“…In PPA scholarship, institutional and ideational analysis helps to examine the preferences and interests of key policy actors, the role of ideas across the policy cycle, asymmetrical power relations among policy actors, and the effect of these relations on the politics of ideas (Béland, 2019;Derthick & Quirk, 1985). Similarly, extensive IPE scholarship recognizes that, in addition to structural, institutional, or interest-based factors, ideas are consequential for social, political, and economic phenomena (Blyth, 2002;Campbell, 1998;Hall, 1989;Levingston, 2020;Nelson, 2017).…”

Central banking as an avenue of research has been of interest to scholars from International Political Economy (IPE) and Public Policy and Administration (PPA) disciplines. Nevertheless, there is very little dialogue between these two perspectives to bridge macro, meso, micro-level analyses and examine the reciprocal relationship between the global and domestic political economy context and monetary policy conduct. This article investigates the Turkish experience to bridge IPE and PPA scholarship on central banking in emerging economies. In doing so, we adopt an analytic eclectic approach combining multiple structural, institutional, and agential causal explanations with particular reference to the Structure, Institution, and Agency (SIA) theoretical framework. This is because analytic eclecticism complements, speaks to, and selectively incorporates theoretical approaches such as the New Independence Approach (NIA) of IPE and institutional and ideational PPA approaches. Drawing on the empirical context of the historical evolution of the Turkish political economy, we explore domestic and international interactions among micro, meso, and macro levels that shape central banking behavior. Our analysis also reveals how global dynamics are translated into domestic policy choices and how particular ideas influence the policymaking process. The analysis underscores the constraining and enabling influence of international dynamics, politics of ideas on emerging economy central banking, and the essential role individual and organizational agency play in the policymaking process.

“…In terms of analytical approaches, what has been termed ‘an intersectional materialist research agenda’ (ibid.) is clearly preferable to the now fashionable ‘ideational’ approach to social and public policy (Beland, ) in which ideas are disconnected from their material conditions. It is precisely the contours of ‘the particular gendered, racialized and localized effects of authoritarian neoliberalism’ (Tansel, : 18) that need to be traced, and, above all, their connections to forms of indebtedness, financialization and capital accumulation.…”

Authoritarian Neoliberalism, Radical Conservatism and Social Policy within the European Union: Croatia, Hungary and Poland

Exploring political and social policy developments in Croatia, Hungary and Poland, three EU member states, this article addresses the hegemonic position of authoritarianism, populism, conservatism and neoliberalism, albeit articulated differently in each state. All three countries are marked by modes of governmentality that combine heteronormative familialism, repatriarchialization, nationalism, ethnicized demographic renewal and anti‐immigrant sentiments. In each, a kind of layered social divestment is occurring, delivering a radical new vision of social reproduction and fundamental differentiations in terms of access to social citizenship between those seen as ‘deserving’ of support and those who are not, who are increasingly subjected to disciplinary measures. Although the degree of welfare retrenchment varies across the cases, the radical nature of restructuring, breaking down traditional notions of left and right on welfare, is suggestive of longer‐term restructurings not reliant on individual politicians or parties.

“…Across the next two sections, we look at the frames (the why) and programs (the how) through which the EU conceives resilience and subsequently, how these are translated into practice as "resilience-building." This provides insight into the underlying, taken-for-granted assumptions in the background of policy discussions that push policy into given directions by limiting both the cognitive and normative range of policy options (Béland, 2019;Campbell, 2004).…”

Under the guise of resilience: The EU approach to migration and forced displacement in Jordan and Lebanon

Building "resilience" to insecurity and crisis is high on the European Union (EU) agenda. EU uptake of this buzzword is especially significant with regard to migration and forced displacement. Uncertainty, however, remains about what resilience is, how it translates into practice, and what its implications are. In this article, we analyze EU humanitarian and development policies and provide empirical insight into resilience-building in Jordan and Lebanon. We show that EU resilience thinking highlights strengthening the humanitariandevelopment nexus, responsibilizing crisis-affected states, and framing refugees as an economic development opportunity for refugee-hosting states. We also find that how resilience translates into practice depends on the local context and interests of the actors involved. For the EU, resilience-building is primarily a refugee containment strategy that could jeopardize the stability of refugee-hosting states. We conclude that resilience-building in Jordan and Lebanon may ultimately threaten rather than safeguard the security of Europe. KEYWORDS Resilience; European Union; humanitarian aid; development; migration; forced displacement Almost nine years into the Syria crisis, the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) has registered over 5.6 million Syrian refugees (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, 2019). Although many have made the dangerous journey across the Mediterranean to reach Europe, most refugees remain in Syria's neighboring countries, notably Turkey, Jordan, and Lebanon. The European Union (EU) has taken up migration and displacement as key security challenges in the 2016 EU Global Strategy for Foreign and Security Policy. In particular, the EU has turned to building the
