Abstract
Since the 1970s, one of the major challenges of governments has been coping with the economic crisis. This chapter explores what factors may cause variations in (the effects of) socioeconomic problem-solving in comparable countries. The relationships between institutional arrangements, like corporatism and the style of political leadership, and the behaviour of actors and their ‘room to manoeuvre’ will be specially examined. How and to what extent can these configurations of institutional design and actors account for the patterned variation of socioeconomic policy formation and performance?
