It argues that the definition of corruption is an evolving one. As the nature of the state changes, so too does the type of corruption. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNew evidence is presented on the early institutional development of the state. Irish public life was motivated by an ethos which rejected patronage. Original research provides fresh insights into how the policies of economic protectionalism and discretionary decision making led to eight Tribunal inquires. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe emergence of state capture within political decision making is examined by analysing political favouritism towards the beef industry. The degree to which unorthodox links between political donations impacted on policy choices which exacerbated the depth of Ireland's economic collapse is considered. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book will appeal to students and scholars of Irish politics, corruption theory, governance, public policy and political financing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elaine Byrne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780719086885\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElaine Byrne is an adjunct lecturer in Irish Politics at Trinity College Dublin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40492836290675,"sku":"9.78072E+12","price":39.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_dedbef41-69be-43ea-9e7f-d64a55e52bf5.jpg?v=1664975562","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/political-corruption-in-ireland-1922-2010-a-crooked-harp-9780719086885","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
