Spain has become a remarkable democratic laboratory in which
millions of citizens are experimenting with new forms of political
expression. This book examines the dynamics of this political
laboratory, showing that the upheavals it is experiencing are
likely in the near future to affect democracies elsewhere in the
world. Examining the new means of participation that were
established in fields where digital communication tools enabled the
launch of novel dynamics of political action, the reader will gain
access to a comprehensive analysis of the reshaping and mutation
process that has affected fields such as activism, political
parties and political participation. Using a case study of the
Spain between 2011 and 2015, the book focuses on the changes that
have taken place in politics and communication in Spain, paying
particular attention to the 15M movement and its disruptive,
innovative strength in all matters related to politics and
communication. The chapters cover political repertoires and the
hybridization of horizontal and vertical political logics; the
appearance of new political parties; the establishment of
monitoring mechanisms as an essential means of political expression
and participation; and the subversion of rationality across media
as a product of the communication strategies implemented by online
political activism. Showing that Spain is not just at the forefront
of democratic innovation, but that it is a political laboratory in
which trials are taking place that tell us much about the future of
democracy everywhere, this book will be of great use to scholars of
political theory, democracy and philosophy.
