Book Description
In these papers, sociologists, economists, and political scientists analyze various aspects of the industrial society that has developed in Ireland with particular speed since the 1960s. They discuss the typicality or "exceptionalism" of the Irish experience, critically examining its relevance for current theories of "modernization" and industrialism.
Editorial Reviews
Review
The mix of timeliness and historical perspective, high quality data, sophisticated analysis of that data, and unified perspective produces a volume that is nothing short of outstanding. Michael Hout, Economic and Social Review The uniformly high standard of the contributions to this book, and the clarity with which they are argued, will mean that chapters from it will be assigned as reading to advanced undergraduates."
