Homelessness in Dublin: An Irish Urban Disorder
Urban homelessness in Dublin has emerged as one of Ireland's most serious socioeconomic problems. Etiological explanations for the estimated 1,200 homeless individuals in the capital range from personal problems to the structure of Irish society. Empirical examination reveals that many Irish are drawn into the homeless network through personal crises such as poor health, alcoholism, economic deprivation, and psychiatric disturbances. However, it …
Preservation and Transformation of Georgian Dublin
city whose history is etched in its architecture, its system of terraces and squares, and the facades and elegant interiors of its buildings. These also are reminders of past and contemporary conflicts. In the words of Martin Wallace, city of Dublin has something of a split personality which is well revealed when some Georgian square is threatened with demolition and the Dubliner's instinct to defend a thing of beauty is tempered by a feeling tha…

Urban Squatter Strategies: Social Adaptation to Housing Stress in London
Intraurban Squatting in London∗
Intraurban squatting in Western, industrialized society differs significantly from Third World squatting. As a human adaptive mechanism for coping with intensified housing stress this variant type involves the occupation, renovation, and reutilization of existing inner urban buildings. It serves a practical function in urban ecology and conservation and it is increasingly accepted by housing authorities on its economic merits. Squatting in Britai…

Development of the Irish Peat Fuel Industry
Over the past three decades peat (or turf) production in Ireland has been transformed from a rudimentary hand-won operation to a highly mechanized and commercially profitable national industry. Through a pragmatic admixture of government policy-making and technological advancement 130,000 acres of bogland have been converted into a major fuel production complex. Peat has captured a large share of the domestic solid fuel market, both rural and urb…
Irish Tinkers: An Itinerant Population in Transition∗
Irish Tinkers are an itinerant or “gypsy'’population. They form a distinctive subculture within Irish society. Over the past three decades their traditional economic and social niche in rural Ireland has been eroded by modernization and industrialization. In response, they have migrated cityward. Economic adaptation to the urban milieu has demanded development of new trades and intensification of former supplemental pursuits. It also has initiate…
Ireland's Mining Boom: Development and Impact
Over the past 15 years, Ireland has experienced a meteoric rise to prominence in mining. A decade ago output of metallic minerals was virtually non-existent. Today, metal concentrates from Irish mines are valued at $55 million annually, or 4 percent of total national exports. Metals have assumed fourth place among individual export categories. There is no single explanation for the mining boom. Rather, it must be attributed to several interrelate…

The Andean Common Market: A New Thrust at Economic Integration in Latin America
The decade of the 1960s could well be termed the First Economic Integration Decade in Latin America. During this period the republics of Latin America experienced a "collective awakening," inspiring an environment in which superficial and exclusivist values gave way to pragmatic and cooperative attitudes. Economic alliances were formed among neighbors, predicated on the rationale that, by joining forces in the spirit of cooperation and applying a…
