The ascendance of austerity policies and the protests they have
generated have had a deep impact on the shape of contemporary
politics. The stunning electoral successes of SYRIZA in Greece,
Podemos in Spain and the Movimento 5 Stelle (M5S) in Italy,
alongside the quest for a more radical left in countries such as
the UK and the US, bear witness to a new wave of parties that draws
inspiration and strength from social movements. The rise of
movement parties challenges simplistic expectations of a growing
separation between institutional and contentious politics and the
decline of the left. Their return demands attention as a way of
understanding both contemporary socio-political dynamics and the
fundamentals of political parties and representation. Bridging
social movement and party politics studies, within a broad concern
with democratic theories, this volume presents new empirical
evidence and conceptual insight into these topical socio-political
phenomena, within a cross-national comparative perspective.
