ABSTRACT

Chapter 9 briefly summarizes and discusses the main empirical findings and illustrates them using figures and tables. I synthesize each chapter’s theoretical findings into what a middle-range theory of contentious debt politics would look like according to my findings. However, I acknowledge that more research and discussion is necessary and mine is but a suggestion for such a theory. The chapter closes with some meditations on how current mobilizations might shape future debt politics as well as economic trajectories at large.
