Yet, as the contributors to this collection argue, the recent austerity-related European crisis is not a breach of erstwhile development schemes, but a continuation of economic policies. Using historical analysis and ethnographically-grounded research, this volume shows the similarities of the European conundrum with realities outside Europe, seeing austerity in a non-Eurocentric fashion. In doing so, it offers novel insights as to how economic crises are experienced at a global level UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781785338717?locatt=mode:legacy UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781785338717 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781785338717/original ER -
