ECONOMIC CRISES AND POLICY REGIMES: THE DYNAMICS OF POLICY INNOVATION AND PARADIGMATIC CHANGE
Book ID/图书代码： 04289514B68076
English Summary/英文概要： In this innovative book, Hideko Magara brings together an expert team to explore both the possibilities and difficulties of transitioning from a neoliberal policy regime to an alternative regime through drastic policy innovations. The authors argue that, for more than two decades, citizens in developed countries have witnessed massive job losses, lowered wages, slow economic growth and widening inequality under a neoliberal policy regime that has placed heavy constraints on policy choices.
The book explores, both theoretically and empirically, the possibility of transition to a new political economic paradigm by seeking feasible answers to questions such as: why has such a regime persisted for a long period of time despite its poor policy performance?; is it possible for democracy to overcome economic crisis through its electoral mechanisms?; and, under what conditions can each government convert crisis of its economy into growth? The book concludes that under different policy regimes, whether Keynesian or neoliberal, there are a variety of growth regimes, and economic performances will consequently vary considerably. The authors ultimately argue that policy innovations need not only political leadership but also the very creation of a new economic theory in order to break a critical juncture of economic stalemates.
Economic Crises and Policy Regimes will appeal to policy makers and practitioners internationally and is an important resource for political scientists, economists and sociologists. Advanced students of comparative politics, comparative political economy and institutional economics will also find much to benefit them in this book.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在这本创新的书中，季子•马加拉汇集了一个专家小组探讨经过激烈的政策创新让新自由主义政策体制过渡到另一种制度的可能性和困难。作者认为，二十年多年后，发达国家的公民已经历大规模裁员，降低工资，缓慢的经济增长，以及新自由主义政策体制下日益扩大的不平等使得在政策选择上附加沉重限制。
该书探讨了理论和经验，通过对这样的问题寻求可行的答案过渡到一个新的政治经济模式的可能性：为什么这样的制度持续了相当长的时间而不管其扶贫政策的表现如何？；是否有可能通过民主选举机制克服经济危机？；以及在什么条件下各自政府可以将经济危机转化为发展？这本书的结论是，在不同的政策制度下，无论是凯恩斯主义还是新自由主义都有多种增长制度，以及经济表现将因此有很大的不同。作者最后认为，政策创新不仅需要政治领导，还需要为了打破经济僵局的关键时刻对一个新的经济理论 的创造。
《经济危机和政策制度》将吸引国际上的政策制定者和实践者，并且是政治学家，经济学家和社会学家的重要资源。比较政治学，比较政治经济学和制度经济学的高级学生还可以在这本书中找到很多有利于他们的信息。
