Social change, protest and participation in Greece, Portugal and Spain
This article surveys and compares recent research on protest and transitions in Spain, Portugal and Greece. It charts how this body of work has paid increasing attention to questions of gender, culture, race and sexuality; to the interaction between multiple actors, and to the role of transnational processes. It also shows how each national historiography has developed different concerns and approaches: culture, identities and the post-transition…

"Revisiting the "Great Levelling: The limits of Piketty'sCapital and Ideologyfor understanding the rise of late 20th century inequality
In Capital and Ideology, Thomas Piketty returns to questions of historical inequality, not merely to fill in the gaps in the earlier, widely circulated and impactful Capital in the 21st Century, but to undertake a far more ambitious and nuanced project. Critics (Bhambra & Holmwood, 2018; Moeller, 2016) pointed out that in the previous book, Piketty's consideration of the role of high concentrations wealth on inequality focused largely on a handfu…
Introduction: Measuring Matters
In September 2011, protesters occupied a park in New York’s financial district. The Occupy Wall Street movement, spreading over many cities and several countries over that winter, made inequality its banner and did much to bring the issue to the foreground of public debate. Through a sophisticated combination of age-old protest tactics and social media use, Occupy denounced the injustice of the accumulation of riches and power by a small and unac…

The Impact of History: Histories at the Beginning of the 21st Century
History Manifested: A Commentary on continuity, disruption and the production of history
The author responds to the essay entitled "History manifested: making sense of unprecedented change" by Zoltán Boldizsár Simon, which is presented within this issue. He considers the review of the books "The History Manifesto" by Jo Guldi and David Armitage and "The Practical Past" by Hayden White. It explores aspects of the philosophy of history and historiography
Mild Mannered’? Protest and Mobilisation in Portugal under Austerity, 2010–2013
Anti-austerity mobilisations in Southern Europe since 2010 have been widely debated in recent times. Commentators have emphasised the emergence of new political subjects such as the 'precariat' organised into loose, IT-connected movements. To what extent do these portrayals reflect the underlying dynamics of this protest cycle, and how do these movements interact with traditional political actors? Using Portugal as a case study, this article maps…

Understanding the New Politics of Welfare Reform: Preface
For some time, a sense of crisis has surrounded welfare states. Deregulatory pressures, sluggish economic growth, deindustrialisation of labour markets, rising unemployment, demographic ageing, declining birth rates and family restructuring are commonly listed among the most pressing challenges facing mature welfare regimes.Together, such challenges contribute to an explosive mix by simultaneously exerting pressure for increases in social welfare…
Housing and Citizenship: Building Social Rights in Twentieth-Century Portugal
This article investigates the origins of modern citizenship in Portugal through the example of the historical construction of housing as a social right. It argues this process owes much to the centralisation and strengthening of the state undertaken by Salazar's ‘New State’ (1933–74), whose transformative project changed the nature of the relationship between the governing and the governed, making political claims based on social rights plausible…
Urban Social Movements and the Transition to Democracy in Portugal, 1974–1976
This article examines the impact of the urban social movement active in Lisbon on the Portuguese transition to democracy (1974–6). Academic and public discourse over the last three decades has tended to characterize the movement either as an embryonic form of a participatory society, or an illusion created by the manipulation of a minority of activists. Conversely, this article argues that the movement was largely autonomous and powerful enough t…
