Following the subprime lending crisis and the financial market
crash of 2008-9, governments throughout Europe implemented a series
of debt reduction measures collectively known as austerity. Across
the continent, citizens and social movements mobilized dramatically
against these measures, calling strikes, occupying public squares,
and developing new forms of political action. These movements
challenged the political and economic elite consensus that there
was no alternative to cutting spending, and protecting the
financial industry at the expense of the public sector; they also
challenged the political systems that gave rise to these measures
and assumptions, demanding democratic renewal, and imagining new
modes of citizenship and political participation. In order to
better understand this wave of protest - its common themes, its
local contexts, its ideas and its actions - this collection brings
together leading scholars in the field to provide a series of
theoretically grounded, empirically rich analyses of Europe's
anti-austerity mobilizations. This book was originally published as
a special issue of Social Movement Studies.
