  • Journal of World-Systems Research
    JOURNAL OF WORLD-SYSTEMS RESEARCH ISSN: 1076-156X | Vol. 22 Issue 1 Page 177-201 | http://dx.doi.org/10.5195/jwsr.2016.634| jwsr.org Ireland, Europe and the Global Crisis Maurice Coakley Griffith College, Dublin [email protected] Abstract This is a correction to the original article. For information about the changes made, please see the erratum http://dx.doi.org/10.5195/jwsr.2017.702. For Ireland—along with Spain, Portugal and Greece—membership of ‘Europe’ was seen as an opportunity to escape their historical legacy of ‘underdevelopment’ and become fully integrated into core positions in the global system. Each of these states, and especially Ireland experienced significant growth in the European Union, but once the global financial crisis struck, they suffered a deep economic and social crisis, and came to be categorized once again as ‘peripheral’ to Europe. This acute recurrence of a core- periphery divide in the European Union has been accompanied by a rapid diminution of democracy in the EU and its transformation into an increasingly coercive formation. The deprivation programmes imposed by the EU on the peripheral societies has not only damaged growth in the European economy, they have hugely diminished the legitimacy of the European integration project. The essay explores the roots of Europe’s changing power structures and assesses the implications of the Eurozone crisis for the future of the European integration project.

  • What Contributed to Sinn Féin's Surge in Popularity During the 2020
    What Contributed to Sinn Féin’s surge in popularity during the 2020 general election campaign in Ireland? By Bethany Langham A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for MA in Journalism & Media Communications (QQI) Faculty of Journalism & Media Communications Griffith College Dublin August 2020 I hereby certify that this material, which I now submit for assessment on the programme of study leading to the award of the MA in Journalism & Media Communications, is my own; based on my personal study and/or research, and that I have acknowledged all material and sources used in its preparation. I also certify that I have not copied in part or whole or otherwise plagiarised the work of anyone else, including other students. Signed: Dated: 30/07/20 i Abstract The campaign leading up to the general election on 8 February 2020 in Ireland was eventful and its result unanticipated. Ireland’s usual bipartisan voting trend was broken with the Sinn Féin party winning the most first preference votes for the first time since August 1923. Throughout the twentieth century, the Sinn Féin party mostly lay dormant. It began its continuous contesting of elections in 1987. However, ten years later in the last general election of the twentieth century, Sinn Féin’s support had only risen to 2.5%. Since then, the party has slowly gone from strength to strength with its percentage of first-preference votes breaking the threshold of double digits in February 2016 with 13.85%. This thesis examines the potential reasons for the leap of over 10% in first- preference votes in the space of one general election seen by Sinn Féin.
