This book analyses social movements and radical political parties'
strategies in Spain, Greece, Portugal and Italy from 2008 to today.
Events in 2011 such as the Arab Spring and the indignados movement
in Spain initiated a new cycle of social protest. This book
explores how the economic crisis and policies of austerity have
transformed and continue to transform social movements, trade
unions and radical political parties in Southern Europe. The
economic crisis has led to a rise in protest movements, which
confront political institutions and conventional forms of
democracy, and develop new spatial and organisational strategies.
This book examines these cases, in addition to those groups who,
contrastingly, have used institutional politics to achieve their
aims, such as new political parties like Podemos in Spain or
Movimento 5 Stelle in Italy. Analysing the extent to which there
has been a change in approach when it comes to contesting
neo-liberal capitalism, this book makes an important contribution
to the study of social movements and radical politics. With a
comparative perspective and an emphasis on studying the largely
unexplored recent social and political dynamics in the European
periphery, this book is essential reading for students, scholars
and activists interested in social movements, radical politics and
European politics more generally.
