Emotions and climate strike participation among young and old demonstrators
Research shows that anger triggers participation in social movements, while fear inhibits action. Therefore, fear is less likely to contribute to citizens’ engagement in protest. However, in the case of climate change, fear may play a distinct role and thus contribute to participation. Given the long-term consequences of climate change, we argue that it triggers different emotions across disparate age groups. We investigate the extent to which yo…
The gender gap in pro‐environmental political participation among older adults
Citizens are increasingly concerned with environmental issues and some of them take contentious political actions or adapt their lifestyles to reduce their environmental footprint. Research finds that there is an eco‐gender gap in everyday environmental behaviours, with women more active than men. However, studies of the eco‐gender gap have infrequently looked at other forms of pro‐environmental political behaviours and focused mostly on young pe…
Les épiceries participatives: Une contre-culture inclusive offrant une alternative à la consommation de masse
Dans les épiceries participatives, les consommateurs participent aux prises de décision et au travail quotidien dans un modèle qui cherche à expérimenter des alternatives à la consommation de masse. Toutefois, ce type de projet réunit principalement des individus à forts capitaux sociaux, économiques et culturels. Nous utilisons le concept de contre-culture pour analyser à la fois les discours, les pratiques et la composition sociale d’une épicer…
A field of alternative food organizations: A study of discourses, actions and goals toward food system change in Geneva, Switzerland
While there is an abundant literature on alternative food organizations (AFOs), this research mostly consists of studies focusing on single types of food organizations. Hence, we lack a more encompassing understanding of how different types of AFOs are connected and what their collective transformative potential is within the food regime. In this article, we analyze how AFOs build a field, bring about social change collectively, and examine towar…
Protest Event Analysis: Developing a Semiautomated NLP Approach
Protest event analysis is a key method to study social movements, allowing to systematically analyze protest events over time and space. However, the manual coding of protest events is time-consuming and resource intensive. Recently, advances in automated approaches offer opportunities to code multiple sources and create large data sets that span many countries and years. However, too often the procedures used are not discussed in details and, th…
Political consumerism and food activism
This chapter first discusses political consumerism and highlights its relationship to the market. It then introduces the concept of market-based activism to distinguish different modes of action that operate within markets. Market-based activism includes political consumerism (buying and refusing to buy products for political reasons), food collectives (e.g., community-supported agriculture, participatory supermarkets), and lifestyle activism (wh…
Challenging Climate Strikers' Youthfulness: The Evolution of the Generational Gap in Environmental Attitudes Since 1999
In 2019, youth took to the street to express their fears and ambitions in relation to climate change. Alongside, many adult and senior citizens expressed their solidarity. While the media present environmental issues as being generationally dividing, we know little about potential differences between generations in terms of environmental attitudes. In this paper, we analyze data collected in the framework of street demonstrations in Switzerland a…
Bailouts, Austerity, and Protest: Representative Democracy and Policy-Making in Times of Austerity
In the Great Recession, sovereign bailouts were deemed necessary to alleviate the stress of indebted countries. These bailouts contained some of the most contentious policies, including austerity, structural reforms, and privatizations that triggered sharp bursts of protest during the Great Recession. In this chapter, we examine the impact of those particular political events on protest within this period, aiming to assess their impact and explor…

Food Activism and Citizens’ Democratic Engagements: What Can We Learn from Market-Based Political Participation
Food democracy calls for a democratization of the production, distribution, and consumption of food. Researchers and lay citizens are showing a growing interest for initiatives associated with food democracy, yet the specific democratic ideals and involvements that make up food democracy have gained limited attention. Many forms of participation associated with food democracy are market-based, such as buying organic food or joining community-supp…
How Do Ordinary Swiss People Represent and Engage with Environmental Issues? Grappling with Cultural Repertoires
This paper studies how ordinary people in Switzerland represent and engage with environmental issues in daily practices. Bringing together conceptual developments in cultural sociology and social practice theory, the paper argues that cultural repertoires strongly shape how representations and forms of engagement play out. It identifies two main repertoires of social and environmental change: adaptation and transformation. The adaptation repertoi…
The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Social Movements
In this chapter, we review the literature on social-movements and political parties interactions. We propose a research agenda that conceptualizes and empirically studies how movement-party interactions vary quantitatively and qualitatively under conditions of functioning representative linkages and crisis of representation.

Disclaiming national representatives: Protest waves in Southern Europe during the crisis
The Eurozone crisis triggered deep political dissent in Southern Europe. As the crisis unfolded, citizens took massively to the streets in attempts to prevent austerity policies but also to call for more democracy. We analyze protest waves in four Southern European countries: Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Spain. We argue that protest events are reactions to austerity measures when austerity is the only game in town. Hence, we test the effects of e…
Jobless Citizens: Political Engagement of the Young Unemployed
This book examines patterns of political engagement of long-term unemployed youth. The authors show how unemployment affects the personal, social, and political life of young people. Focusing on the c
Half a Loaf Is (Not) Better Than None: How Austerity-Related Grievances and Emotions Triggered Protests in Spain
Demonstrations have become more visible across Europe since the Great Recession. To clarify the connection between crisis and protest, we open the black box of crisis-related grievances, suggesting a typology for this subjective phenomenon and addressing the mediating role of emotions on protest. Using panel data, we explore the dimensionality of thirty different items that Spanish citizens have claimed to endure as a consequence of the crisis, a…
Gender ideology: The last barrier to women’s participation in political consumerism
In this article, we analyze how gender affects women’s political participation. More specifically, we test the effect of gender ideology on young women’s participation in political consumerism. The current literature suggests different reasons to explain the gap in political participation between men and women, most importantly focusing on socioeconomic resources, gender roles, and political socialization, whereas little attention has been devote…
Employment Status, Social Capital, and Political Participation: A Comparison of Unemployed and Employed Youth in Geneva
This paper examines the relationships between employment status, social capital, and the participation of young people in different kinds of political activities such as contacting, consumer, and protest activities. We focus on the role of social capital for political participation, addressing three related questions: Do unemployed and employed youth display different levels of social capital and political participation? Does social capital favor…
