Ben Clift Interviewed by the New Books Network About Latest Monograph on the IMF
Ben Clift has recently been interviewed by the New Books Network about his latest monograph on the IMF.
A podcast of Ben's interview is available here:-
The IMF and the Politics of Austerity in the Wake of the Global Financial Crisis by Ben Clift (Oxford University Press, 2018) provides the first comprehensive analysis of major shifts in IMF fiscal policy thinking as a consequence of the great financial crisis and the Eurozone debt crisis. It widely presents the IMF鈥檚 role in the politics of austerity. The book also offers an innovative theory specifying four mechanisms of IMF ideational change – reconciliation, operationalization, corroboration, and authoritative recognition. It combines in-depth content analysis of the Fund鈥檚 vast intellectual production with extensive interviews with IMF economists and management.
Panel discussion: Markets VS Democracy? Domestic politics and Eurozone governance in the crisis and beyond
Panel discussion: Markets VS Democracy? Domestic politics and Eurozone governance in the crisis and beyond
Wednesday 20th June, 6pm - 8pm, Room S0.28
The skyrocketing of risk premiums on sovereign debt in Southern Europe, and a narrowly avoided constitutional crisis in Italy, recently conjured up the spectre of the Eurozone crisis, and reignited the debate about the fraught relationship between domestic politics, European integration, and market discipline. This event seeks to discuss the persisting tensions between democratic aspirations and the constraining character of Eurozone pressures. Speakers will draw on experiences from Italy, Spain and Greece, as well as recent developments in European economic governance to address the issues of technocracy, depoliticization, and state autonomy. There will then be time for Q&A and open debate.
Confirmed speakers: Alexis Moraitis (PAIS, 果冻传媒), Javi Moreno Zacares (PAIS, 果冻传媒), Muireann O鈥橠wyer (PAIS, 果冻传媒), Arianna Tassinari (果冻传媒 Business School).
This event is organised by 果冻传媒 PhD students in Politics and International Studies, WBS and Italian Studies, with the kind support of PAIS. All welcome.
