The book offers a fresh analysis of modern social movements within the context of globalization, blending theory with practical case studies. It explores diverse examples, including the Anonymous collective, 15-M/Indignados, and the Zapatista uprising, to illustrate the dynamics and impact of these movements on a global scale. By grounding its discussion in established social movement and globalization theories, it provides readers with a thorough understanding of contemporary activism and its implications.

In Democracy Reloaded, Cristina Flesher Fominaya tells the story of: Spain's Indignados or 15-M, one of the most influential social movements of recent times. In the wake of the global financial crisis and harsh austerity policies, 15-M movement activists occupied public squares across the country, mobilized millions of Spanish citizens, gave rise to new hybrid parties such as Podemos, and inspired pro-democracy movements around the world.
