When interview by Lavinia Stan, Professor Erne talks about what inspired this book, how the team worked together, and which conclusions they arrived at.

“It is indeed a collective work, and it's not an edited book. […] it's the result of six years of work, and that was made possible by this European Research Council grant, which allowed us to study this radical shift in EU economic governance that we have seen after the financial crisis in Europe.” Professor Erne explained.

The full interview is available on the (opens in a new window)NBN website and on (opens in a new window)Spotify.

'Politicising Commodification provides a path-breaking, comprehensive and rigorous analysis of the nature and impact of the European Union's New Economic Governance (NEG) policy regime on employment relations (ER) and public service provision from its ad hoc inception in 2009, under the financial crisis, through to the Covid emergency and its immediate aftermath.' Paul Marginson
