About the Book

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. In the examination of Ireland's great leap forward from developing to post-industrial economy, "Ireland and the Global Question" offers valuable lessons for other countries.

Review :
"Ireland and the Global Question" is a sound intellectual journey that does not aim to find all the answers related to globalisation and its impact, but to ask the right questions with a forward looking approach. The impressive performance of Ireland does not stop the author from being critical of the process and asking difficult questions related to its sustainability in the long term. There is no "one size fits all" approach to the globalisation process and one of the contributions of this thoughtful analysis is precisely to emphasize that countries can learn from each other, but need to get their own policies right. This is the great challenge of our time. Angel Gurria, OECD Secretary General Designate "Studies of things Irish tend to be inward-looking. This book about globalization is also global in its references and its reading. I don't know anything quite like it." Professor Cormac O'Grada University College Dublin
