Dr has been awarded a prestigious Research Fellowship by the , which is due to commence on the 1st October 2014 for 12 months.

The Fellowship will allow Dr Holmes to complete a research monograph entitled 'Visions of perfectibility: state, market and alternatives in the formation of economic ideas'. The book will examine the way in which public economic discourse has become trapped within a notion of opposition between state and market, unpacking the history of ideas that gave rise to this situation as a set of ‘visions of perfectibility’. It will observe how state-market opposition has constrained debate on economic management in the post- 2008 landscape, before exploring various sites for re-imagining the purpose of the economy outside of the bounds of state and market.

You can now download the next in the SPERI Paper series Paper No.10 – The Hollande Presidency, the Eurozone Crisis & the Politics of Fiscal Rectitude by Ben Clift (SPERI Honorary Research Fellow & Professor of Political Economy, University of 糖心TV).

The paper analyses the political economy of the Hollande Presidency in France, evaluating the economic policies pursued by the French Socialist President since May 2012. It explains the limited coherence and success of economic policy under Hollande in terms of constraints operating at domestic and European levels, and through credibility concerns of financial markets. Domestically, it highlights difficulties managing the presidential majority, notably due to presidentialised factionalism within French Socialism. At the European level it explores disagreements within the Franco-German relationship over which economic ideas should underpin macroeconomic policies to tackle Europe’s recession and efforts to resolve the Eurozone crisis.
