  1. Activism and Civil Society: Broadening Participation and Deepening Democracy.Paul Dekker & Ramón A. Feenstra - 2015 - Recerca.Revista de Pensament I Anàlisi 17:7-13.

L’any 2006 apareix arreu de l’Estat un nou moviment social diferenciat, el moviment per l’habitatge. Aquest moviment organitzà joves d’arreu de l’Estat espanyol i, els anys posteriors, consolidà centenars de plataformes d’afectats per les hipoteques de totes les edats.
