Summary

Finally, chapter 8 summarizes the main findings of the book and draws the main lessons from the analyses of participants in demonstrations for the present and future of protest politics. It goes back to the issues discussed in the introduction and reassess them based on the book’s findings. In particular, we discuss the role of left-wing protest politics in the age of globalization. Who are the demonstrators today? What do they want? Do they proactively pursue objectives of political change and social transformation or are they more reactively responding to certain threats? We also discuss the relationship between protest politics and institutional politics. We end with a reflection about the future or protest politics in Europe.
