ABSTRACT Social movement impact on democracy has primarily been treated in two ways in the literature: the role of social movements in promoting democratization in the form of regime change; and a more recent literature on the ways social movements initiate democratic innovation in governing institutions and norm diffusion in already existing democracy. In this article, we argue that to fully understand social movement impact on democracy, we need to look beyond these two main approaches, as important as they are. Using the emblematic case of Spain’s 15-M pro-democracy movement to illustrate our conceptual proposal, we draw on existing literature to argue that social movements can impact democracy in several key arenas currently not sufficiently considered in the literature. We provide examples of democratic impact emerging from the experimentation around the central problematic of ‘real democracy’ in the ‘occupied squares’ to highlight several ways social movements’ democratic impact might be explored. We develop the concepts of hybridity and democratic laboratory to analyze these impacts and discuss their relation to contemporary theorizing about democracy and movement outcomes. We argue that adopting this broader approach to the democratic impact of social movements leads to a more nuanced understanding of movement outcomes and ‘success’.

book avoids the terms ‘right-wing’ and ‘left-wing’ populism. Instead, it labels negative types of populism as ‘exclusive’, ‘nativist’, or ‘disruptive’, while positive forms of populism as ‘inclusive’ or ‘constructive’. However, most case studies illustrate only the negative types and effects of populism, most notably, polarization and undermining institutions of the civil sphere. This is well explained in the case of Erdogan (Chapter 3), Kaczynski (Chapter 5), or the Sweden Democrats (chapter 8). Civil repair appears only as a reaction to populism. Binder argues in Chapter 7 that the rise of the AfD in Germany triggered a response from civil society organizations and gave impetus to the Green Party, resulting in the strengthening of civil solidarity. Botello introduces a similar case in Mexico, where civil repair is also the result of reactions and resistance to the populist endeavor, albeit a left-wing one. A few undoubtedly positive examples would have given stronger support to the theoretical claims. In addition to the fact that it is easier to find negative examples, the problem seems to be that differentiating between positive and negative populism is not always easy. The Commentary, a short chapter before the Conclusion, tries to provide some help to overcome this problem. Tognato argues that differentiation is difficult because negative populism uses the language of civil solidarity (civil mimicry), and both types of populism use similar tactics, such as appropriation, or re-framing (inverting) the civil and non-civil. Tognato concludes, that differentiating between the two types of populism is a task for a civil cultural critique of populism. Overall, the book is highly informative and thought-provoking for readers of cultural sociology, students of political sociology, and discourse analysis, whether they are interested in populism, or the broader topic of political discourses. The attempt to tie case studies to the CST is beneficial, although future research would benefit from applying the CST in crosscountry comparisons.
