This study examines a regional economic enterprise (the production of linen and cotton textiles from flax and cotton fiber respectively), the influence of globalization upon this enterprise (the development of a core industry [cotton and linen mills] in a peripheral region [Ireland]), and the resultant economic, political, social, and societal changes [including the economically driven emigration of Ulster Scots from the north of Ireland and the “Troubles” that are occurring to the present in Northern Ireland] that resulted from changes in this enterprise during a significant alteration of the world’s economic structure (the Industrial Revolution).

Hunter, Ph.D. “South Texas Renaissance Man: The Humanitarian, Political, and Philanthropic Activities of Judge J. T. Canales,” Master’s Degree Thesis, August 1996.
