Abstract
Economic and financial crises have, in various times and places, generated major political change and spurred policy adjustments that have altered long-term trajectories. Unanticipated crises with an important exogenous or global element, such as those of 1998 and 2008–09, produce some special dynamics which introduce into the existing domestic context an external influence that the system may have few resources to cope with. Such events can sometimes pose challenges to the domestic balance of power that would not have otherwise emerged.
