| Abstract | |
| In a world of accusing ideologies and impugned ideals, the news of territorial union is less a joy than cultural disintegration. Yet Tom Paulin and Seamus Heaney have advocated integration with Europe and the world. Does it spell a doom for the independent Irish nation? Is it facing a cultural threat? How can one assimilate even while upholding one’s political and cultural distinctiveness? As states in India face threats of Americanization and witness break-up of major states into smaller units, a study of the subject of Ireland and modern-day integration ethics is pertinent. | |
