Abstract:
This important book has the supreme merit that it makes one think. One's conclusions may differ from the author's everion his own very voluminous data and may differ more on attaching weight to factors of which he is deemed to take insufficient account.

Book review and commentary: good strategy/bad strategy: the difference and why it matters

Book review and commentary: good strategy/bad strategy: the difference and why it matters
(2012)
Harney, Brian
Abstract:
Strategy is in trouble: noted shortcomings include a failure to anticipate the fi nancial crisis, exposed defi ciencies in its economic heritage, and once lauded companies succumbing to complacency and inertia (e.g. Nokia and Kodak). In addition, the language of strategy (mission, vision, objectives, etc.) has become increasingly empty, promoting convergence and similarity as opposed to divergence and uniqueness. According to Rumelt, the real problem is not that companies are getting strategy wrong but that they ‘aren’t getting it all’ (Hill, 2011). With a 40-year track record and McKinsey’s designation as ‘strategy’s strategist’, Rumelt commands attention when discussing issues of strategy. His contributions are not known for their regularity (there is a 37-year interval since his last strategy text) but, critically, they are known for their impact. Conceptually, Rumelt’s (1979) work unpacking the dynamics of strategy evaluation is still a classic. Empirically, Rumelt (1982) was on...

Book review: A sociology of Ireland / by Hilary Tovey and Perry Share. Dublin: Gill and Macmillan, 2000.
(2001)
McCullagh, Ciaran; Tovey, Hilary; Share, Perry
Abstract:
According to its authors, this book has two aims. The first is to offer an interpretation of the development of Irish society. The second is to provide an introduction to the discipline of sociology. Underpinning both of these is a particular vision of the nature of sociology. This regards all sociologies as in part at least national ones. The concern of sociology is to understand the particular society that the sociologist is a part of rather than interpreting it as a distorted version of some kind of amorphous modern society that is only inhabited by social theorists. As such this perspective involves taking Irish society seriously as a society in its own terms and not as an inferior or defective version of supposedly modern societies such as the United States, Germany or Great Britain. This is a useful and important starting argument all the more significant for the fact that it had to be made. It is an odd reflection on the institutional status of Irish sociology and of the stat...

Abstract:
?Sticky places in slippery space? is one of the best-known phrases from the literature on economic geography. The ?slippery space? is the globalised world of highly mobile capital, labour and technology. The ?sticky places? are the successful regions in which these factors agglomerate. This book is, inter alia, an analysis of how Ireland became sticky over the course of the 1990s.

Book review: An introduction to Irish planning law / by Berna Grist. Dublin: Institute of Public Administration, 1999.
(2001)
Convery, Frank J.; Grist, Berna
Abstract:
This slim volume (93 pages) is a very lucidly written overview of the planning system in Ireland, directed at the non-specialist. It is of particular value for those who wish to understand the evolution of the planning system as we experience it today, and those who wish to know how to operate it today. It is interesting to observe how the policy system has evolved over time in response to various inadequacies. From an economics point of view, this can be interpreted as follows: the planning system allows various rent seekers to maximise their position at the expense of the public interest. This rent capture gradually becomes obvious to the public and those responsible for the design and operation of the system, and these opportunities are curtailed; the rent seekers search out new opportunities.

Book review: Cottage to creche: family change in Ireland / by Finola Kennedy. Dublin: Institute of Public Administration, 2001.
(2002)
Ferriter, Diarmuid; Kennedy, Finola
Abstract:
Officially, huge importance was attached to the family in twentieth century Ireland, the most obvious manifestation of this is in the Constitution of 1937 where it is afforded the status of a moral institution with inalienable and imprescriptible rights. In practice however, there was a huge gulf between the ideals and the reality. In this marvellous book, Finola Kennedy has shown that ultimately, the ideal constitutional notion of the family, particularly towards the end of the century, could not remain above and beyond economic realities. This book is one of the most significant to have been published on modern Irish history because despite its place at the centre of Irish life and official rhetoric, there has been little sustained examination of the family as an institution. This is all the more surprising, given the author?s contention that change in the various dimensions of Irish family life amounted to a social revolution within an economic revolution, as Ireland, for so long...

Book Review: Education for All? The Legacy of Free Post-Primary Education in Ireland, edited by Professor Judith Harford

Hall, Tony
Abstract:
In July 1963, An Taoiseach, Seán Lemass appeared on the cover of Time Magazine with the title, Ireland: New Spirit in the Auld Sod . It was international recognition of the dynamism with which the Lemass Government was pursuing an agenda of change and modernisation in Ireland at that time. Among Lemass accomplishments, one was the appointment of Donogh O Malley as Minister of Education, in a political portfolio that now had real importance and status in the emerging modern Ireland. Lemass and progressive contemporaries, like T.K. Whitaker, understood the importance of education and educational opportunity - beyond primary level - in developing Ireland as a modern state, with a well-educated and skilled citizenry. On September 10th, 1966, the Minister would make the historic declaration of free second level education, (including free school transport), a decision that resounds to this day; as Prof. Dermot Keogh has said, Free education was liberation for an entire generation of...

Book review: Human Incumbrances: Political Violence and the Great Irish Famine
(2017)
Morrissey, John
Abstract:
In 1860, the Irish nationalist writer John Mitchell avowed that ‘The Almighty, indeed, sent the potato blight, but the English created the famine’ (from The Last Conquest of Ireland (Perhaps)). The aphorism quickly became an important discursive register in the Irish struggle for independence from Britain through the course of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Seeking to amend Mitchell’s memorable maxim 50 years later, however, the Irish socialist republican and revolutionary leader James Connolly wrote that ‘England made the famine by a rigid application of the economic principles that lie at the base of capitalist society’ (from Labour in Irish History). For Connolly, the colonial administration in Ireland ‘stood for the rights of property and free competition, and philosophically accepted their consequences upon Ireland’. In Human Incumbrances: Political Violence and the Great Irish Famine, David Nally goes beyond Connolly’s analysis, and presents a brilliant and sophistica...

Abstract:
Don’t you hear the H-Bomb’s thunder? is a lively, clearly-written account of one of the regional experiences that made up the first British New Left: direct action campaigns against nuclear weapons, the first stirrings of counter-cultural revolt, and the rise of left politics outside the framework defined by the Labour and Communist parties. A participant himself, socialist historian John Charlton carried out extensive interviews with others from the period and woven their narratives into a coherent and always interesting study of wie es eigentlich gewesen.

Abstract:
In the last year of peace before the First World War, Ireland had (though this book does not make any such comparison) reached a level of per capita income roughly comparable with that of Swaziland today, while the remainder of the UK was roughly where South Africa is now. Ireland?s per capita income was about 55 per cent of that in the UK. Swaziland is poor ? reckoned a lower-middle income country; Ireland was poor, each looking to the large neighbour as the reference point, and wondering how the large average income gap could be bridged. The turbulence of two wars and a global depression affected Ireland and Britain differently, but by the early 1950s Ireland had slipped to just half British income, and the slide was not halted until 1959. More than three decades of independence had confounded the expectations of nationalists that prosperity would follow automatically once the country was being run by patriots. What had gone wrong?

Book review: Selling out? ? privatisation in Ireland / by Paul Sweeney. Dublin: TASC/New Island, 2004.
(2005)
Reeves, Eoin
Abstract:
Over the last fourteen years the Irish government has withdrawn entirely from direct public provision in sectors such as banking, food, insurance and telecommunications. The wave of privatisation and rationalisation that has been at the heart of this pattern of withdrawal is set to continue with a host of key decisions to be made about the future ownership and structure of sectors such as airports, aviation, buses, electricity and gas. Given the strategic importance of these sectors in an economy where improving international competitiveness is the cornerstone of much economic policy it is surprising that questions concerning privatisation and public enterprise have received little attention in terms of published critique and analysis. Paul Sweeney?s Selling Out ? Privatisation in Ireland? is therefore a welcome and timely contribution to the debate about this important aspect of public policy.

Cox, Laurence
Abstract:
Beyond the fragments is one of those books that many activists cite as playing a role in their own biographies. I came across it in the mid-1990s, as a young organiser developing conversations and networks between different social movements in Ireland, in the overlap between European Green parties’ vanishing self-understanding as movement alliances and the first inklings of the Zapatista-inspired networking processes that would shortly lead to the “movement of movements”. We take our ideas and inspiration where we can find them, but read them critically, for what they can offer our own struggles and our own problems.
