Abstract
This chapter addresses the third phase of the crisis, as resistance to austerity and the new authoritarian neoliberalism swelled. It examines the successes and failures of these resistance movements, arguing that efforts directed at more traditional democratic channels have proven ineffectual. The political classes have, instead, only sought to further institute constitutional and legal changes to protect policymaking from social conflict.
