This book analyses protests against the Great Recession in the
European periphery. While social movements have long been
considered as children of affluent times - or at least of times of
opening opportunities - these protests defy such expectations,
developing instead in moments of diminishing opportunities in both
the economic and the political realms. Can social movement studies
still be useful to understanding these movements of troubled times?
The authors offer a positive answer to this question, although
specify the need to bridge contentious politics with other fields,
including political economy. They highlight differences in the
social movements' strength and breadth and attempt to understand
them in terms of three sets of dimensions: a) the specific
characteristics of the socio-economic crisis and its consequences
in terms of mobilization potential; b) the political reactions to
it, in what we can define as political opportunities and threats;
and c) the social movement cultures and structures that
characterize each country. The book discusses these topics through
a contextualized analysis of anti-austerity protest in the European
periphery.
