Clearly, the experience of these concepts in both countries varies greatly: for example, while the French demonstrate a certain 'méfiance' - even 'mépris' - towards the globalisation project, which they associate with Hollywood, Microsoft, McDonalds and very little that is positive, the Irish, particularly during the Celtic Tiger years, were enthused by the possibili-ties it offered in terms of material gain and liberation from the excessive control of the Roman Catholic Church. In relation to the latter, many commentators argue that globalisation brought a more secular mindset to Ireland in recent decades, whereas in France the term 'laïcité' is strongly identified with the Republican ideology that dates back to the French Revolution. Clearly, therefore, the theme is a revealing one. (Verlagstext). ISBN 9783631590522
