Business elites and populism: Understanding business responses
This article analyses the challenges to business associated with the rise of right-wing populism. It discusses how the populist turn has weakened key underpinnings of business power in the neoliberal era, notably the prevalence of quiet politics and network governance. This article analyses the complex strategic dilemmas these challenges create for business. Extending Hirschman’s classic model of exit, voice and loyalty, it develops a novel typol…
The Wind from the East: China and European Economic Development
In recent years Europe has become a primary focus for Chinese investment. In the context of the rolling out of Chinese government plans such as its Belt and Road Initiative and ‘Made in China 2025’ industrial strategy, and the fact that many Chinese companies are either controlled or influenced by the Communist Party, major consequences for Europe's economic development — and its social, political and geopolitical corollaries — are now in train. …
Brexit and British Business Elites: Business Power and Noisy Politics
This article analyzes business power in the context of noisy politics by comparing business involvement in two British referendum campaigns: one about membership in the European Communities in 1975, and the Brexit referendum about European Union membership in 2016. By exploring these two contexts, the article seeks to identify the conditions under which business elites can and cannot be effective in a context of noisy politics. Three key factors …

It identifies and compares firm-centered, governance-centered, and state-centered approaches to extending the debate on capitalist diversity, and discusses the distinctive contributions of each approach as well as the trade-offs between them. The author draws on three agenda-setting volumes that engage with thevocframework and study capitalist diversity …
State-society relations and the sources of support for the Putin regime: Bridging Political Culture and Social Contract Theory
This article evaluates two theoretical approaches to the popularity and resilience of authoritarianism in Russia, namely political culture and social contract theory. These approaches are two of the most important theories of Russian politics and also reflect the general divide in comparative and post-communist politics between political-cultural and rationalist explanations. We demonstrate that these approaches are bound up with different notion…
Moderation as Courage: The Legacy of Stanley Hoffmann as a Scholar and Public Intellectual
This essay reflects on Stanley Hoffmann's contributions as a scholar and public intellectual. We focus on Stanley Hoffmann's scholarly, intellectual and ethical legacy by highlighting two sets of contributions, where his work challenged much international relations scholarship in the second half of the 20th century. First, we identify the ways in which his research speaks to important policy concerns, whilst maintaining a certain detachment from …
Crisis and opportunity: Varieties of capitalism and varieties of crisis responses in Estonia and Slovenia
A growing literature has analysed capitalist institutions in Slovenia and Estonia, two countries often viewed as representing very different varieties of capitalism in Central and Eastern Europe. Slovenia has been unique in the region, given its highly centralized wage bargaining and the importance of corporatist institutions, notably the tripartite Economic and Social Council; it is thus an exception to the general pattern of weak unions and ‘il…
Currency boards, depoliticization and macroeconomic stability: The political economy of institutional complementarities
This article analyzes the potential for institutional design to depoliticize macroeconomic policy-making by examining currency board arrangements. It develops a novel argument to understand the effects of institutional design based on institutional complementarities. This argument highlights that the functioning of a given institution is conditioned by the broader institutional context. The article contrasts this framework with two common approac…

Kita vertus, naujasis institucionalizmas susilaukė kritikos dėl to, kad sunkiai geba paaiškinti instit…
Coalitions and Corporatism: The Slovenian Political Economy and the Crisis
Slovenia stands out as the only post-communist country to have established a corporatist system and centralized wage bargaining at the national level in the 1990s. This article analyses the emergence and sustainability of Slovenian corporatism as well as the ways in which it has shaped policymaking during the economic crisis. Drawing on recent advances in institutional analysis, this article develops a coalitional argument to account for the emer…
From the ruble zone to the euro zone: The political economy of Estonian macroeconomic policy
This article analyzes Estonian macroeconomic policy since the country regained independence in 1991. Estonia was the first post-communist country to introduce a currency board in 1992, and consecutive governments have systematically prioritized macroeconomic stability and fiscal prudence. Estonia implemented an internal devaluation in 2008–2009, which enabled it to become the first post-Soviet republic to adopt the euro in 2011. This article expl…
Varieties of capitalism and the Estonian economy: Institutions, growth and crisis in a liberal market economy
This article examines Estonia’s economic institutions, performance and vulnerability to the global economic crisis in the context of the varieties of capitalism framework. It shows that Estonia shares many characteristics of a liberal market economy, but that there are also some features which do not fit the classical model, notably its corporate governance institutions. It also suggests that the varieties of capitalism framework can account for …

This chapter focuses on industrial relations a…
