(2) In what ways are they disrupting the institutions and structures that reproduce the political economic order? (3) To what extent can we observe resistance(s) that are creating something new within and against this?' (p. 1). These are the important questions posed and addressed by 'Austerity and Working-Class resistance: survival, disruption and creation in hard times'.

It arose from a series of workshops hosted by the Centre for Urban Research on Austerity (CURA) at de Montfort University.
