This volume seeks to present a broad, critical account of contemporary Spain, with a special emphasis on recent and emerging forms of sociopolitical mobilization and democratic participation at various levels. Bringing together a representative sample of some of Spain’s most salient progressive voices (including two of the five professors who founded the political party Podemos), this book contributes to the principal debates being waged on the Left today, both in Spain and beyond. With a special emphasis on recent and emerging forms of sociopolitical mobilization and democratic participation at various levels, contributors analyze six key areas: political crisis, economic failure, environmental crossroads, media control, social mobilization, and culture in transition.weiterlesen
