“…In Portugal this is significant because domestic protests tended to show no particular European dimension. Instead, protesters targeted the winding back of social provisions won in the 1974 revolution, education reforms and environmental issues (Vestena, 2019;Accornero and Ramos Pinto, 2015).…”

This article examines Irish and Portuguese protesters' perceptions of the EU in the decade since the European debt crisis. Building on EU politics, social movement and protest literatures, we ask how domestic protesters in both countries perceive the EU during its age of crisis protest timescape. We find that critical Europeanism, which rejects technocratic and neoliberal Europe and works towards an alternative, social Europe, has travelled beyond austerity/bailout protests into women's rights and housing protests in both countries, although to varying degrees. We suggest that the expansion of critical European perceptions in these traditionally Europhile member states forms part of the social and political legacy of the European debt crisis, but also contributes to the continued Europeanization of the European social movement space. It could have positive impacts on the EU's legitimacy deficit if EU institutions engaged meaningfully with critical European voices.

“…1599 Rechtliche und politische Strategien zu synchronisieren ist aber dadurch erschwert, dass "Protestzyklen sozialer Bewegungen" anderen Dynamiken unterliegen als formalisierte Gerichtsverfahren. 1600 Gegen stra tegische Prozessführung könnte ferner der Einwand aus der Bewegungs forschung sprechen, dass Gerichtsverfahren Ressourcen für politische Mo bilisierung wie Protest oder Lobbyarbeit entzögen, weil sie die wenigen vorhandenen auf aufwendige Verfahren verwendeten. 1601 Nicht nur dem Hin-und Herwandern zwischen Recht und Politik, son dern auch der strategischen Nutzung juristischer Mobilisierungsregeln sind Grenzen gesetzt.…”

Strategische Prozessführung im Klagekollektiv

Changing the world in court – this is what strategic litigation is all about. In an interdisciplinary study, Lisa Hahn examines under which conditions such change can be achieved and why the collective mobilization of law is essential for this. Strategic litigation unites people in a litigation collective and thus contributes to overcoming individual barriers to access to justice. Lisa Hahn reaches this conclusion by drawing on legal mobilization theory, through a historical reconstruction of seminal court cases and by examining strategic litigation as an instrument for implementing the human right to access to justice. Empirical case studies on migration and surveillance provide unique insights into litigation collectives.

“…In certain cases, and depending on what procedural law allows, collective interests that are verbalised in social struggles can create a productive interplay between collective and juridical logic in a legal struggle. These interactions offer inspiration for progressive interpretations of the law by courts, which in turn revitalise their collective mobilisation (Vestena, 2019(Vestena, , 2022.…”

Social movements, NGOs and other political actors often mobilise the law for social change. Strategic litigation and collective legal mobilisation can be key instruments to face current political challenges like the climate crisis, human rights violations against refugees or the exploitation of workers along global supply chains. Although these struggles are framed by a societal context and have impacts on the political and juridical fields, the literature about legal mobilisation still does not decidedly engage with a social-theory-based perspective on such struggles. By developing the concept of legal struggles, the article proposes a conceptual framework to analyse both the ambivalence and the emancipatory potential of progressive struggles in the juridical field. Critical Theory, Materialist Theory and the Theory of Social Fields by Pierre Bourdieu are combined to investigate the specific form of collective legal struggles carried out in this arena. We examine repertoires and strategies of collective actors as well as the emancipatory potential of these mobilisation strategies. Our conclusions point to the structural distinctions and selectivities which define the juridical field in capitalist societies and also the conditions of possibility of political struggles using the law.
