- Abstract
For most candidate countries of the European Union, the prosperity of Ireland is always an inspiring example for similar developing countries. However, Ireland was once the poorest and least developed member of EU and has undergone twists and turns as a peripheral country decades before its economic lift-of. Yet, Irish achievements cannot be separated from the advances of European integration. This paper aims to review the Ireland’s participation in European integration and conclude some Irish experience that could be probably employed by other peripheral countries in its participation in EU. By analyzing significant historical events in a chronological order, this paper explores Ireland’s political change, economic transformation along with cultural development through its membership of EC/EU at different junctures and seeks lessons of development. Overall, it is necessary to develop sustainable indigenous industries in the face of international competitions, and to retain a unique path of development that could allow for public advocacy, national features and international relations.
