Regional economic resilience in Ireland: The Roles of Industrial Structure and Foreign Inward Investment
This paper examines the resilience of Irish regions during the course of the post- \n2007 economic crisis, focusing specifically on employment change in firms in receipt \nof assistance from the Irish government’s enterprise development agencies. The paper \nclassifies both regions and sectors in terms of their employment performance both \nbefore and during the recession and employs a number of techniques to assess the \nroles of sectoral compos…
Creating City-region Governance Structures in a Dysfunctional Polity: The Case of Ireland’s National Spatial Strategy
Devolution of powers and functions from national to regional level has been a common experience internationally in recent times. A range of possible driving forces underpinning this trend are reviewed. The city-region has become a favoured spatial unit for organising direct regional participation in global markets. New governance structures are being forged for mobilising joint cross-communuty action in pursuit of broad regional objectives. A ran…

From Spatial Keynesianism to Post‐Fordist Neoliberalism: Emerging Contradictions in the Spatiality of the Irish State
The transition from Fordism to post‐Fordism has been accompanied by profound changes in the spatiality of west European states. The hierarchical, top‐down and redistributive structures that typified the Fordist welfare state have been replaced by more complex spatial configurations as elements of economic and political power have shifted both downwards to subnational territorial levels and upwards to the supranational level. A major debate has de…
Occupational Change and Social Polarisation in Ireland: Further Evidence
This paper extends to the year 2002 that section of an earlier paper (Breathnach 2002b) which considered whether the pattern of occupational change occurring in Ireland during the period 1991–1996 indicated the operation of processes of social polarisation. The occupational categories contained in the Census of Population were recast in order to create a set of broad groups which facilitated analysis from a social polarisation perspective. This a…
Social Polarisation in the Post-Fordist Informational Economy: Ireland in International Context
This paper examines the processes whereby post-Fordist economic restructuring is widely held to have led to growing social polarisation in the advanced capitalist economies. Conceptual fuzziness has clouded the polarisation hypothesis, and a review of international evidence shows no clear trend towards either occupational or earnings inequality. There is stronger evidence of growing household income inequality, due mainly to changes in household …
Globalisation, information technology and the emergence of niche transnational cities: The growth of the call centre sector in Dublin
Exploring the 'Celtic Tiger' Phenomenon: Causes and Consequences of Ireland'S Economic Miracle
The economy of the Republic of Ireland has experienced continuously high growth rates in the 1990s, after a period of severe difficulty in the previous decade. As a result, Ireland is now within sight of exceeding average EU living standards, a situation which would reverse Ireland's traditional status as a peripheral European economy. The main purpose of this article is to examine the factors which have contributed to this apparent economic mira…
Women's employment and peripheralisation: The case of Ireland's branch plant economy
Uneven Development and Capitalist Peripheralisation: The Case of Ireland
Spatial unevenness has been a consistent feature of capitalist \ndevelopment since its original rise to prominence in early modern \nBritain. This is not to say that uneven development is an exclusively \ncapitalist phenomenon (nor, for that matter, that .it is a \nnecessary feature of capitalism - a question that will be discussed \nin the conclusion to this paper). Clearly, differences in levels of \ntechnology and geographical variation in nat…
