European social movements have been central to European history,
politics, society and culture, and have had a global reach and
impact. Yet they have rarely been taken on their own terms in the
English-language literature, considered rather as counterpoints to
the US experience. This has been exacerbated by the failure of
Anglophone social movement theorists to pay attention to the
substantial literatures in languages such as French, German,
Spanish or Italian - and by the increasing global dominance of
English in the production of news and other forms of media. This
book sets out to take the European social movement experience
seriously on its own terms, including: the European tradition of
social movement theorising - particularly in its attempt to
understand movement development from the 1960s onwards the extent
to which European movements between 1968 and 1999 became precursors
for the contemporary anti-globalisation movement the construction
of the anti-capitalist "movement of movements" within the European
setting the new anti-austerity protests in Iceland, Greece, Spain
(15-M/Indignados), and elsewhere. This book offers a comprehensive,
interdisciplinary perspective on the key European social movements
in the past forty years. It will be of interest for students and
scholars of politics and international relations, sociology,
history, European studies and social theory.
