These questions remain highly relevant to the wider field of political science, as the book examines under what circumstances sudden shocks lead to permanent changes in a political system. As such, the book situates the post-crisis Icelandic case both temporally and comparatively, and evaluates to what extent the Iceland experience is reflective of broader patterns found in other Western democracies, particularly those other countries which were also hard hit by the Great Recession (e.g. Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain and Italy).
