Protest is not randomly distributed over time but concentrates in the form of cycles. The last three major international cycles of protest have been those surrounding 1968, the global justice movement at the turn of the millennium and the recent mobilization for democracy and against austerity from 2010. This article analyzes the continuities between these protest cycles, focusing on the cultural impact of social movements through the development and diffusion of new concepts of democracy.
