Yes yes … Ian is dr now;) Congratulations, Ian!!!
Short abstract of his thesis:
The thesis concerned the superior economic performance of small
European countries compared to large European countries in the 1980s
and 1990s. Many explanations focus on the role of policies and
institutions, while others mention the influence of national culture
without investigating it fully. The thesis used a neo-Gramscian
framework, and data from 18 qualitative elite interviews, to make the
case for the role of national culture in the economy’s evolution.
