The Global Financial Crisis is the most serious economic crisis since the Great Depression, and although many have explored its causes, relatively few have focused on its consequences. Unlike earlier crises, no new paradigm seems yet to have come forward to challenge existing ways of thinking and neo-liberalism has emerged relatively unscathed. This crisis, characterized by a remarkable policy stability, has lacked a coherent and innovative intellectual response.This book, however, systematically explores the consequences of the crisis, focusing primarily on its impact on policy and politics. It asks how governments responded to the challenges that the crisis has posed, and the policy and political impact of the combination of both the Global Financial Crisis itself and these responses. It brings together leading academics to consider the divergent ways in which particular countries have responded to the crisis, including the U.S., the UK, China, Europe, and Scandinavia. The book also assesses attempts to develop global economic governance and to reform financial regulation, and looks critically at the role of credit rating agencies.

Unions in American National Politics

PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

This is a study of how business interacts with parties, politicians and bureaucrats to defend its interests in a variety of western democracies. The way in which businesses attempt to protect their interests in modern societies varies significantly from country to country and from one time period to another. This second edition has been revised to take into account the triumph of market ideas in the 1980s, and a new chapter on Italy has been added. The book is largely aimed at undergraduate courses in politics, political sociology and business studies.

Completely rewritten throughout for this 3rd edition, Business and Politics provides a survey of the different patterns of business-government relations that exist in advanced industrialised societies. The impact of globalization provides the starting point for a more thematically-informed approach which nonetheless retains the focus on detailed comparison of a range of key countries which made the first two editions such a popular text.

Business and Politics: A Comparative Introduction

<p>An English political scientist transplanted to America examines the question of American exceptionalism. Is the politics of the U.S. really all that different from politics in other advanced industrial democracies? Does America have more in common with other modern democracies than with its own past? To answer these questions, Graham K. Wilson selects several major areas of comparison: the size and scope of government, the nature of beliefs about politics and government, subjects of political debate, patterns of public policy, and the character of political institutions. Refuting the traditional theory of path dependency, Wilson's conclusions challenge the reader to question popular beliefs about American politics and consider new interpretations of international political experience.</p>
