Messy Europe by Andrea Smith

Messy Europe by Andrea Smith

Messy Europe links theoretical insights to current discussions of crisis - economic and otherwise - showing how these shape the creation of subjectivities and identities.

"The contribution to research-based understandings of `crisis talk', `being in a state of crisis', the growing tension between legal and moral obligations, and the intersection of economics and morality is intriguing, critical, urgent, and comes precisely at the right historical conjunctureThe volume is a welcome and thoughtful effort to disentangle what is going on." * Peter Hervik, Aalborg University
