ArticlePublisher: UK : Policy Press, oct. 2004Policy & Politics 32, 4, p. 503-519Abstract: The Irish Republic has been widely hailed as a 'showpiece of globalisation'. This article argues that although Ireland has experienced considerable change in recent years, there is little evidence to suggest that its economy has indeed been 'globalised'. Yet the discursive construction of globalisation may in itself play an independent causal role in shaping political outcomes. The article thus also explores the role of ideas about globalisation in shaping Irish policy change
