The past decade saw new forms of protest in public squares around the world: from Zuccotti Park
to Maidan from the Yellow Vests' roundabout occupations to the Querdenker anti-lockdown
protests. The performative enactment of an unredeemed 'people' reclaiming its rightful
sovereignty in such locations suggests intersections with both populism-whose meteoric rise
also defined the decade-as well as new forms of political organisation that emerged in the wake
of the post-2010 protest wave from 'digital parties' to 'movement parties'. This edited volume
explores these intersections and the manifold tensions underlying them drawing on numerous
theoretical approaches and case studies ranging from South America to Southern Europe. With
