Lisbon rising explores the role of a widespread urban social
movement in the revolutionary process that accompanied Portugal's
transition from authoritarianism to democracy. It is the first
in-depth study of the widest urban movement of the European
post-war period, an event that shook the balance of Cold War
politics by threatening the possibility of revolution in Western
Europe. Using hitherto unknown sources produced by movement
organisations themselves, it challenges long-established views of
civil society in Southern Europe as weak, arguing that popular
movements had an important and autonomous role in the process that
led to democratisation, inviting us to rethink the history and
theories of transitions in the region in ways that account for
popular agency. Lisbon rising will be of interest not only to
students of twentieth-century European history, but across
disciplines to students of democratisation, social movements and
citizenship in political science and sociology. -- .
