Irish governance in crisis by Niamh Hardiman

Irish governance in crisis by Niamh Hardiman

Irelands international reputation has suffered periodic fluctuation, from model case of rapid development, to exemplar of political and economic mismanagement. This book argues that both perspectives overlook more important and persistent features of Irish political life. -- .

"Given the Irish experience of recent years, the chapters on regulatory governance (Westrup) and the governance of the economy (Dellepiane and Hardiman) draw the reader's immediate attention"

"... the volume provides the reader with a broad and deep understanding of the current state of policy-making in Ireland, and its historical development."

"... this volume represents an important addition to our existing knowledge of Irish politics and policy-making, and serves to illustrate the valuable contribution of social science research."

"This book offers a timely, insightful and important contribution to this agenda by exploring a number of political issues thematically through a historical institutionalist approach than analyses how state power is exercised in Irish governance."

"...Hardiman presents a persuasive argument..."

"The authors sensibly caution on the effectiveness of reform initiatives if they merely tackle the symptoms of the crisis rather than its causes"

The book includes very useful introduction and conclusion chapters by the editor and nine other chapters from highly respected authors in a diverse variety of disciplines and policy areas. This makes for a robust and meaningful publication and a significant contribution to the debate about the urgent need to reform Irish governance.
