FONSECA, Dora. The 12th March mobilization in Portugal: social movement or “explosion”? Actors, processes and consequences. Sociologia [online]. 2012, vol.24, pp.113-131. ISSN 0872-3419.

In the context of contemporary societies we are dealing with an intense emergence and proliferation of social mobilizations of every kind, which are a consequence of the great dissemination of the neoliberal program. Many of them are social movements, but others are not. The concept of social movement has been expanded and therefore a specific and careful analysis is needed before its application. Our aim is to evaluate the possibilities of application of Charles Tilly’s social movement concept to the 12th March mobilization. This task will be based on the field work of an on-going research.
