As a result, manufacturers of raw chemicals, pharmaceuticals and highly dangerous substances came to Ireland, where they could make toxic products free from the strict controls imposed by other nations. Robert Allen's book reveals the consequences to human health and the environment of the Irish state's love affair with the multinational chemical industry. The cost to Irish society was a series of ecological and social outrages, starting in the 1970s and continuing into the 2000s. No Global is a lesson for countries who seek to encourage multinationals at the expense of the health of their population and the delicate nature of their ecosystems. It is also a heart- warming record of the successful campaigns fought by local people to protect themselves and their environment from polluting industry. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 Geschichte 1972-1998|2swd 650 0 Chemical industry|xEnvironmental aspects|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009118808|zIreland. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79063445-781 650 0 Pollution|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85104530|zIreland.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names /n79063445-781 650 0 International business enterprises|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85067372|zIreland.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79063445-781 650 0 Environmental protection|zIreland|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2009103377|xCitizen participation. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005035 650 7 Chemical industry|xEnvironmental aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/852969 650 7 Pollution.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1070069 650 7 International business enterprises.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/976774 650 7 Environmental protection.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/913324 650 7 Political participation.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1069386 651 7 Ireland.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1205427 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aAllen, Robert, 1956-|tNo global.|dLondon ; Sterling, Va. : Pluto Press, ©2004|z9780745322117|w(DLC) 2003019936|w(OCoLC)53019359 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=167991|zOnline eBook.
