| Title | Zagreb - a node in the network of anti-capitalist moblization |
| Summary | This research is designed as ethnography on anti-government protests launched in Zagreb on February 28th, 2011 which eventually spread through the whole country and ended at the beginning of April 2011. The aim of this research is to answer what lies behind Zagreb’s protests and whether and how they were part of a global wave of anti-capitalist mobilizing. With the literature review and the methodological tools I used, namely participant observation, interviews and analysis of media discourse, I argue that we witness the birth of a new form of global anti-capitalist mobilizing and that Zagreb’s anti-government protests in spring 2011 were part of that broader story of the possible emergence of new anti-systemic movements. I also claim that protesters in Zagreb recognized the anti-systemic potential of their protests, but they did not realize it, and as a reason for that I see the strength of the ruling structures and consequently of ruling discourse in Croatia. |
