The myth of 'the myth of Irish neutrality': deconstructing concepts of Irish neutrality using international relations theories
(2006)

The myth of 'the myth of Irish neutrality': deconstructing concepts of Irish neutrality using international relations theories
(2006)
Devine, Karen
Abstract:
A number of academics, journalists and political elites claim that Irish neutrality is a 'myth', and many also characterise public support for Irish neutrality as 'confused' and 'nonrational'. This 'unneutral' discourse in the academic literature and mainstream Irish media is based on an academic thesis, that of an Unneutral Ireland. The Unneutral thesis constructs a particular concept of neutrality in order to draw its conclusion that Ireland is 'unneutral'. Using a poststructuralist approach--a rarity in the discipline of International Relations (IR)--this paper deconstructs concepts of Irish neutrality using a framework of IR theories. The results show that the concept of neutrality put forward in the Unneutral Ireland thesis and the dominant discourses on Irish neutrality are based on a hegemonic IR theory, the theory of neorealism, rather than on seemingly 'objective' scientific research methods. The paper concludes th...

The International Protean Career: Four Women’s Narratives
(2007)
Crowley-Henry, Marian; Weir, David
Abstract:
<p>In this paper, we share individual narratives outlining the experiences of four well-educated western women following a permanent international career in the South of France. By virtue of detailed interview transcripts and contextual information regarding the specificity of the location in question, a comprehensive picture of the experiences and choices of individual women in leadership business positions on an international level is painted. Our aim is not to generalise the findings to a wider population, but to gain an insight into the depth and complexity of career issues for women in general, and particularly for women working in a foreign country.</p>

International time
(1913)
Stanuell, Charles A.
Abstract:
In dealing with the subject of international time, I should like to state at once that I propose to deal with it in a popular style without any scientific terms, as I think that there have been some misunderstandings of the subject due to the elaborate scientific explanations which have been put forward, and not understood. I propose to first explain what I mean by the expression "International Time." I refer to an arrangement between the nations who belong to the Postal Union, entered into about 1884, under which a general system of time applicable to the whole world was introduced, and recommended to the various nations who had joined the Postal Union, nearly all the civilized globe.

After the 'War on Terror': regulatory states, risk bureaucracies and the risk-based governance of terror
(2010)
Heng, Yee-Kuang ; McDonagh, Kenneth
Abstract:
In March 2009, the Obama administration sent a message to senior Pentagon staff instructing them to refrain from using either of the terms ‘Long War’ or ‘Global War on Terror’ and to replace these terms with ‘Overseas Contingency Operations’. Similarly, the 2009 UK Strategy for Countering International Terrorism eschews military terminology, preferring instead National Risk Assessments whose overall aim is ‘to reduce the risk to the UK’. This paper seeks to explore what it terms an emerging risk-based approach being deployed by states. Such an approach has already played a significant role in the ‘War on Terror’ to date, particularly in relation to Anti-Terrorist Financing and Aviation security guidelines. The change in tone and, potentially, substance from the Obama White House may however create the opportunity for risk-based approaches to move further onto the centre stage in the war on terror, just as it has in the wider Risk Society. This paper argues that the end of the ‘War o...

Explaining International Differences in Rates of Overeducation in Europe
(2010)
DAVIA, MARIA A.; MC GUINNESS, SEAMUS; O'CONNELL, PHILIP J.
Abstract:
This paper examines the factors determining variations in international rates of overeducation. We find significant effects for a range of factors including labour market structural imbalances, risk, trade-union density and the structure of academic funding. The results suggest that international levels of overeducation are particularly sensitive to variations in higher education funding arrangements.

International Knowledge Professionals: Contemporary Career Concerns and Implications
(2008)
Crowley-Henry, Marian
Abstract:
<p>This study supplements existing contemporary research on knowledge workers. It takes an interpretivist approach to represent and analyse a new breed and under-researched sub-category of international assignee termed ‘bounded transnationals’ by the author. In the context of this paper these can be simply described as internationally-located knowledge professionals. This sample has committed to living indefinitely in the host country as foreign residents where they are employed under local country contracts of employment. The paper explores how the sample perceives and makes sense of careers in the context of globalisation and change.</p>

Bullying and symptoms among school-aged children: international comparative cross sectional study in 28 countries
(2005)
Nic Gabhainn, Saoirse
Abstract:
Background: There have been no large-scale international comparisons on bullying and health among adolescents. This study examined the association between bullying and physical and psychological symptoms among adolescents in 28 countries. Methods: This international cross-sectional survey included 123,227 students 11, 13 and 15 years of age from a nationally representative sample of schools in 28 countries in Europe and North America in 1997-98.The main outcome measures were physical and psychological symptoms. Results: The proportion of students being bullied varied enormously across countries. The lowest prevalence was observed among girls in Sweden (6.3%, 95% CI: 5.2-7.4), the highest among boys in Lithuania (41.4%, 95% CI 39.4-43.5). The risk of high symptom load increased with increasing exposure to bullying in all countries. In pooled analyses, with sex stratified multilevel logistic models adjusted for age, family affluence and country the odds ratios for symptoms among stude...

A review of the international literature on health promotion competencies: identifying frameworks and core competencies.
(2009)
Barry, Margaret M.
Abstract:
Building a competent health promotion workforce with the necessary knowledge and skills to develop, implement and evaluate health promotion policies and practice is fundamental to mainstreaming and sustaining health promotion action. This paper reviews the international literature on competencies in health promotion, examines the competencies developed to date, identifies the methods used in their development and considers what can be learned from the experience of others when establishing international core competencies. The paper considers the advantages and disadvantages of employing a competency approach and the extent to which the competencies identified to date can enhance the quality of practice and update the skill set required to work within changing social, cultural and political contexts.

On the robustness of international portfolio diversification benefits to regime-switching volatility

On the robustness of international portfolio diversification benefits to regime-switching volatility
(2007)
Flavin, Dr. Thomas; Panopoulou, Dr. Ekaterini
Abstract:
We examine if the benefits of international portfolio diversification are robust to time-varying asset return volatility. Since diversified portfolios are subject to common cross-country shocks, we focus on the transmission mechanism of such shocks in the presence of regime-switching volatility. Generally, market linkages are stable with little evidence of increased market interdependence in turbulent periods. Furthermore, risk reduction is consistently delivered for the US investor who holds foreign equity.

International Perspectives in the Poetry of Derek Mahon

Tinley, Bill
International Perspectives in the Poetry of Derek Mahon
(1991)
Tinley, Bill
Abstract:
Derek Mahon has always operated outside the comfortable and comforting confines of Irish poetry. In an inyerview with Harriet Cooke, he has said that Irish Writers "should be judged by London, New York standards", in effect distancing himself from the Irish literary scene. On the one hand, Mahon dislikes the cosiness of a literature which does not look beyond its immediate enviroment, which does not search for the major theme among the minor ones: on the other, he is attracted to an art which transcends its localism without compromising the integrity of its sources, work by writers such as Tate, Faulkner and Camus. If we find an unusal degree of cosmopolitanism in Mahon's poetry, therefore, it is not because he wants to desert the unfashionably provincial for the appeal of the international but because his yearning for the major theme masks a commitment to brightening and making sense of the chaos of home.

The Potential Use of Slow-down Technology to Improve Pronounciation of English for International Communication
(2009)
Richardson, Bunny, (Thesis)
Abstract:
<p>The focus of this research is on oral communication between L1 (first language) and L2 (second language) English users - to determine whether an algorithm which slows down speech can increase the intelligibility of speech between interlocutors for EIC (English for International Communication). The slow-down facility is a CALL tool which slows down speech without tonal distortion. It allows English language learners more processing time to hear individual phonemes as produced in the stream of connected speech, to help them hear and produce phonemes more accurately and thus more intelligibly. The study involved five tests, all concerned with the intelligibility of English speech. The first test looked at L2:L2 English communication and levels of receptive intelligibility, while Tests 2 and 3 focused on testing the slow-down for receptive communication – to help L2 users to process speech by slowing it down and thus making the speech signal more accessible. Tests 4 and 5 chang...

The Brussels Free Trade Congress and International Association for Customs Reform
(1857)
Hutton, Henry Dix
Abstract:
It is not necessary to dwell upon the benefits which must also result from the concentration of the efforts of distinct nations in the prosecution of objects involving the common interests of all; or upon the tendency which such co-operation must have to eliminate the jarring elements of traditional prejudice and national animosity, replacing these remains of a barbarous and retrograde system by conceptions which will gradually consolidate European peace, placing it under the protection of a strong, enlightened, and united public opinion. These are the noble objects for which the new " International Association for Customs Reform" is now working, and by virtue of which it claims the sympathy and aid of all who wish well to the cause of commercial liberty, and desire to substitute for a system which has been justly designated a state of industrial feudalism, one which, adopting mutual amity as its principle, and resting upon the invariable laws of social order, must result ...

(1) The Statistical Abstract; (2) the 24th session of the International Institute of Statistics

Lyon, Stanley
Abstract:
Some remarks may perhaps be expected in explanation of the two-fold title of my inaugural address. A consideration of the Statistical Abstract, which is a compendium not only of statistics published by the Department responsible for the statistical service of this country but of other Government Offices as well, should I think encourage such expressions of opinion not only on the Abstract itself but perhaps on Government statistical publications in general. My method has been to select certain of the more important figures which appear regularly in the Abstract, particularly to illustrate the principles and scope of the volume, but incidentally to indicate some of the great changes which have taken place in the economic and the social state of the country between the years 1926 and 1936, which happened to have been Census of Population years. As to the second part of this address, my object is simply to place on record a short account of the proceedings of the Twenty-fourth Sessi...

Work of International Labour Office

Nixon, J.W.
Abstract:
I propose in this paper to give you a short account of the work accomplished by the International Labour Office in the sphere of labour statistics since its foundation in 1920 with special reference to the subject of wages. This latter subject, apart from being the most important of all branches of labour statistics, is the one in which the most progress has been made; I also thought that the subject of wages would be of special interest to this Society in view of the recent publication by your Department of Industry and Commerce of what has been described as "a first attempt to fill a serious lacuna in the national statistics."

Twenty-First-Century International Careers: From Economic to Lifestyle Migration

Twenty-First-Century International Careers: From Economic to Lifestyle Migration
(2010)
Crowley-Henry, Marian
Abstract:
While many chapters in this book examine Ireland-specific research, reports and literature pertaining to contemporary Irish business and society, this chapter takes a different approach. It explores the contemporary career influences and preferences of highly educated knowledge professionals in Europe (Crowley-Henry 2008a), and considers the implications for present and future Irish business and society in the post-Celtic Tiger era. The concept of international careers in modern-day society is studied from a critical and individual, rather than a managerialist or policy, perspective. It investigates what ‘career’ means to people in the twenty-first century and suggests the ramifications of this for human resource practitioners. While large proportions of Ireland’s and other countries’ populations have emigrated for economic, employment, or pure survival reasons (Scally 1995; Schrier 1958; Thomas and Znaniecki 1996), findings from the study shared in this chapter consider a trend tow...

Toward international collaboration on credentialing in health promotion and health education: The Galway Consensus Conference
(2009)
Barry, Margaret M.
Abstract:
The interest in competencies, standards, and quality assurance in the professional preparation of public health professionals whose work involves health promotion and health education dates back several decades. In Australia, Europe, and North America, where the interest in credentialing has gained momentum, there have been rapidly evolving efforts to codify competencies and standards of practice as well as the processes by which quality and accountability can be ensured in academic professional preparation programs. The Galway Consensus Conference was conceived as a first step in an effort to explore the development of an international consensus regarding the core competencies of health education specialists and professionals in health promotion and the commonalities and differences in establishing uniform standards for the accreditation of academic professional preparation programs around the world. This article describes the purposes, objectives, and process of the Galway Consen...

The broad question is has the leisure space in the city adapted toreflect the increasingly multicultural Dublin population? The particular topic ofconcern in this research note is to track the development of Parnell Street Eastarea from its emergence as an Asian enclave, to efforts by immigrant entrepreneursto create a Chinatown, to the more recent Dublin County Council policyof developing it as an international quarter. This is the first part of the largerongoing study and this paper focuses on the Asian cohort of entrepreneurs. Thekey research questions are: (1) How has this leisure space developed? (2) Whathas been the role of local Asian immigrant entrepreneurs in these developments?and (3) What role have policy-makers played in this process? The study’s preliminaryfindings are presented in a chronologi...

Social Polarisation in the Post-Fordist Informational Economy: Ireland in International Context
(2007)
Breathnach, Proinnsias
Abstract:
This paper examines the processes whereby post-Fordist economic restructuring is widely held to have led to growing social polarisation in the advanced capitalist economies. Conceptual fuzziness has clouded the polarisation hypothesis, and a review of international evidence shows no clear trend towards either occupational or earnings inequality. There is stronger evidence of growing household income inequality, due mainly to changes in household composition and national taxation and social welfare policies. In the case of the Republic of Ireland, there has been a more definite tendency towards occupational, earnings and household income polarisation in the 1990s, giving rise to important policy implications at a time of unprecedented national prosperity.

International Oil Companies: Some Considerations for the Development of Ireland's Hydrocarbon Resources
(1982)
Breathnach, Proinnsias
Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to examine some of the implications of the development of Irish hydrocarbon resources by international oil companies. A number of introductory observations, however, are necessary in order to set this examination in context. Hydrocarbons, of which the most economically important are oil and natural gas, are formed by the crushing of organic material under masses of sediment carried onto continental shelves or inland seas by rivers emanating from adjoining landmasses. We can infer, therefore, that hydrocarbons will be found to some degree in any part of the world where accumulations of sediment are present. Many such accumulations now form dry land, it should be noted, due to move ments in the earth's crust. The distribution of oil and gas production is a function principally of the degree of accumulation of oil/gas into pools or reservoirs, the size of these reservoirs, and the cost of extraction. Cost here includes local taxation levels, risk facto...

The interest in competencies, standards, and quality assurance in the professional preparation of public health professionals whose work involves health promotion and health education dates back several decades. In Australia, Europe, and North America, where the interest in credentialing has gained momentum, there have been rapidly evolving efforts to codify competencies and standards of practice as well as the processes by which quality and accountability can be ensured in academic professional preparation programs. The Galway Consensus Conference was conceived as a first step in an effort to explore the development of an international consensus regarding the core competencies of health education specialists and professionals in health promotion and the commonalities and differences in establishing uniform standards for the accreditation of academic professional preparation programs around the world. This article describes the purposes, objectives, and process of the Galway Consens...

Abstract:
This thesis is a study on the practice of mass grave exhumation in the context of international criminal law, and more specifically as employed by international criminal tribunals. The primary institutions of focus are the International Military Tribunal held in Nuremberg, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. The study locates the genesis of the phenomenon of mass grave exhumation for international criminal justice purposes at a historical point in time, contending that the emergence of this experience parallels with the development of international criminal law during and after the Second World War, and with the growing movement against impunity for the most serious of international crimes. It is argued that this process represents a shift in how the remains of the deceased in armed conflict are viewed. The legal framework relevant to the treatment of the dead in war is outlined in Chapter I and the relev...

Transnational commercial law: the way forward

Abstract:
This Article seeks to examine the impelling need for the creation of international rules to govern international commerce, the motivations thereof, and international experience in that regard. No nation is immune from the need to craft solutions of an international nature to govern its interactions with others. This need extends across the spectrum from systems as evolved as the United States to those of some African nations. Distrust can only be overcome in the presence of rules that are formulated by the international community. The following pages examine these issues in the context of two international instruments: the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods ("CISG") and the Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment ("CIIME").

Abstract:
The paper attempts to challenge the somewhat marginal role of international factors in the study of transitions to democracy. Theoretical and practical difficulties in proving causal mechanisms between international variables and domestic outcomes can be overcome by defining the international dimension in terms of Western dominance of world politics and by identifying Western actions towards democratising countries. The paper focuses on the case of Algeria, where international factors are key in explaining the initial process of democratisation and its following demise. In particular, the paper argues that direct Western policies, the pressures of the international system and external shocks influence the internal distribution of power and resources, which underpins the different strategies of all domestic actors. The paper concludes that analysis based purely on domestic factors cannot explain the process of democratisation and that international variables must be taken into more s...
