“…Such a train of thought, although relatable to the Eastern Europe experience of mass privatization during democracy transition (Magnin & Nenovsky, 2022;Marandici, 2021;Gabrisch, 2020;Ghodsee, 2019), surprised international audiences accustomed to shape their discontent with current social and economic issues by blaming the institutional state and its enablers. A growing body of research reflects the biased neoliberal framing of private actors as just and competent warriors, politically sanitized, who are fighting the corrupt, incompetent political state.…”

Anti-austerity protests revived anti- and post-hegemonic sociopolitical imaginary, around the word. In Spain, 15M movement built the premises for political projects based on direct democracy and horizontal models of social organization, as defining features of the new muncipalists who won 2015 elections in several cities. The case of Madrid has revelatory value in the debate regarding outcomes of participatory innovations, as the alliance which pioneered digital democracy and multi-actor multi-level local governance lost elections of 2019. Although a relatively large body of research investigated the feasibility of democratic innovations by contrasting their designs and implementation processes onto the matrix of their objectives and underlying ideological principles, the literature explaining their outcomes is scarce. Few studies focus on factors modeling the sustainability of participatory democracy as city regime, and the most common approach stresses out neoliberal inhibitors, as structural breaks which limit the depth and quality of participation. The present study aims to contribute to filling this gap by extending the analytical framework to encompass factors related to horizontalism, as enablers of democracy innovations. It is concluded that while horizontal governance works as a spillover of inclusive participation, it is highly vulnerable to attacks designed to vertically restructure its working processes.

This paper asks whether Poland's populism is evidence of a countermovement to European neoliberal political economy. The electoral success of PiS's 500+ child benefit policy appears to indicate that state intervention in the form of solidarism is a legitimate response to neoliberalism. The paper argues against this, instead taking domification as a starting point of analysis it interprets 500+ as a way to co-opt particular social forces to accept the promotion of neoliberal competitiveness in Poland. What at first appears to be a progressive alternative, is in reality a contribution to further commodification enabling the social reproduction of neoliberalism.
