"Finally, a book that asks the core forward-looking question overlooked in most analyses of the crises the EU has faced over the past decade: who learned what lesson, and to what effect? Using the case of the Eurozone crisis, the answers Kamkhaji provides are a crucial read for everyone interested in the process of European integration, crisis management and policy-making in general." -Femke van Esch, Professor of European Governance and Leadership of the EU, Utrecht University, the Netherlands. This book analyzes the EU's responses to the sovereign debt crisis that hit the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) in 2010. After reviewing the events that led to the crisis, it examines two case studies. The first assesses the short-term policy changes by drawing on a new mechanism, contingent learning. The second case study revolves around the long-term EMU reforms passed during the period 2010-2013. More specifically, it assesses these responses in relation to the institutional scientific publications of the European Central Bank and the DG ECFIN of the Commission. By analyzing both the short and long-term responses to the sovereign debt crisis, the book elucidates how policy learning can be an effective engine for deeper European integration. It will be of interest to scholars and students of EU integration, the EMU, policy learning, and supranational bureaucracies. Jonathan C. Kamkhaji is a Post-Doctoral Researcher at the Department of Management, Economics and Industrial Engineering, Politecnico Milano, Italy. His research interests include European integration, public policy, and regulatory governance. He previously worked as a consultant for the World Bank, and has published research in the Journal of European Public Policy, Regulation & Governance, and Policy Studies Journal. .

Tijs Laenen has written an insightful and important book that not only tells the reader what to make of popular support for basic income, but also how it affects the prospect of basic income becoming policy reality in our near future. A must-read for anyone taking basic income seriously! Jurgen De Wispelaere, Assistant Professor, Stockholm School of Economics, Riga (Latvia) & Adjunct Professor, Faculty of Social Sciences, Tampere University (Finland) Tijs Laenen, himself an expert in the design and conduct of opinion polls, offers us an invaluable overview of the popularity of basic income across the developed world. His book is an indispensable tool for those who have an interest in the future of basic income and, more generally, in the feasibility of social protection reforms. Yannick Vanderborght, Professor of Political Science at Université Saint-Louis - Bruxelles (Belgium) This book provides a state-of-the-art overview of the popularity of basic income among the general public. Using data from a wide array of public opinion polls conducted in different countries and years, the book first charts popular support for the ideal-typical version of basic income, broadly defined as a "periodic cash payment unconditionally delivered to all on an individual basis, without means-test or work requirement”. On top of that, the book maps popular support for the many other, differently designed varieties of basic income that are part of real-world proposals, pilots, and experiments – including, for example, a participation income, a negative income tax, and a stakeholder grant. By investigating how and why support for different types of basic income varies across countries, evolves over time, and differs between individuals with different characteristics, this book offers crucial information about the political constituencies that can be mobilized in favor of (or against) the introduction of basic income, thereby contributing to our knowledge on the political feasibility of basic income. Tijs Laenen is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the School of Social and Behavioral Sciences of Tilburg University, the Netherlands, where he holds a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship, and at the Centre for Sociological Research of KU Leuven, Belgium, where he is coordinator of the “Basic Income in Belgium" project.

"Türegün's Policy Responses to the Interwar Economic Crisis makes an important contribution to the comparative political economy of public policy literature. While his focus is on what shaped national responses to the interwar economic crisis, it raises questions about the current period, which is also marked by an ongoing crisis of the hitherto hegemonic neo-liberal paradigm unleashed by global economic turbulence, now exacerbated by COVID-19. In this period, too, we see the rise of protectionism, this time with a strong anti-migrant aspect. Türegün's book forces us to ask how have things changed and what remains the same?" -Rianne Mahon, Distinguished Research Professor, Carleton University, Canada. "An original and provocative interpretation of the policy alternatives and paradigms on offer during the interwar crisis. Türegün's nuanced account probes and illuminates the complex interplay between material interests and political programs and ideas, in a variety of national cases." -Stephen McBride, Professor and Canada Research Chair in Public Policy and Globalization, McMaster University, Canada. This book is about national economic policy responses to the Great Depression of the interwar period. Taking off from a generally liberal starting point in the 1920s, states diverged greatly in their responses. Some were daring while others remained conservative. The two groups further differed among themselves in both degree and kind. The book gives a certain shape to this messy reality by identifying broad policy patterns (paradigms), and offers an explanation of it which emphasizes the ideational disposition of policy actors while recognizing the context that limits what they can do. More specifically, it argues that the ideas held by rulers and the strategies they consequently developed regarding three major groups of interest - business, labour, and, most critically, agrarians - largely determined economic policy variation across nations. Adnan Türegün is Adjunct Research Professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Carleton University, Canada. His research interests include historical sociology, social stratification, professionalization, and immigrant economic integration. .
