New and Alternative Social Movements in Spain: The Left, Identity and Globalizing Processes: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "New and Alternative Social Movements in Spain: The Left, Identity and Globalizing Processes" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This collection offers a diachronic analytical study of new and alternative social movements in Spain from the democratic transition to the first decade of the 21st century, paying attention to anti-war mobilizations and the use of new technologies as a mobilizing resource. New and alternative social movements are studied through the prism of identified linkages among the left, movement identities and global processes in the Spanish context. Weight is given to certain important historical aspects, like Spains relatively recent authoritarian past, and certain value-added factors, such as the weak associationalism and materialism exhibited by the Spanish public. These are complemented by exploring insights offered by key theoretical approaches on social movements (political opportunities structures, resource mobilization). The volume covers established social movement cases (gender, peace, environmental movements) as well as those with a more explicit connection to the current context of global contestation (squatters and anti-globalization movements).

South European Society and Politics series

Series editors:
Susannah Verney, University of Athens, Greece Anna Bosco, University of Trieste, Italy

The parallel regime transitions of the 1970s, when Southern Europe was the vanguard of the third wave of democratisation, the impact of EU membership and Europeanisation and more recently, the regions central role in the eurozone crisis have all made Southern Europe a distinctive area of interest for social science scholars. The South European Society and Politics book series promotes new empirical research into the domestic politics and society of South European states. The series, open to a broad range of social science approaches, offers comparative thematic volumes covering the region as a whole and on occasion, innovative single-country studies. Its geographical scope includes both old and new Southern Europe, defined as Italy, Greece, Portugal, Spain, Cyprus, Malta and Turkey.
