Descriptively informative and insightful, analytically ambitious and stimulating, this book is a must read for any student of comparative electoral behaviour.

Hermann Schmitt, University of Manchester, UK

The book is essential reading for anyone interested in Icelandic politics. It analyses the impact of the great recession against the backdrop of long-term changes among the electorate with a view to discerning short-term and long-term factors. It is easy to read yet analytically and methodologically advanced.

Gunnar Helgi Kristinsson, University of Iceland, Iceland

Electoral Politics in Crisis after the Great Recession

This book examines to what extent politics in Iceland have been transformed in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis.

The book focuses on whether the short-term sudden shock caused by the Great Recession has permanently transformed politics, political behaviour and the Icelandic party system or whether its effect was primarily transitory. These questions remain highly relevant to the wider field of political science, as the book examines under what circumstances sudden shocks lead to permanent changes in a political system. As such, the book situates the post-crisis Icelandic case both temporally and comparatively and evaluates to what extent the Iceland experience is reflective of broader patterns found in other Western democracies, particularly those other countries that were also hard hit by the Great Recession (e.g. Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain and Italy).

This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of Nordic politics, Icelandic politics and society, electoral studies, political parties and party systems, representative democracy, political behaviour and more broadly to European and comparative politics.
