Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frances Ruane, Director, Economic and Social Research Institute Irish and international scholars continue to be curious about Ireland’s exceptional economic success since the early 1990s. While growth rates peaked at the turn of the millennium, they have since continued at levels that are high by any current international or historical Irish measures. Despite differences of view among Irish economists and policymakers on the relative importance of the factors that have driven growth, there is widespread agreement that the process of globalisation has contributed to Ireland’s economic development. In this context, it is helpful to recognise that globalisation has created huge changes in most developed and developing countries and has been associated, inter alia, with reductions in global income disparity but increased income disparity within individual countries. This book reflects on how, from a social perspective, Ireland has prospered over the past decade. In that period we have effectively moved from being a semi-developed to being a developed economy. While the book’s main focus is on the social changes induced by economic growth, there is also recognition that social change has facilitated economic growth. Although many would regard the past decade as a period when economic and social elements have combined in a virtuous cycle, there is a lingering question as to the extent to which we have better lives now that we are economically ‘better off’.

This book was released on 2005-09-13 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,3 (A), Technical University of Chemnitz, course: The Making and Remaking of Ireland, language: English, abstract: Ireland's economic history does not really have many success stories to tell. It is mainly dominated by stagnation and decline and a high dependence on Great Britain. During the 18th and 19th century Ireland's economic performance was rather weak. According to Bradley (1999:42) the industrial revolution, which was a general boom for most parts of Great Britain, was only concentrated in a few Irish sectors, such as brewing, linen and shipbuilding, and mainly only in Belfast and Dublin. In the middle of the 20thcentury, during the so-called protectionist period, Ireland's economic situation did not improve. Import quotas and high tax barriers were responsible for a poor regional competitive position of the country. The Republic of Ireland was an unattractive, rural and backward investment location with serious problems such as high unemployment and low standards of living. Then, almost overnight, Ireland's economic performance changed rapidly. The formerly isolated country started to become equal among the other nations in Europe and the world. Due to foreign investment, a significant and fast economic growth in key sectors such as information technology helped to transform the former weak Irish economy in one of Europe's most successful economies. Thus, the Republic of Ireland not only became more advanced than the United Kingdom, it also replaced its former traditional and depressing image by a modern and cosmopolitan one. This economic miracle in Ireland during the 1990s is called theCeltic Tiger,a name which points at the economic strength of the Asian countries Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan and South Korea. However, it appears evident that such a rapid and successful development of a formerly weak economy not only bears advantages. Recent discussions in the literature have shown that concerning Ireland's economic boom appearances are deceptive. John Gormley uttered the above-mentioned quotation2in the 200thissue of the Resurgence Magazine Online. In all probability, Ireland's success story could not have been looked at from a more critical point of view. Gormley hints at the short-livedness of theCeltic Tigerera and moreover stresses thatall that glitters is not gold.

Download or read book The Economy of Northern Ireland written by Paul Teague and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this collection focus on the need for a radical rethink of economic policy in Northern Ireland. The central theme of the collection is that Northern Ireland needs a regional policy based on the creation of an agglomeration economy. This, in turn, requires the back-up of a regional institutional framework. To create such a framework Northern Ireland needs new structures of governance, based on further disconnection from the mainland. Contributors: J.E. Birnie, Vani Borooah, Robert Clulow, Celia Davies, Douglas Hamilton, Mark Hart, Norma Heaton, D.M.W.N. Hitchins, Rory O'Donell, Gillian Robinson, Michael Smyth, Paul Teague, K. Wagner.

Download or read book Irish Economic Development written by Eoin O'Leary and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a fresh perspective on the spectacular rise and fall of the so-called ‘Celtic Tiger’ economy. By adopting the perspective of economic development as business development, the book articulates an original narrative of Ireland as a micro-state with a unique reliance on foreign direct investment driven by low corporation tax rates. Its highly centralized government’s pre-disposition to lobbying, which has yielded some notable successes and failures internationally, has coincided with undue influence from trades unions and sectoral interest groups that have periodically undermined growth and development. By uncovering the drivers of business competitiveness at the industry, regional and institutional levels, the book reveals a uniquely discerning account of the turbulent economic development path of Ireland since 1970. This highly innovative study from Eoin O’Leary provides a comprehensive, incisive and original account, which has relevance not only for Ireland and the EU, but more generally for the international economy in the midst of the financial crisis.
