'This timely book is indispensable reading for anyone concerned with the dramatic challenges the democracies and systems of government around the world are facing as a result of the global financial crisis and politics of austerity.'Robert Blackburn, King's College London, UK'Few see any substantial connection between the global financial crisis and national constitutions. But, in this impressive and timely book, a strong collection of talented constitutional experts from Europe and North America reveal the essential dynamics of this connection and scrutinize the varying responses to the crisis under different constitutional regimes. It offers a provocative and penetrating comparative analysis that should be read by financial scholars and constitutional jurists alike.'Allan C. Hutchinson, York University, Canada'This book provides the first comprehensive effort to address the relationship between the financial crisis in western democracies with constitutional developments. It is an invaluable contribution that provides an important framework for further study, including consideration of the external factors and non-governmental forces that are bending constitutions in crisis.'Timothy Canova, Nova Southeastern University, USA
