The international economic crisis has hit Europe, especially its
'periphery', remarkably hard, and has had deep consequences at the
economic and political levels. Since its onset, parties in
parliament (especially those in opposition) have found themselves
faced with a dilemma: choosing between the need to cooperate with
the government in order to overcome the crisis and the opportunity
provided by a weakened government to stress their adversarial
position, so as to be more easily re-elected and possibly get into
power. What have they decided to do? This is a crucial question,
for which there is no easy or intuitive answer. The present volume
introduces a collection of works exploring this dilemma in southern
European countries, by examining the opposition behaviour in
Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain; and in the European Parliament.
In so doing, we shall try to understand not only what kind of
impact the crisis has had on the level of consensus in parliament
in the four countries mentioned, but also whether differences are
observable across cases. This book was originally published as a
special issue of the Journal of Legislative Studies.
