A Year of Social Movements in Italy: From the "No TAVS" to the Five Star Movement

Abstract

It's been five years since the beginning of the crisis, and the movements that arose as a response [to it] have not yet come together. Florence is the place for a fresh start in order to share, at the European level, an appraisal of what happened, that is, the bottom-up experience, and the proposals on how to make Europe change its route. Democracy, austerity , debt, common goods, employment, social rights, peace and conflicts , mobilization-these are the themes at the core of the discussion. 1
