Special Issue: Economic Policy, Governance and Institutions in Times of Crisis

More than half a decade after the outbreak of the greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression, the world economy is still facing serious difficulties. However different policy responses and institutional setups have shown different levels of resilience and effectiveness in coping with the adverse economic conditions to which they were exposed. Starting from this observation, this special issue of Global Policy, guest edited by Andreas Klasen and Henning Meyer, brings together leading experts and practitioners to examine ‘Economic Policy, Governance and Institutions in Times of Crisis’.
