ABSTRACT

This chapter aims directly at verifying the empirical effectiveness of the current explanatory frameworks which put forward a culture of political violence as an explaining indicator of beings, phenomena, processes, and their configurations. It leads us to the modification and extensions of the existing models identified in the extensive literature review. The empirical study contributes to the field mainly by theory-verification attempts. This chapter addresses the last research problem of to what extent current explanatory frameworks account for the results of patterns of a culture of political violence of the post-2008 anti-austerity movements that acted in the Eurozone.
