Description
Crisis Policymaking in the EU provides a detailed comparative study of how European institutions and member states navigated two unprecedented challenges: the COVID-19 pandemic and the refugee crisis of 2015-16. Hanspeter Kriesi, a leading expert on European politics, analyzes the decision-making processes, institutional frameworks, and political consequences of crisis response policies.
The book examines how the EU’s supranational governance structures adapted to emergencies, the role of individual member states, and the varying effectiveness of policy interventions. By comparing these two distinct crises, Kriesi illuminates broader patterns in European crisis management, including the tensions between national sovereignty and collective action, the politicization of policy responses, and the long-term implications for European integration.
Essential reading for scholars, policymakers, and students of European politics seeking to understand how contemporary crises reshape EU governance and politics.
