Abstract
In this chapter, the results of the country cases are systematically compared in light of the hypotheses put forward in the introductory chapter. First of all, we assess in each country the characteristics of the anti-austerity protests—looking at their social base, framing, organizational forms and repertoire of actions. Second, we introduce and analyse systematic data on the socio-economic disruptiveness as well as the political consequences of the crisis. Finally, we discuss further potentials for analytic models that aim at bridging social movement studies and political economy, bringing capitalism back into the analysis of contentious politics.
