ABSTRACT
This chapter turns to the second process pivotal for mobilization. In addition to existing actors reorienting their focus in response to the crisis, the occupations since 2010 politicized a new generation of actors, many of whom started to identify debt as a pivotal field of politics during or after the acampadas. I embed this analysis within a broader study of three processes following the (understudied) demobilization of the squares. Finally, the chapter discusses concepts from social movement studies to discern the different organizational repertoires by the three different cases. I close by introducing the twin concepts of debtors’ club for a group of indebted states and debtors’ union for a collective of indebted individuals.
