Riassunto

This timely book addresses the wave of recent anti-austerity social movements mobilizing in the context of a crisis of neoliberalism. Della Porta shows that we need to look at the specific characteristics of the socioeconomic, cultural and political context in which such movements have developed in order to understand this key issue of our times.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

"This book, written by one of the foremost theorists of social movements, offers a new way to theorise the complex conjuncture of late neo-liberalism, a 'precariat' that includes the young and educated. and a legitimacy crisis of our political institutions and how this plays out in the squares of Europe, America and the Middle East."
Mary Kaldor, The London School of Economics
 
"Scholars of social movements have largely ignored capitalism in recent years, but Donatella della Porta shows how a crisis of neoliberal capitalism has provided the main motives and solidarities for recent protests against economic austerity and political corruption. Hers is a very important and original attempt to bridge political economy and contentious politics."
Jeff Goodwin, New York University
