Mainstream parties and climate policy development: What Role for Intra-Party Politics
Mainstream parties’ adaptation to the climate agenda is generally understood in terms of their existing ideological profiles or inter-party competitive dynamics. We know much less about the role played by intra-party politics (IPP). In this article we develop a novel analytical schema for understanding IPP and its relationship to climate policy development in mainstream parties by exploring how internal tensions in the ‘Ecological Modernisation’ …
Performing central bank independence: The Bank of England's communicative financial stability strategy
Central bank independence (CBI) has been one of the most significant regulatory state developments of the last three decades. Following the 2008 financial crisis, many central bank mandates were extended to include a responsibility for financial stability. Some commentators claim this jeopardizes CBI by drawing central banks into contested political issues that can impact financial stability, in what we term an independence in decline thesis. Thr…

The politics of the British model of capitalism’s flatlining productivity and anaemic growth: Lessons for the growth models perspective
This article assesses the usefulness of the growth models perspective for understanding contemporary British capitalism in the context of its ongoing ‘productivity puzzle’ and stagnating economic growth. The analysis of British capitalism supports our argument that growth models perspective analyses currently have limited capacity to understand the developmental trajectory of growth models, the instabilities and dysfunctionalities of these models…
The ideational foundations of social democratic austerity in the context of the great recession
The 'austerity settlement' has come to define the post-crisis European political economy. Since 2010, parties from across Europe's political mainstream have implemented austerity and despite the apparent conflict with the interests of their traditional constituents, even social democratic parties have acquiesced to this settlement. However, within the existing literature 'social democratic austerity' is currently under-theorized as it is assumed …
Capitalist Convergence? European (dis?)Integration and the Post-crash Restructuring of French and European Capitalisms
This article critiques and builds upon first-wave (Höpner and Schäfer 2010. A new phase of European integration: organised capitalisms in post-Ricardian Europe. West European Politics, 33 (2), 344–368) and second-wave (Johnston and Regan 2018. Introduction: is the European Union capable of integrating diverse models of capitalism? New Political Economy, 23 (2), 145–159) European Integration and comparative capitalisms literatures which posit conv…
Finance fragmented? Frankfurt and Paris as European financial centres after Brexit
Brexit creates an opportunity for alternative European financial centres. However, no comprehensive empirical analysis of the strategic positioning of actors within these financial centres has been conducted. In this article we outline findings from an extensive research project which we conducted in Frankfurt and Paris, two of the main ‘rivals’ to the City of London, in the aftermath of Brexit. We outline the core findings from this project and …

Our Greatest Riches’: Horses at the Intersection of Settler and Kazakh Society in the Late Imperial Period
This article examines interactions between Slavic peasant migrants and mobile pastoralist Kazakhs within the setting of the Kazakh Steppe during the period of heaviest resettlement to the region beginning in the late nineteenth century and continuing into the early twentieth century. It considers how the importance of horses to both settlers and Kazakhs alike dictated these interactions and how the sedentary world of the settlers disrupted the se…
Is this crisis of French socialism different? Hollande, the rise of Macron, and the reconfiguration of the left in the 2017 presidential and parliamentary elections
With the extraordinary rise of Emmanuel Macron and the near complete collapse of the Parti Socialiste (PS), the past year has seen arguably the most dramatic upheaval in the French party system since 1958. This article develops a political economy analysis of the Hollande quinquennat to better understand how we arrived here. It argues that Hollande’s programmatic failures must be situated within an institutional account of the constraints of the …
Networks of Social Support to Manage Poverty: More Changeable than Durable
This article focuses on the durability and changeability of networks of social support to manage poverty from a life-course perspective. Drawing on interviews with members of 20 families, the authors explore networks’ origins and changes, the sources of support, and types of supports exchanged. The authors find networks to manage poverty are more likely to be in flux than durable. Intersecting transitions over life courses and shifting availabili…
Post-crisis social democratic policy capacity in France and the United Kingdom: A lesson from the globalisation and social democracy debate
W hy do we still need a census? Views from the age of “truthiness” and the “death of evidence”
This viewpoint reports on a multidisciplinary panel held at the 2012 CAG/Congress meeting that brought together a number of researchers with important expertise on census‐related issues. They were asked to tackle the question: “Why do we still need a census?” Their presentations generated dialogue based on both Canadian and international experiences with recent changes in census data collection approaches. The article presents some cautionary obs…
Changing Patterns of Religious Affiliation, Religiosity, and Marital Dissolution: A 35-Year Study of Three-Generation Families
This article examines multiple aspects of religion and the risk of marital dissolution with a life course lens. Relying on the Longitudinal Study of Generations (LSOG), 1971 to 2005, we explore the effects of religion on the risk of first marital dissolution. Using discrete time-logit analysis, we find that the effect of religion and religiosity on divorce and separation were not significant, after controlling for sociodemographic factors, such a…
Karen R. Foster, Generation, Discourse, and Social Change
G eneration, Discourse, and Social Change is a welcome addition to the Routledge Advances in Sociology book series.It is small book -seven chapters and three short technical appendices -but punches above its weight and volume in its substantive contribution to sociology and to workers/workplaces.The book opens with an oft-heard statement about younger people "They want more.They always want more" (p. 1).This is uttered by a respondent in Foster's…

Life Course as a Policy Lens: Challenges and Opportunities
This set of research studies on the life course as a policy lens springs from research and discussions over more than a year and a half among academic researchers and policy analysts. The six empirical studies in this special issue all rely on the life-course perspective to extend the reach of the perspective into areas with policy relevance that have not been examined previously with a life-course lens. The studies examine aboriginal health, soc…
Gøsta Esping-Andersen, Incomplete Revolution: Adapting Welfare States to Women’s New Roles
S ome years ago, Gøsta Esping-Andersen vowed to dedicate himself to anything but the welfare state.Luckily for sociologists and others interested in the changes and challenges of welfare states, he reneged on that vow.The principal argument of this book, which is certain to be as enticing as it is controversial, is that the thus far incomplete revolution in women's roles is provoking serious disequilibria in societies.Arguing that the term "revol…

Continuities and Transformations: Challenges to Capturing Information about the 'Information Society
Continuous change and radical transformations are intrinsic and often contradictory in the 'Information Society.' If the 'Information Society' marks a radical social shift, i.e. discontinuous change, then theorizing what the phenomenon is becomes crucial in capturing useful information about it. Yet, if continuities with other changes, both economic and social, characterize the 'Information Society,' then well-tested information systems might be …
The subjective experience of intimacy, passion, and commitment in heterosexual loving relationships
Lovers’responses to open‐ended questions concerning the experience and communication of intimacy, passion, and commitment were content‐ and factor‐analyzed. These analyses resulted in six ways of experiencing intimacy (openness, sex, affection, supportiveness, togetherness , and quiet company); two ways of experiencing passion (romance and sexual intimacy); and five ways of experiencing commitment (supportiveness, expressions of love, fidelity, e…
