This conference took up the question of how the Eurocrisis has confirmed, undermined, or reshaped theoretically grounded expectations in five fields of study: varieties of capitalism; political contestation; European integration; the politics of redistribution; and democracy. How has the crisis influenced our understanding of these fields? Has the crisis confirmed some theories and disconfirmed others? How has it shifted the problematics of research in these fields? What new puzzles and questions have come to the fore?
Format: Five sessions. Each session has been introduced by the author of a plenary paper (15 minutes) followed by two commentaries (each 12 minutes), before opening up to discussion from the floor. Plenary authors were requested to circulate draft papers (6,000-8,000 words) ten days prior to the meeting.
