Module IRISH PUBLIC POLICY

Module code: PO302
Credits: 5
Semester: 1
Department: SOCIOLOGY
International: Yes
Overview Overview
 

This module explores how Irish public policy has come to centre on interlocking core elements which break with the cultural, political and religious aspirations which fuelled the nationalist struggle for Irish self-government and shaped government policies in the early decades of independence. These are European Union membership, the attraction of inward investment by corporations servicing the European market from an Irish base and the gearing of education to create a labour force that meets the requirements of such investors. The manner in which a coalition of forces favourable to making and maintaining this strategy functions is examined.
