Municipalism as a democratic radicalization of the territory. A critical historical analysis of contemporary experiences of local governance

Abstract

The economic crisis of 2008 has generated an organic crisis that questions the foundations of the constitutional regime of 1978, rooted in an authoritarian logic of the Spanish State of the 19th century and the absolutism that it has never abandoned, giving rise to political initiatives of a municipal nature with immediate roots in social mobilizations originated in the 15M and various processes of social mobilization such as the so-called procés. The general objective of this research will consist of a critical interpretation based on the principles of disruptive critical political economy where to present the genesis of the municipal logic. To do this, we will focus on the analysis of these proposals that have come to constitute determining actors in the constitution of new local governments through the review and selection of bibliographic references related to the study of the different theoretical approaches regarding municipalism
