Description:

"Perhaps no other nation in Europe has undergone as much change in one generation as has Ireland. Every aspect of Irish life and public policy has seen rapid transformation. Ireland: Historical Echoes, Contemporary Politics charts and explains various facets of that change: economic development; the education revolution; Irish language policy; church-state relations; the impact of mass media; the shift in the roles and status of women; constitutional and political development; and the making of public policy on controversial issues such as divorce and Ulster. Ireland's place in the European Union is examined as is the impact of the second Irish Renaissance in music, literature, and the arts."--BOOK JACKET.
