This interdisciplinary book draws on leading scholarship on one of
the most influential and consequential social movements of the past
decades: Spain’s 15-M movement. The volume explores the legacy,
impact and outcomes of the movement, and the lessons it offers for
understanding mobilization in times of crisis. The book opens with
a theoretical reconsideration of the positive ways social movements
can impact democracy, moving the field forward significantly. It
also offers rich case studies to explore a range of areas of
interest to social movement scholars. Chapters explore the
biographical consequences of participation in social movements; how
memories of the movement inspired new mobilizations; the reciprocal
influence between the 15-M movement and feminist economics; how
urban democracy was transformed by municipalism arising from the
movement; how the movement generated a “Caring democracy” in
the face of the Covid pandemic; and how it gave rise to a new
radical democratic media ecosystem. The book explores the
movement’s political economy as well as reflects on one of its
unintended consequences: the rise of the penalization of
counter-hegemonic protest in contemporary Spain. Although focused
on a single emblematic movement, it offers significant insights and
lessons for scholarship on contemporary politics and movements.
Re-imagining Democracy provides a valuable resource for scholars
and students interested in the challenges faced by contemporary
democracies, the dynamics of social movements in times of crisis,
and the profound impact of social movements on contemporary
democracy. The chapters in this book were originally published as a
peer-reviewed special issue of Social Movement Studies.
