Товч агуулга:The Politics of Economic Crisis explores how Western European democracies responded politically to economic upheavals — especially crises of the 1970s and early 1980s — showing that economic downturns don’t just affect markets, but reshape policy, government stability, and social contracts. The book analyzes how crises triggered shifts in government coalitions, austerity measures, deregulation, labor and welfare policies, and redefined the balance between state, market, and society. It argues that political institutions and interest‑group dynamics — not just economic conditions — determine how a country weathers economic crisis and which social and economic policies result.
