Mayntz Renate

In reaction to the international financial crisis of 2007, a network of social scientists from seven countries analyzed the various changes in the regulation of financial markets, and this book presents their results.

An indispensible tool for political scientists, "Crisis and Control" contributes significantly to the theory of institutional change.
