'But you can't compare Malawi and Ireland!' - shifting boundaries in a globalised world

'But you can't compare Malawi and Ireland!' - shifting boundaries in a globalised world
(2010)
Gaynor, Niamh
Abstract:
Although global influences - in the form of international finance coupled with discourses of partnership, participation, good governance, and democracy - exercise an increasing influence on national and local governance arrangements worldwide, comparative studies across the traditional South/North divide remain extremely rare. Drawing on findings from a comparative study of Malawi's PRSP and Ireland's national Social Partnership process, this article demonstrates that a shifting of conceptual boundaries beyond traditionally delineated geographic borders is not just valid but essential, in that it helps to reveal new perspectives on the politics underlying globalised development processes and the transformative potential of those processes.

‘blessed are the young, for they shall inherit the national debt’: solidarity between generations in the irish crisis
(2018)
Carney, Gemma M.; Scharf, Thomas; Timonen, Virpi; Conlon, Catherine
Abstract:
Ireland has gained a reputation for peaceable acceptance of austerity following a European Union/International Monetary Fund bailout in 2010. While proponents of austerity praise Ireland's stoicism, critics of global capitalism argue that individuals and families are paying for mistakes made by elites. However, little is known about the strategies people adopt to cope with cutbacks to welfare entitlements. Drawing on a study of solidarity between generations living in Ireland in 2011-12, this article explores the lived experience of economic crisis and austerity. One hundred interviews with people of all ages and socio-economic backgrounds are analysed using constructivist grounded theory. Data show how austerity impacts differentially according to socio-economic status. While solidarity between generations leads to re-distribution of resources within families, providing some security for people with access to family resources, it reinforces inequality at societal level. We con...

“He thinks he is Polish, but the way he acts is Irish”: the negotiation of family language Policy within Polish migrant and transnational families in Ireland
(2020)
Connaughton-Crean, Lorraine
Abstract:
In an era of increased transnationalism, cultural and linguistic diversity has become a prominent feature of Irish society. Between the years of 1995 and 2008, Ireland experienced high rates of inward migration for the first time, which has subsequently led to an emerging second generation of migrants in Ireland (Röder, Ward, Frese, & Sánchez, 2014). While the Polish community is the largest non-Irish group in Ireland, little is known yet about the unique linguistic and cultural challenges faced by Polish migrant and transnational families in Ireland. Family language policy (FLP) research depicts “how languages are managed, learned and negotiated within families” (King, Fogle, & Logan-Terry, 2008, p. 907). FLP studies of migrant and transnational families in Ireland are limited and the current study aims to explore how individual members within Polish families in Ireland jointly construct and negotiate FLP in the home domain. The current study contributes to the field of FLP...

“Like travellers navigating an unknown terrain”: Seyla Benhabib on rights and the borders of belonging
(2006)
Todd, Sharon
Abstract:
Across many disciplines, including education, a certain love–hate relation has developed with globalization, swinging between hopeful exuberance and tragic lamentation, with many perspectives precariously balanced between the two. The particular contours of this relation have, of course, taken shape quite differently according to the specific issues arising out of the various disciplines, and have covered myriad issues such as the deleterious effects of global capital, the threats facing the natural environment, the opportunities afforded by information technology, the breaking up of the nation-state, and the hybridization of culture and identity, to name but a few. Not merely an academic matter, however, this focus on globalization has flourished in the context of current social movements and political policies that attempt to grapple with the broad range of conditions that mark civil life within and across borders.

A political economy of radical media
(2020)
Farrell, Seamus
Abstract:
This thesis offers a Marxist humanist political economic analysis of radical media. Radical media has been under-researched and underappreciated as a subject. Modern theorists have positioned it either as a fringe subject or as a diffuse topic without definitional clarity used interchangeably with concepts such as alternative and independent to describe non-mainstream media, communications and digital society. This thesis aims to clarify the conceptualisation of radical media and consider the concrete publications and platforms, shaped by radical media actors, that have developed in the digital age. This analysis is grounded by an understanding of the historic development of theories of and practices of radical media. A multi-methods research design is used as a basis for three analyses of three radical media samples: a typology analysis of concepts of radical media in the digital age (1995–2019), a content analysis of radical media publications and platforms in the UK, USA and Irel...

A Spectre is Haunting the World - the Spectre of Global Capitalism
(2000)
KINGSTON, WILLIAM
Abstract:
peer-reviewed
Individual property rights are fruitful for economic development because they civilize self-interest by forcing it to serve the public good. Globalization represents individual property rights that are out of control, since there is no global mechanism for civilizing self interest. Schumpeter's sense of the impending demise of capitalism, if not of its replacement by socialism, may yet be vindicated.

American literatures of dislocation in the age of Cold War transnationalism

American literatures of dislocation in the age of Cold War transnationalism
(2018)
Miller, Benjamin A.
Abstract:
The thesis of this study is that American imperial power during the Cold War era irrevocably altered traditional modes of dislocation by reshaping the twentieth-century global terrain through the expansion of socio-political, economic, and cultural networks, thus changing how international travel and national identity are understood over time. The redefining of international experience has prompted categorical shifts of the conceptual and vernacular parameters of dislocation dependent upon the arrangements of international networks in accordance with Cold War coordinates. The ambivalence of subjectivity and autonomy characteristic of the dislocated perspectives of expatriatism, exile, and diaspora, and their production of narratives that explore the masking and unmasking of liberation and oppression embedded in nationalist discourse throughout socio-political, economic, and cultural domains, are symptomatic of these shifts. My examination focuses on selected literatures of dislocati...

An investigation into the Experiences of international Muslim students in an Irish university
(2017)
Gamze Üstündağ, Buse
Abstract:
Ireland has transformed from being a country of emigration to a country of immigration within the past two decades. The transformation is evident in Irish higher education which currently recruits over one hundred thousand international students from across the globe. Although Muslim immigration into Ireland began with international students who came to study in Royal College of Surgeons Ireland in 1950s, research on Muslim students, particularly international, in Irish higher education has largely been neglected to date. Consequently, this project explores the experiences of international Muslim students (IMS) in an Irish university, asks whether a religious identity is a pertinent factor in intercultural contact, and investigates internationalisation of higher education in Ireland from the perspective of IMS. The study used a constructive grounded theory approach within an interpretative framework. 23 semi-structured, qualitative interviews were conducted with IMS from undergradu...

Arrive bearing gifts: Postcolonial Insights for development management
(2012)
Kenny, Kate
Abstract:
Book chapter
Organizations working in the development sector play an important role in contemporary processes of globalization. The term globalization has many interpretations, but it tends to refer to a certain set of observed societal changes. These include the disrupting of national boundaries, and the expansion of channels of communication between First and Third World nations (Castells, 2001). Development organizations are seen to be at the forefront of these interactions between the First and the Third Worlds, at this point in our history (Ebrahim, 2003; Prasad, 2003).

Between citizenship and clientship: the politics of participatory governance in Malawi.
(2010)
Gaynor, Niamh
Abstract:
In the twenty years since the post-Cold War wave of democratisation spread across Africa, experiments in participatory governance have revealed fundamental contradictions between their normative bases and their practical application on the ground. Responding to calls for a greater focus on ‘the politics of everyday life’ including the actions of local actors in the context of less-westernised aspects of indigenous political culture, and drawing on the experiences and actions, over a six year period, of the principal civic network involved initially in Malawi’s PRS process, this paper illustrates how contemporary Malawian politics at local level comprises a complex mix of the old and the new. Charting the evolving agency and activities of network members at district level, the paper demonstrates how, in the ongoing struggles for resources for everyday life, normative discourses of participation and representation are combined with more traditional cultures and practices in shaping...

Big Pharma's internationalization of R&D to China
(2017)
Grimes, Seamus; Miozzo, Marcela
Abstract:
China's increasing integration into the global pharmaceutical value chain is occurring at a time when big pharma's traditional R&D model has entered a period of crisis, and when China faces significant challenges in providing healthcare for its huge and rapidly ageing population. Despite China's ambitions of promoting its own pharmaceutical sector, it is likely to continue to depend for some time on significant contributions from foreign companies. While this situation provides considerable opportunities for big pharma companies to expand their markets in China, they are also hoping that offshoring aspects of their R&D to China may contribute to reconfiguring their current R&D model with its weak record of producing new drugs. Drawing on interviews with a small number of pharma R&D centres in Shanghai, patent analyses and industry reports, we provide insights into both the challenges and the opportunities associated with the early stages of establishin...

Borders and violence in Burundi: regional responses, global responsibilities
(2021)
Gaynor, Niamh
Abstract:
Situated within the volatile Great Lakes region of Africa, Burundi has suffered decades of violence, displacement and re-displacement. As violence and insecurity continues, most notably following a third term bid in 2015 by the country’s President, an estimated 400,000- 500,000 have been re-displaced, mostly across regional borders into neighbouring Tanzania, Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda. This chapter exploresthe complex root causes of this ongoing violence, together with regional and global responses to this. Highlighting the role played by international actors and institutions in setting the ground for and sustaining the violence, it argues for a globalised politics of responsibility in responding to the ensuing crisis.

Brexit and the changing international and domestic perspectives of sovereignty over Northern Ireland

Brexit and the changing international and domestic perspectives of sovereignty over Northern Ireland
(2019)
Connolly, Eileen; Doyle, John
Abstract:
This article argues that the recognition of sovereignty over Northern Ireland, internationally, and within Ireland, has shifted in the aftermath of the 2016 Brexit referendum. The framework that governs this relationship between Ireland, the UK and Northern Ireland was redefined with the signing of the Good Friday Agreement (GFA) in 1998. In the altered political circumstances of the Brexit negotiations, this redefinition has produced unanticipated consequences. First, it underpinned the high level of support given to the Irish government and to the provisions of the GFA by the EU as an institution, and by EU member states, manifested in the refusal of the EU to negotiate a land border on the island of Ireland. For the UK this was an unforeseen outcome as its negotiation strategy was based on the EU prioritising the importance of accessing the UK economy over Irish claims under the GFA. Second, the undermining of the political stability and relative consensus created by the GFA has ...

Bringing EU citizens together or pulling them apart? The European Health Insurance Card, east–west mobility, and the failed promise of European social integration
(2020)
Stan, Sabina; Roland, Erne; Susan, Gannon
Abstract:
Although the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) was meant to bring Europeans together, this study shows that it is amplifying social inequalities across regions and classes. First, we evaluate the effects of east–west EHIC mobility, and of Eastern Europeans’ participation in it, on the practice of EU social citizenship rights to access cross-border care along spatial (east–west) and social class divides. We then assess the impact of these mobilities on healthcare resources in Western and Eastern Europe. Our findings show that the EHIC reinforces rather than reduces the spatially and socially uneven access to social citizenship rights to cross-border care. Moreover, EHIC patient outflows from Eastern to Western Europe result in a much higher relative financial burden for the budgets of Eastern European states than outflows from Western to Eastern Europe do for Western European countries. As a result, east–west EHIC mobility is reproducing rather than reversing healthcare inequalit...

Building cities on sand: the normative basis for journalism in Cambodia
(2015)
Quinn, Fergal
Abstract:
This thesis examines the relationship between normative emphases in journalism training programmes and the subsequent work practices and conceptualisations of journalists who participated in them, and how this happens where programmes are part of international aid strategies in emerging democracies. It hypothesises that particular normative emphases whose bases are contested — whether due to perceived politicisation, culturally hegemonic tendencies or other reasons —adversely affects the fulfilment of particular journalistic ideals. This study uses a qualitative research methodology to examine the example of Cambodia from 1993 to 2011. 54 interviews were carried out with key respondents, followed by a thematic analysis of the data generated. A number of tendencies have emerged from this which broadly support the hypothesis. These include correlations between normative emphases at programme level and politically polarised normative orientations among working journalists. A vocationa...

Capitals and commitment. The case of a local learning and employment network.
(2009)
Kamp, Annelies
Abstract:
This article draws on research undertaken with a Local Learning and Employment Network (LLEN) in the state of Victoria, Australia. LLEN are networks that were implemented by the state government in 2001 to undertake community capacity building through which the outcomes of young people aged 15-19 in education, training and employment would be enhanced. In 2008, in the context of an enhanced federal commitment to social inclusion through ‘joining-up’, the Victorian experience provides insights on the implications of such policy initiatives. Drawing on Bourdieu’s discussion of the forms of capital and Granovetter’s notion of the strength of weak ties, I argue that stores of economic, cultural and social capital as outlined by Bourdieu were necessary, but insufficient, for LLEN to achieve the objectives with which they were charged given the failure of government to follow through on the implications of its policies. I argue for a commitment on the part of all stakeholders to realise t...

Circuits of journalism: mediating Irishness in the digital disapora press.
(2019)
Kirk, Niamh
Abstract:
This thesis addresses the process representing Ireland and Irishness in the digital diaspora press. It examines the production of diaspora journalism in the hybrid media environment through the lens of the circuit of cultural production, establishing journalistic and cultural influences on the process of representing Irishness. Diaspora journalism has important implications for recreating ethnic identity among the deterritorialised Irish audience, but little is understood about what aspects of Irish culture diaspora news media represent or to what extent these representations can be regarded as homogeneous across different hostlands. This research establishes that there are regional differences in both what stories about Ireland are reproduced in the diaspora press and how Irishness is represented. It identifies a range of material, organisational and cultural factors from journalism that shape what diaspora newsrooms can produce as well as how news is presented and distributed. A...

Collaborative governance for the sustainable development goals
(2018)
Florini, Ann; Pauli, Markus
Abstract:
The advent of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals has refocused global attention on the roles of business and other nonstate actors in achieving global goals. Often, business involvement takes the form of collaborations with the more traditional actors—governments and non‐governmental organizations. Although such partnerships for development have been seen before, the scale and expectations are new. This paper explores how and why these cross‐sector collaborations are evolving, and what steps can or should be taken to ensure that partnerships create public and private value. The arguments are illustrated with reference to cases of market‐driven partnerships for agriculture in Southeast Asia that are intended to engage marginalized smallholder farmers in global value chains in agriculture. The aims of these cross‐sector collaborations coincide with several targets of the Sustainable Development Goals such as poverty alleviation, decreasing environmental impact, and achieving ...

Abstract:
This thesis includes the film Dúshlán Lurgan/The Lurgan Challenge and a written exegesis which reflects on the film's 'generative performance'. The film asks if making Irish-language versions of music videos in English at Coláiste Lurgan, Connemara, Ireland can be understood as an example of the cultural hybridity described by Nederveen Pieterse (2004a) as evidence of cultural vigour, or if the phenomenon is better understood as an act of assimilation, by reworking cultural products in a hegemonic language (English) into a lesser-spoken language (Irish) that is threatened with erasure for a variety of reasons, not least of which is the increasing dominance of the hegemonic language in a globalized era. It also presents prima facie evidence of the impact of creativity and creative processes (including singing, music-making, dance and video production) on language learning among adolescent learners. The principal method of inquiry is through the production of an essay f...
