The astonishing growth of the the U.S. economy in the late 1990s spilled over into countries from Taiwan (which makes the microchips that power your computer) to Ireland (a prime destination for U.S. firms outsourcing manufacturing). But globalization, it turns out, has a reverse gear. Once it was plain--by last winter--that technology firms had vastly overestimated demand, the consequent retrenchment spread far beyond the Bay Area. Last week, for example, Baltimore Technologies, the jewel in Ireland...
Unlike eco-tourism or adventure tourism, these close encounters with the Third World are overtly political. Popular destinations include Cuba, Nicaragua, Northern Ireland, Iraq, Iran, South Africa, the Palestinian territories--and Mexico's Chiapas state.

...This "part inventor, part craftsman," as Pantelic describes himself, is typical of those who follow in this report, for which a score of correspondents and another dozen photographers fanned out across Europe to discover how the guildhall has met high-tech. At Waterford Crystal in Ireland, for example, each piece of glassware still passes through up to 40 pairs of hands, and master cutter Jim O'Shea still keeps about 400 designs in his head.
