Treble Troubles? Marketization, social protection and emancipation considered through the lens of slavery / Julia O'Connell Davidson --

Moral economy versus political economy: provincializing Polanyi / John Holmwood --
Collective identity under reconstruction: the case of West Piraeus (Greece) / Giorgos Bithymitris --
Austria between "social protection" and "emancipation": negotiating global flows, marketization and nostalgia / Christian Karner --
Disembedding the embedded/disembedded opposition / José Julián López --
The politics of nostalgia in urban redevelopment projects: the case of Antwerp-Dam / Bruno Meeus, Tim Devos and Seppe De Blust --
Longing for purity: countryside, (far-right) nationalism and the (im)possibility of progressive politics of nostalgia / Bernhard Forchtner --
"Varieties of Nostalgia" in Argentinean and Chilean generations / Raimundo Frei -- The Egyptian Economic Crisis: Insecurity, Affect, Nostalgia / Amal Treacher Kabesh -- Epilogue / Christian Karner and Bernhard Weicht.
Bringing together contributions from an international group of social scientists, this collection examines diverse crises, both historical and contemporary, which implicate market forces, widening inequalities, social exclusion, forms of resistance, and ideological polarisation. The Commonalities of Global Crises offers carefully researched case studies which stretch across large geographical distances- from Egypt to the US and from northern, central, eastern and southern Europe to South America- and covers timely issues including human rights, slavery, care, migration, racism, and the far right. The volume demonstrates that such different settings and diverse concerns are characterized by a common tension in which the crises that unfold around pressures of widening marketization and commodification are met by the (re)building or re-assertion of various communities, and competing politics of solidarity and nostalgia.
