It shows how Europe's welfare states survived unrelenting pressures stemming from the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) laid out in the Maastricht Treaty of 1992. Throughout, H. Tolga Bolukbasi draws lessons for scholars and policy practitioners, and his insightful analysis sheds important light on the second wave of Euro-austerity that set in following the Great Recession of 2008. Paying careful attention to government expenditures and budgetary politics, Bolukbasi analyses the political economy of reform in countries where the EMU's impact was expected to be greatest. Based on in-depth comparative case studies of Belgium, Greece, and Italy, he shows how scholars, policymakers, and citizens alike expected Euro-austerity to erode Europe's welfare states. Contrary to popular opinion, Bolukbasi finds that the reality was much more complicated. A thorough critique of the "Euro-austerity hypothesis," this book presents a rigorous comparative study of the resilience of the welfare state in various national contexts."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aWelfare state$zGreece$vCase studies 606 $aWelfare state$zBelgium$vCase studies 607 $aBelgium$xAppropriations and expenditures$vCase studies 608 $aCase studies$2fast 608 $aCase studies.$2lcgft 610 $aBelgium. 610 $aEuro-austerity. 610 $aEurope. 610 $aGreat Recession. 610 $aGreece. 610 $aItaly. 610 $aMaastricht Treaty. 610 $aausterity. 610 $aeconomics. 610 $ainternational relations. 610 $areform. 610 $awelfare state. 615 0$aWelfare state 615 0$aWelfare state 676 $a330.126094 686 $acci1icc$2lacc 700 $aBolukbasi$b H.
