Description

To analyse and understand the ways in which it is possible for a decentralised and polycentric movement such as Barcelona en Comù to be voted at institutional level, D-CENT partners IN3 15M Data Analysis Group and Barcelona Media conducted the recently published research ‘When a Movement Becomes a Party: The 2015 Barcelona City Council Election’.

The research aims to investigate the reality of maintaining an open and decentralised structure of the social movement during election campaigns to counter the arguments and previously advanced hypotheses that during the competitive time of elections centralisation is inevitable.
