Description
Summary:The geographical and political diversity of the colour-coded revolutions in the post-Soviet sphere, the Arab revolutions or the "Indignados" (the indignant ones) movement and their different destinies should not conceal what they all share: the actors call for another way of producing politics and policies with the invention of forms of action which challenge hierarchies and structures and are not based on a clear alternative ideology. It is not only a question of confronting democracy and authoritarianism, but of re-inventing democracy. In this sense, it can be considered that these movements all belong to the same historical rupture and are set in a new paradigm.
