- Summary
- "Ireland is often used as a test case for globalisation, and it has been heralded as one of the great success stories. Michael O'Sullivan presents the globalisation of Ireland in the context of international trends in economics, international relations and politics. His multi-disciplinary approach uncovers many of the weaknesses that lie behind the complacent and cliched view of the Celtic Tiger. The conclusion is that the economic globalisation of Ireland seems to have gone as far as it can go, such that a new approach to policy making is required if economic growth is to be sustained."--BOOK JACKET.
