The pessimism that had engulfed Irish society during the 1980s has given way to a new found confidence, one that befits its status as an emerging, confident and cosmopolitan European state. This book provides a theoretical examination of this startling turnaround in Ireland and details the developments that have taken place in key areas of public policy over the last decade: civil service reform, the welfare state, environmental policy and rural development."--Publisher description UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0627/2005282326-b.html ER -
