This collection, originally published in 2007, offers a diachronic
analytical study of new and alternative social movements in Spain
from the democratic transition to the first decade of the 21st
century, paying attention to anti-war mobilizations and the use of
new technologies as a mobilizing resource. New and alternative
social movements are studied through the prism of identified
linkages among the left, movement identities and global processes
in the Spanish context. Weight is given to certain important
historical aspects, like Spain's relatively recent authoritarian
past, and certain value-added factors, such as the weak
associationalism and materialism exhibited by the Spanish public.
These are complemented by exploring insights offered by key
theoretical approaches on social movements (political opportunities
structures, resource mobilization). The volume covers established
social movement cases (gender, peace, environmental movements) as
well as those with a more explicit connection to the current
context of global contestation (squatters' and anti-globalization
movements). This bookw as published as a special issue of South
European Society and Politics.
