Routledge - Crisis and Social Mobilization in Contemporary Spain

Explore the profound impact of the 15M movement through this academic study from Routledge. As part of The Mobilization Series on Social Movements, Protest, and Culture, this book examines the massive waves of indignation that began in 2011. It tracks how these protests spread from the Arab Spring and Europe to movements like Occupy Wall Street, highlighting the specific role of the Spanish 15M in the global spread of protest. This volume provides a detailed analysis of the factors that allowed the 15M to become a major force for international mobilization. It looks at how the movement achieved high levels of domestic support by bridging traditional socio-economic and politico-ideological divides in Spain. Readers will gain insights into the movement's gradual decline and its lasting influence on the political landscape. This is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in sociology, anthropology, and the dynamics of modern social movements.
