Abstract

Kutlay offers a comparative analysis of the Turkish and Greek cases with particular reference to three-stage framework. Chapter 7 lays out the main findings of the present book. Accordingly, in-depth analysis of four episodes in two reactive states puts the parts of the conceptual framework together. Main findings advance the debate on reform dynamics in reactive states, on the centrality of crisis narratives approach in explaining the divergence of post-crisis outcomes, and on the role of policy entrepreneurs in instigating paradigmatic changes in the aftermath of economic crises.
