After the multidimensional financial crisis of 2008, the member
states of the Eurozone imposed a set of economic policies to save
their economies. Socially unpopular cuts contributed to the
occurrence of violent movements that both opposed austerity
policies and created animosity towards the politicians who
implemented them. Combining qualitative and quantitative
comparative analyses from anti-austerity movements in 14 Eurozone
states from 2007 to 2015, Joanna Rak develops an original typology
of patterns of a culture of political violence to explain why some
anti-austerity movements turned to violence and others did not,
despite having shared goals and political values. She uncovers the
very nature of the differences and similarities between cultures of
political violence, identifies their sources, and determines their
differing results. Simultaneously, she opens a discussion on the
exploratory and explanatory utility of the category of a culture of
political violence in the Social Sciences. Theorizing Cultures of
Political Violence in Times of Austerity casts new light on the
scholarly debate on cultures of political violence and
anti-austerity violent behavior, making it a compelling read for
scholars of political sociology, political behavior, comparative
politics, European politics, and sociology.
