Looking Back on a Half Century
Sixty-two stories about growing up in Worcester, MA around the turn of the 20th century written by William J. Larkin a first generation Irish Catholic who, for over fifty years, made his career reporting on Worcester news. The stories were first published in a Worcester Evening Post newspaper column called, "Looking Back on a Half Century," in 1935. This version includes an introduction, forward, and biography of William J. Larkin.
The Revelation of Ireland
Ireland is a strikingly different country now to the one it was in the mid-1990s. Dramatic economic, social and cultural changes, including the Celtic Tiger boom and increasingly secular debate about abortion, the status of women and same-sex marriage underlined the scale of the transformation. The new diversity of the population and literary and musical prowess also revealed a country experiencing rapid alteration. The road to peace - that saw an end to war in Northern Ireland and culminated in the first visit to southern Ireland of a reigning British monarch in 100 years - illuminated the new Anglo-Irish dynamic.

New Social Policy Agendas for Europe and Asia
The East Asia crisis of 1997-98 highlighted the need for new models for social policy. A joint project between European and Asian governments brought together over a two year period the experience of social policy experts from Europe and Asia. This project was financed by the ASEM (Asia Europe Meeting). This document looks at a wide range of issues - social security reform, links between macroeconomics and social policy, labour market policies, gender relations and cross-border migration. Inspired by European experience in similar fields and focusing on ideas and knowledge exchange, the project worked to develop papers and seminars, to produce this book.
Neoliberalism and Language Shift

This work, based on policy analysis and ethnographic data, addresses this deficit. It examines how neoliberalism, the dominant economic orthodoxy of recent decades, has impacted the vitality of Irish in the Republic of Ireland since 2008. Drawing on concepts well established in public policy studies, but not prominent in the subfield of language policy, the neoliberalisation of Irish-language support measures is charted, including the disproportionately severe budget cuts they received. It is argued that neoliberalism’s antipathy towards social pla...
The European Economy Since 1945
However, this inheritance of economic and social institutions that was the solution until around 1973--when Europe had to switch from growth based on brute-force investment and the acquisition of known technologies to growth based on increased efficiency and innovation--then became the problem.
social policy and macroeconomics
Many factors underlie the remarkable success of the Irish economy in the 1990s. This paper focuses on the role of the European Union, foreign direct investment, and a remarkable series of social pacts.
