Power, Legitimacy, and Institutions in the October 2019 Uprising in Chile
The 2019 uprising in Chile was the outcome of an erosion of political arrangements and the politicization of popular unrest that developed over three decades. Two explanations for it-the political mobilization of the groups that emerged from the neoliberal reforms (the "new people" approach) and the mismatch between institutions and society (the "decoupling" approach)-can be reconciled by emphasizing the connections between elite and popular poli…

The Civil Sphere in Latin America
The Civil Sphere in Latin America presents a number of original case studies applying Jeffrey Alexander’s civil sphere theory (CST) to eight Latin American countries. This publication has to be seen in the context of a larger scholarly enterprise, namely, the theoretical and empirical advancement of CST beyond its traditional focus on North America and Europe
Introduction to special sub-section
The relationship between students and activism has long interested sociologists, especially since the wave of social unrest of 1968 (Barker, 2008). However, the works that have looked at the topic can hardly be identified as a coherent, clearly identifiable strand of the literature. Furthermore, scholarly attention has fluctuated over time, with researchers reacting to the course of events and especially to the waves of student protests. Attentio…
Student movements in the age of austerity. The cases of Chile and England
Several recent episodes of massive student protests in countries in Europe, Latin America, and Africa, raise the question of whether we are witnessing to a new surge of student protests. This profile offers an interpretation of the socio-economic and political processes that have caused contentious reactions among students, paying special attention to changes in the major characteristics of the higher education sector. In last decades, government…

Radical Social Movements in Western Europe
There has been little comparative research on the differences across radical social movements in the context of consolidated democracies. This paper analyses the squatting movement, as an exemplary case of contemporary radical movement. This study aims to identify the causal contexts that explain the differences of strengths within these movements across 52 large cities in Western Europe. It examines three main hypotheses drawn from the literatur…
Explaining differences in the strength of squatters’ movements in western European cities
Squatters occupy and restore empty buildings to establish self-managed social centres, where they put in practice alternative ways of living while engaging in various protest campaigns. Episodes of squatters’ activism have occurred in many European cities, including the ‘occupy’ movement and the demonstrations against austerity measures in several countries. Despite this trajectory, there is little comparative research on squatters’ movements. Th…
Understanding Conflict, Change and Power after the Financial Crisis
The most significant progress in the study of political conflict has been related to turmoil, insurrections and rebellions. Revolts against colonial powers in Africa, Asia o the Middle East, transitions to democracy and the struggles against dictatorships in Latin America or Southern Europe, guerrilla and insurrectionary movements in Asia or Central America, the fall of communism in Russia and Eastern Europe, or the sequence of demonstrations aga…
