Barcelona, the Left and the Independence Movement in Catalonia: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Barcelona, the Left and the Independence Movement in Catalonia" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Created by social movement activists and left-wing parties during years of austerity, Barcelona en Com, or the Comuns (as they are known in Catalan), won control of the city council of Barcelona in May 2015. The ensuing municipal government gave the city its first ever female mayor in the form of former housing rights campaigner Ada Colau. The Comuns administration proceeded to undertake ambitious initiatives, attempting to regenerate democracy by changing the relationship between municipal authority and citizen, addressing social inequality issues and seeking to curb the hitherto unbridled tourist expansion in the name of improving the environment for those who live in the Catalan capital.This book examines the extent to which the political project of the Comuns has brought radical change in Barcelona, where it has faced opposition from revolutionary anti-capitalists, traditional Catalan nationalists andindependentistas, as well as conservative political and economic forces. It also considers the Comuns relationship to Podemos and their prospects of growing beyond the city, in the metropolitan area of Barcelona and across Catalonia.

Barcelona, the Left and the Independence Movement in Catalonia

Barcelona, the Left and the Independence Movement in Catalonia examines the extent to which the political project of the Comuns has brought radical change in Barcelona, where it has faced opposition from revolutionary anti-capitalists, traditional Catalan nationalists and independentistas, as well as conservative political and economic forces. It also considers the Comuns relationship to Podemos and their prospects of growing beyond the city, in the metropolitan area of Barcelona and across Catalonia.

Richard Gillespie is Emeritus Professor of Politics at the University of Liverpool. Before being appointed to the Chair in Politics at the University of Liverpool in 2000, he held posts at the universities of Newcastle, Portsmouth, Warwick and Oxford. His ongoing research interests centre around movements seeking national independence for non-sovereign regions within EU member states, particularly Catalonia.

Europa Country Perspectives

The Europa Country Perspectives series, from Routledge, examines a wide range of contemporary political, economic, developmental and social issues from areas around the world. Complementing the Europa Regional Surveys of the World series, Europa Country Perspectives is a valuable resource for academics, students, researchers, policymakers, business people and anyone with an interest in current world affairs.

While the Europa World Year Book and its associated Regional Surveys inform on and analyse contemporary economic, political and social developments at the national and regional level, Country Perspectives provide in-depth, country-specific volumes written or edited by specialists in their field, delving into a countrys particular situation. Volumes in the series are not constrained by any particular template, but may explore a countrys recent political, economic, international relations, social, defence, or other issues in order to increase understanding.

In terms of the Catalan context, this book has some foundations in an earlier project on pro-sovereignty politics, but the more focused research has been undertaken since the radical municipalist platform Barcelona en Com was elected in 2015. While newspapers (including El Pas, El Peridico, La Vanguardia, Ara and Pblico) have been used to track the development of the subject chronologically, it has been interviews with political leaders, activists and some fellow researchers that have contributed to the books main insights, and it is to them that I am most deeply indebted.

For support and encouragement, I wish also to thank Jos Magone, Keith Salmon, Paul Kennedy, Esther Barb, Oriol Bartomeus, Mnica Hernndez, Caroline Gray, and especially the Europa commissioning editor, Cathy Hartley. Finally, my thanks go to my wife Mara Elena who accompanied me on all the research visits to Barcelona and provided invaluable support throughout, not least in relation to interview organization and logistics.
