Abstract
This chapter investigates the organising processes and discursive articulations
enabling or translating the ‘passage from the social to the political’. It shows
how social movements in three settings have developed from bottom-up social
platforms to establishing a type of political party. The authors investigate how a
new type of political party creates new articulations in the space between the
social and political arenas, and attempts to re-politicize the political arena and
challenge existing political regimes. In the chapter, they look at recently
established parties in Slovenia (Initiative for Democratic Socialism), Spain (Podemos) and the UK (Left Unity).
