Thórisdóttir, Hulda Politics and government bic Book Industry Communication::J Society & social sciences::JP Politics & government This book examines to what extent politics in Iceland have been transformed in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. The book focuses on whether the short-term sudden shock caused by the Great Recession has permanently transformed politics, political behaviour and the Icelandic party system or whether its effect was primarily transitory. These questions remain highly relevant to the wider field of political science, as the book examines under what circumstances sudden shocks lead to permanent changes in a political system. As such, the book situates the post-crisis Icelandic case both temporally and comparatively and evaluates to what extent the Iceland experience is reflective of broader patterns found in other Western democracies, particularly those other countries that were also hard hit by the Great Recession (e.g. Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain and Italy). This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of Nordic politics, Icelandic politics and society, electoral studies, political parties and party systems, representative democracy, political behaviour and more broadly to European and comparative politics. 2021-09-03T15:23:36Z 2021-09-03T15:23:36Z 2022 book ONIX_20210903_9780429790683_3 9780429790683 9780429436345 9781138349384 9781032072999 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/50541 eng Routledge Advances in European Politics application/pdf Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International 9780429790683.pdf Taylor & Francis Routledge 10.4324/9780429436345 10.4324/9780429436345 7b3c7b10-5b1e-40b3-860e-c6dd5197f0bb 9780429790683 9780429436345 9781138349384 9781032072999 Routledge 198 open access

This book examines to what extent politics in Iceland have been transformed in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. The book focuses on whether the short-term sudden shock caused by the Great Recession has permanently transformed politics, political behaviour and the Icelandic party system or whether its effect was primarily transitory. These questions remain highly relevant to the wider field of political science, as the book examines under what circumstances sudden shocks lead to permanent changes in a political system. As such, the book situates the post-crisis Icelandic case both temporally and comparatively and evaluates to what extent the Iceland experience is reflective of broader patterns found in other Western democracies, particularly those other countries that were also hard hit by the Great Recession (e.g. Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain and Italy). This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of Nordic politics, Icelandic politics and society, electoral studies, political parties and party systems, representative democracy, political behaviour and more broadly to European and comparative politics.
