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.\n\nConcise, descriptive, interdisciplinary and theoretically informed, this volume is an ideal introduction to Ireland.\n\nReview\n\n\"Among sociologists working on Ireland in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Tom Inglis stands at the very top of the class. With his latest book he helps us all to much better understand how Ireland has been swept up and transformed in the wave of globalization at the end of the twentieth century and the beginning of this one. Global Ireland is a work to be savored!\"\nJames S. Donnelly, Department of History, University of Wisconsin - Madison\n\nAbout the Author\n\nTom Inglis is Associate Professor of Sociology at University College Dublin. He is author of three books on Ireland: Moral Monopoly, Lessons in Irish Sexuality, and Truth, Power and Lies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415944236\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e 4 black \u0026amp; white illustrations, 4 black \u0026amp;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46667113627975,"sku":"ZQ-TDSO-VAGG","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0293\/7474\/2572\/products\/41GtezysbgL.jpg?v=1682625236","url":"https:\/\/www.pigeonhousebooks.com\/products\/global-ireland-same-difference-same-difference-globalizing-regions-global-realities","provider":"Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
