This book analyses the waves of protests, from spontaneous
uprisings to well-organized forms of collective action, which have
shaken European cities over the last decade. It shows how analysing
these protests in connection with the structural context of
neoliberal urbanism and its crises is more productive than standard
explanations. Processes of neoliberalisation have caused deeply
segregated urban landscapes defined by deepening social inequality,
rising unemployment, racism, securitization of urban spaces and
welfare state withdrawal, particularly from poor peripheral areas,
where tensions between marginalized youth and police often manifest
in public spaces. Challenging a conventional distinction made in
research on protest, the book integrates a structural analysis of
processes of large scale urban transformation with analyses of the
relationship between 'riots' and social movement action in nine
countries: France, Greece, England, Germany, Spain, Poland,
Denmark, Sweden and Turkey.
