Europe Managing the Crisis: The politics of fiscal consolidation
Autor Walter Kickert, Tiina Randma-Liiven Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 iun 2016
Drawing on uniquely comprehensive research data, this book presents an in-depth comparative analysis of how 14 European governments tackled the challenge of fiscal consolidation, and analyses the political decision-making behind these measures. By exploring national responses not just in fiscal terms, but also from a political perspective, it reveals that decision making has been driven by political factors with profound effects on public administration and management.
This ground-breaking book fills an important gap in the research literature for scholars of public management, public administration and policy, and will be a benchmark for future work on the global economic crisis.

Recenzii
'The strength of the book is in the transparent analytical framework and the full coverage of aspects: cuts, expenditures, revenues, investments. The focus on decision making (or non-decision making) turns the book in a supremely useful embedded case for teaching in leadership, decision making, political economy, governance and administration. For this reason, the book becomes relevant for political science, economists, public administration, management, and even lawyers. Finally, the book is crucial since it is not just analyzing and discussing process but also effects. For all these reasons, this book will become a standard volume in crisis governance.' - Geert Bouckaert, President of the International Institute of Administrative Sciences
'Drawing on a wealth of original research, comparing the response of a range of countries to the Economic crisis, this book delivers valuable insight into the issues raised by the recent near collapse of much of the world’s economy. The strength of the book is that it places political considerations, decisions and institutions in their rightful place - at the center of its analysis.' - Andrew Massey, Professor, University of Exeter, UK and Editor of International Review of Administrative Sciences and Public Money and Management.
'This is a much-needed book. Kickert and Randma-Liiv tackle the crucial issue of understanding the responses adopted by national governments across Europe to the financial, economic and fiscal crises. They map decision-making patterns and delve into the explanations and the effects of them, by bringing political and administrative factors to the foreground. Decision-makers and scholars alike will much benefit from this major study.' - Edoardo Ongaro, Professor, Northumbria University, UK and President of the European Group for Public Administration.
'The global financial crisis has been the subject of an immense amount of scholarly and popular attention. This book is one of the very best treatments available on the reactions of European governments to the crisis and the effects of their policy choices. Kickert and Randma-Liiv combine generalizations about government actions with insightful examinations of the policy choices of individual countries.' - B. Guy Peters, Professor, University of Pittsburgh, USA and President of the International Public Policy

Descriere
The financial crisis has largely been studied by economists, but the diversity of European countries' response has both an economic and a political perspective. By exploring national responses not just in fiscal terms, but also from a political-administrative perspective, it reveals that decision making has been driven by political factors, leading to profound effects on public administration and management. Filling an important gap in the research literature for scholars of public management, public administration and policy, it will be a benchmark for future work on the global economic crisis.
