Abstract
- To what extent, among progressive social movements, has critical Europeanism ceded terrain to Euroscepticism, including within this alter-European vision, is a central question this article seeks to address. After summarizing the theoretical debate on Europeanization and social movements (part 2), the article looks at three main sets of frames. As far as the diagnostic framing is concerned, in comparison with the period of the ESF, the critiques of the existing European politics and policies became even more acute (part 3). Looking at the prognostic framing, part 4 of this article points however to the lack of a generalized request for a return to the nation states, with rather the search for an alternative formula. Even if the closing down of political opportunities is reflected in the diagnostic frames, the prognostic frames single out the solutions in the transformation of European institutions, rather than in their demise. At the motivational level, addressed in part 5 of this article, the progressive social movements still see themselves as main engine of these transformations, even if acknowledging the difficulties in transnational mobilization.
