{"product_id":"9781509511495","title":"Movement Parties Against Austerity","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe ascendance of austerity policies and the protests they have generated have had a deep impact on the shape of contemporary politics. The stunning electoral successes of SYRIZA in Greece, Podemos in Spain and the Movimento 5 Stelle (M5S) in Italy, alongside the quest for a more radical left in countries such as the UK and the US, bear witness to a new wave of parties that draws inspiration and strength from social movements.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47174839828720,"sku":"9781509511495","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781509511495_p0.jpg?v=1763721691","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781509511495","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
