Perhaps even China will come to realize that siding with Putin is to lose with a loser. That the war was both bloody and illegitimate has forced fence-sitters to choose sides. So far the hallmarks of the war have been Putin’s brutal miscalculation and the unity of what we used to call the “West.” That Europe and America joined quickly in responding firmly – with Germany moving further in two weeks than in previous decades – suggests new possibilities for a coalition of democracies. The roots of the Ukraine war are a tangle including some “might have beens” – none of which, however, remotely justify Russia’s all-out, unprovoked attack. For this one, there is no guide, and applying labels like “new Cold War” is unhelpful in thinking about relations either with China or Russia. Both of those seemed to come with a user’s guide, which wasn’t entirely right but wasn’t entirely wrong either. The previous two were the end of the Soviet Union and 9/11.

The book analyzes social spending dynamics for 28 OECD countries over 24 years. At the heart of this repoliticization are intense ideological debates over market regulation, redistribution, inequality, and the role of the state. The Repoliticization of the Welfare State (forthcoming from University of Michigan Press) is one of the first books to systematically compare European welfare state politics before and after the Great Recession arguing that a new and lasting post-crisis dynamic has emerged where political parties once again matter for social spending.
