“…ND protests challenging the presence and rights of the Roma have taken place in Timişoara each autumn since 2011. These protest gatherings enable the group to demonstrate the legitimacy of its claims by signifying what Tilly and Wood have called WUNC (worthiness, unity, numbers and commitment) (Tilly and Wood, ). The key claim presented during the rallies has been the need to challenge the ‘Roma mafia clans’ real estate’ and the blemished area of Piaţa Traian.…”

Post‐communist Central and Eastern Europe has seen far right movements and parties gain considerable ground by drawing on nativist and ethnic claims to call for a return to an imagined past. In Romania, far right groups have been able to capitalize on a sense of injustice while also playing on historically negative feelings towards the Roma community. These patterns have been observed in Timişoara, where the group Noua Dreaptă (New Right) has established a foothold over the past decade by emphasizing claims that blame the Roma for loss of built heritage and corruption in the administration of property restitution. The aims of this article are to examine the emergence of Noua Dreaptă and its use of Roma stigmatization, and to consider the ways in which extreme views are normalized by appealing to beliefs and perceptions. The findings of the article show that pre‐existing prejudices can be a powerful force that not only targets marginalized communities, but also challenges administrative practices and builds organizational support. At the level of the city, it is possible to identify the way in which these claims can be more precisely calibrated to draw on concerns that circulate within the community.

“…According to Tilly and Wood (2009), the strengthening of the state was a key element in generating this shift. This process happened in the context of deep political and economic changes, including war, parliamentarisation, capitalisation and proletarianisation (Tilly and Wood, 2009: 29).…”

This article opposes theoretical attempts to explain the Brazilian 2013 cycle of protests by fragmentation. It argues that the plurality of social actors engaged in those protests faced a field of contention deeply framed by autonomist practices, which allowed the aggregation of very different political views in an all-embracing political phenomenon. In addition, it suggests a broader change in the repertoire of contention that involves elements from the two historical periods discussed by Charles Tilly. Contemporary political contention gathers together the parochial and direct elements of the pre-social movements era with the broader and cosmopolitan elements of the social movements era.

“…NoN-TerriTorial auToNomy aS aN eNriCHmeNT oF rePreSeNTaTiVe demoCraCy │ 323 Despite these novelties that certainly widened the spectrum of research on social movements, scholarship on movements continues to suffer from limitations coming from an underlying assumption that social movements are social realities that exist only within and in relation to the signifying nation-state, mostly emerging from within claim makers embedded within the dominant nation. Charles Tilly for instance puts forward that the emergence of nation-states contributed to the formation of modern social movements and their repertoires of action, moving the sphere of protest from the local to the national level (Tilly and Wood 2009). While this helps conceptualizing movements as actors on a national level, the question arises how to conceptualize for instance movements that mobilize from within more than one nation-state yet neither reinstate dominant categories such as separatism or ethno-nationalism nor make direct claims on the nation-state level?…”

The Kurdish-led autonomous entity called Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (NES) - also known as Rojava - considers women?s liberation an imperative condition for shaping a democratic society. The practice of autonomy in NES shares strong resemblances with Non- Territorial Autonomy (NTA) models; however, it introduces a novelty in the role of women as active agents in building a plurinational democracy. This paper examines (1) the intellectual and political origins of the political role ascribed to women in autonomous administrations and (2) how the practice of autonomy in Rojava has advanced women?s rights by shedding light on both institutional implementation of women?s rights, as well as the creation of (non)-territorial spaces of women?s emancipation within the autonomous model. The argument made is that the conceptual framework of the Rojava model goes beyond the Kurdish question and can be considered an attempt to resolve a democratic deficit of liberal democratic nation-states through bringing together solutions that address the intertwined subordination of minorities and women.
