Understanding Contemporary Ireland
Pluto Press, 2006 Cloth: 978-0-7453-2595-8 | Paper: 978-0-7453-2594-1 Library of Congress Classification DA963.U45 2007 Dewey Decimal Classification 941.70824
ABOUT THIS BOOK
ABOUT THIS BOOK
This book provides a detailed, student-friendly overview of Ireland in the twenty-first century and the remarkable economic and social transformations that have occurred since the late 1980s. The "Celtic Tiger" phenomenon has made Ireland the focus of much attention in recent years. Other countries have openly declared that they want to follow the Irish economic and social model. Yet there is no book that gives a comprehensive, spatially-informed analysis of the Irish experience. This book fills that gap. Divided into four parts—planning and development, the economy, the political landscape, and population and social issues—the chapters provide an explanation of a particular aspect of Ireland and Irish life accompanied by illustrative material. In particular, the authors reveal how the transformations that have occurred are uneven and unequal in their effects across the country and highlight the challenges now facing Irish society and policy-makers.
