Social movement impact on democracy has primarily been treated in two ways in
the literature: the role of social movements in promoting democratization in the
form of regime change; and a more recent literature on the ways social
movements initiate democratic innovation in governing institutions and norm
diffusion in already existing democracy. In this article, we argue that to fully
understand social movement impact on democracy, we need to look beyond these
two main approaches, as important as they are. Using the emblematic case of
Spain’s 15-M pro-democracy movement to illustrate our conceptual proposal, we
draw on existing literature to argue that social movements can impact democracy
in several key arenas currently not sufficiently considered in the literature. We
provide examples of democratic impact emerging from the experimentation
around the central problematic of “real democracy” in the “occupied squares” to
highlight several ways social movements’ democratic impact might be explored.
We develop the concepts of hybridity and democratic laboratory to analyze these
impacts and discuss their relation to contemporary theorizing about democracy
and movement outcomes. We argue that adopting this broader approach to the
democratic impact of social movements leads to a more nuanced understanding of
movement outcomes and “success”. [-]
