Opis

Ireland is one of the nations of the Western World in which industrialization was longest delayed. 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.
