Global Ireland offers a concise synthesis of globalization's dramatic impact on Ireland. 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.Concise, descriptive, interdisciplinary and theoretically informed, this volume is an ideal introduction to Ireland.

"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!" James S. Donnelly, Department of History, University of Wisconsin - Madison
