The Pandemic is a battlefield. Social movements in the COVID-19 lockdown

Geoffrey Pleyers · 6 Aug 2020

This article examines ways in which social movements have been impacted and responded in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Social capital, voluntary associations and collective action: Which aspects of social capital have the greatest ‘civic’ payoff?

It then proffers a third way:…

The ‘Bubbling Up’ of Subterranean Politics in Europe

Mary Kaldor, Sabine Selchow · 1 Apr 2013

This article presents the findings of a collaborative research project involving seven field teams across Europe investigating a range of new political phenomena termed ‘subterranean politics’. The article argues that the social mobilizations and collective activities in 2011 and 2012 were probably less joined up, more heterogeneous, and, perhaps, even, smaller, than similar phenomena during…
