The rise of movement parties challenges simplistic expectations of a growing separation between institutional and contentious politics and the decline of the left. Their return demands attention as a way of understanding both contemporary socio-political dynamics and the fundamentals of political parties and representation.
Bridging social movement and party politics studies, within a broad concern with democratic theories, this volume presents new empirical evidence and conceptual insight into these topical socio-political phenomena, within a cross-national comparative perspective.
Questo volume è indirizzato a tutti coloro che si interessano di comunicazione politica online e intende proporsi come un’introduzione al tema per studenti e studiosi di scienze della comunicazione, sociologia e scienza politica.
Mentre in tutte le democrazie occidentali si assiste a un processo di ridefinizione profonda delle pratiche di partecipazione politica e civica, i media digitali stanno modificando i modi con cui i cittadini si informano ed entrano in contatto con istituzioni, partiti e movimenti e sembrano offrire loro nuove opportunità per far sentire la propria voce. Quali sono allora le modalità attraverso cui si sviluppa la partecipazione online, quali gruppi e organizzazioni se ne avvantaggiano
maggiormente e con quali conseguenze per la sfera pubblica, la rappresentanza e la democrazia?
Grazie all’apporto di alcuni tra gli studiosi nazionali e internazionali più attenti, il volume risponde a queste domande mediante un solido inquadramento teorico e una serie di importanti contributi di ricerca empirica. In primo luogo si effettua una ricognizione approfondita del contesto sociale e tecnologico che definisce le coordinate della politica online, illustrando le
trasformazioni della sfera pubblica e della democrazia nella postmodernità e proponendo un’analisi empirica comparata della diffusione dell’uso di internet nell’Unione Europea. Si analizzano poi le modalità della partecipazione politica online degli italiani attraverso studi quantitativi e qualitativi, soffermandosi su alcuni studi di caso di particolare rilevanza: da MoveOn.org alle modalità con cui il Parlamento si rapporta con i cittadini attraverso internet; dalle mobilitazioni del Popolo Viola alle iniziative del Movimento 5 stelle.
I saggi integrano metodologie quantitative, qualitative e comparative e approfondiscono diversi aspetti della partecipazione online, fonte di sfida e influenza nei confronti delle istituzioni democratiche e fattore di adattamento delle stesse, fornendo così un contributo rilevante al dibattito sulle forme e sulle dinamiche della politica online. Il volume intende dunque evidenziare le trasformazioni in atto nelle formule organizzative, nelle identità e nelle forme d’azione dei soggetti della partecipazione politica.
This is the first book we know of on the World Social Forum process that specifically addresses a nonspecialist U.S. audience
Many of the book’s authors are well-known experts in the fields this book addresses
The book’s multiple authors have participated in all of the World Social Forums and in many regional and local ones, offering a unique approach to analyzing this major global phenomenon
The World Social Forum is the most happening event on the planet and Americans are just starting to learn about it
This is a perfect handbook for those interested in social activism in the contemporary world
Leading scholars wrote this book for a general readership including activists and students to alert them to the World Social Forum, currently the most significant global political event
Presenting the first systematic empirical research on the global justice movement, Globalization from Below analyzes a movement from the viewpoints of the activists, organizers, and demonstrators themselves. The authors traveled to Genoa with anti-G8 protesters and collected data from more than 800 participants. They examine the interactions between challengers and elites, and discuss how new models of activism fit into current social movement work.
The book represents a thorough and thoughtful account about how this movement has operated, and how it reflects well-established theoretical thinking about social movements. It is indisputable that the global movement is one of the most important political developments of our time. Anyone who studies social movements, protest, democracy, and governance cannot afford to be uninformed about his movement. Thus, the empirical account of these important protest sequences, which helped to proved the fundamental definition, identity, and agenda for this movement, is invaluable in its own right. Furthermore, the creative use of data to examine the development and adoption of frames is a worthy example for others, and the elaboration of ideas about protest control is informative and stimulating.

El movimiento antiliberal se encuentra operando en un sistema extremadamente complicado en el cual no sólo los lugares, sino también los actores que asumen decisiones importantes son múltiples o actúan en esferas distintas y sobre niveles territoriales diferentes. Por lo tanto, los movimientos buscan individuar distintas estrategias, para tener una mayor probabilidad en la obtención de resultados. Pero, ¿cuáles son las reacciones puestas en acción por los movimientos sociales transnacionales para reaccionar a los nuevos desafíos que se manifiestan en el nivel económico, político y cultural? Como se argumenta en este capítulo, los movimientos reaccionan entretejiendo una multiplicidad de estrategias: desde los boicots, pasando por la organización de contravértices, hasta la creación de instrumentos propios de información y comunicación alternativa.
