This book traces and analyzes the legislation and implementation of
pension reforms in four Central, Eastern and Southeastern European
countries: Croatia, Hungary, Poland and Slovenia. By comparing the
political economy of their policymaking processes, it seeks to
pinpoint regularities between institutional settings, actor
constellations, decision-making strategies and reform. Guardiancich
employs a historical institutionalist framework to analyze the
policies, actors and institutions that characterized the period
between the collapse of socialism and the global financial crisis
of 2008-2011. He argues that viable pension reforms should not be
seen simply as an event, but rather as a continuing process that
must be fiscally, socially and politically sustainable. In
particular, the primary goal of a pension scheme is to reduce
poverty, provide adequate retirement income and insure against the
risks of old age within given fiscal constraints, and this will
happen only if the scheme enjoys continuing political support at
all levels. To this end the author individuates those institutional
characteristics of countries that increase the consistency of
reforms and lower the likelihood of policy reversals in time.
Pension Reforms in Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe will be
of interest to students and scholars of political science,
political economy, social policy and economics.
