Book Synopsis

This collection presents a political sociology of crisis in Europe. Focusing on state and society transformations in the context of the 2008 financial crisis and its aftermath in Europe, it observes a return of redistributive conflicts that correlates with a 'new politics of identity', nationalism, regionalism and expressions of Euroscepticism.

Review Quotes

"This is an ambitious collection, bringing together a diverse group of scholars in an attempt to understand what the ongoing crisis in Europe means for relationships on the continent. ... The book will be of interest to readers seeking to understand the impacts of the European crisis across a variety of settings. It also serves as a useful marker of the utility of political sociology and a point from which future research can depart." (European Journal of Cultural and Political Sociology, Vol. 4 (2), 2017)
