Party Organisation after the Square Movements in Europe examines the party-political afterlives of the post-2010/11 movements of the squares through a comparative lens. Spanning a wide range of party projects from the radical left to the far right, it traces new forms of party organisation that emerged in response to major square protests in six European countries: 15-M/Indignados in Spain, Aganaktismenoi in Greece, 'For fair elections' in Russia, Euromaidan in Ukraine, PEGIDA in Germany and Yellow Vests in France. The book develops an original framework of discursive–organisational analysis (DOA) based on post-foundational discourse analysis following Laclau and Mouffe.
Drawing on the analytical vocabulary of horizontalism and verticalism, the book develops a cross-national typology of post-squares party forms along the overarching classificatory dimension of horizontalism/verticalism. The party types within this classificatory scheme range from movement parties as a paradigmatically horizontalist form of party organisation to leader-centred digital parties such as Podemos and France Insoumise.
