regions across the world are navigating the
tumultuous currents of globalization. Concise, descriptive,
interdisciplinary, and theoretically informed, they serve as ideal
introductions to the peoples and places of our increasingly
globalized world.
