商品描述

At the intersection of economic and political history, this book explores the pivotal role of the Irish diaspora in the development of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. It examines the strategies their respective authorities used to harness it. While post-partition efforts were limited, from the 1950s onward both Irelands successfully engaged diaspora business elites to attract investment and stimulate growth. Highlighting the discreet yet decisive influence of powerful Irish-American businessmen, the study analyses their complex interactions with Irish policymakers. Marked by mutual interests, strategic collaboration, and subtle power dynamics, these relationships played a crucial role at key moments in Ireland's economic history.

Drawing on a century of previously unpublished archival sources from Ireland, Northern Ireland, and the United States, including government records, parliamentary papers, and contemporary press, this book provides fresh comparative insights into the economic policies of the two Irelands and the enduring impact of the diaspora on Ireland-US relations. Offering a rigorous and engaging analysis, this book demonstrates how the entrepreneurial networks of the Irish diaspora have been instrumental in shaping modern Ireland. It is essential reading for scholars in economic and business history, Irish history, and diaspora studies.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

在經濟與政治歷史的交匯處,本書探討了愛爾蘭僑民在愛爾蘭共和國和北愛爾蘭發展中的關鍵角色。它檢視了各自當局用來利用這一資源的策略。雖然分治後的努力有限,但自1950年代起,兩個愛爾蘭成功地吸引了僑民商業精英以促進投資和刺激增長。本研究突顯了強大的愛爾蘭裔美國商人的低調卻決定性的影響,分析了他們與愛爾蘭政策制定者之間的複雜互動。這些關係以共同利益、戰略合作和微妙的權力動態為特徵,在愛爾蘭經濟歷史的關鍵時刻發揮了重要作用。

本書利用來自愛爾蘭、北愛爾蘭和美國的百年未公開檔案資料,包括政府記錄、議會文件和當代報刊,提供了對兩個愛爾蘭經濟政策的新比較見解,以及僑民對愛爾蘭與美國關係的持久影響。通過嚴謹且引人入勝的分析,本書展示了愛爾蘭僑民的創業網絡在塑造現代愛爾蘭方面的重要性。這是經濟與商業歷史、愛爾蘭歷史以及僑民研究領域學者必讀的書籍。
