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.
European social movements have become increasingly visible in
recent years, generating intense public debates. From
anti-austerity and pro-democracy movements to right-wing
nationalist movements, these movements expose core conflicts around
European democracy, identity, politics and society. The Routledge
Handbook of Contemporary European Social Movements offers a
comprehensive interdisciplinary overview of the analysis of
European social movements, helping to orient scholars and students
navigating a rapidly evolving field while developing a new agenda
for research in the area. The book is divided into eight sections:
Visions of Europe; Contemporary models of democracy; Historical
evolution of major European movements; Feminism and sexualities;
Movement diffusion within and beyond Europe; Anti-austerity
movements; Technopolitical and media movements; and Movements,
parties and movement-parties. Key theories and empirical
trajectories of core movements, their central issues, debates and
impacts are covered, with a focus on how these have influenced and
been influenced by their European context. Democracy, and how
social movements understand it, renew it, or undermine it, forms a
core thread that runs through the book. Written in a clear and
direct style, the Handbook provides a key resource for students and
scholars hoping to understand the key debates and innovations
unfolding in the heart of European social movements and how these
affect broader debates on such areas as democracy, human rights,
the right to the city, feminism, neoliberalism, nationalism,
migration and European values, identity and politics. Extensive
references and sources will direct readers to areas of further
study.
