DESCRIPTION:In 2011\, as a consequence of the Great Recession\, both Portu
 gal and Spain saw the emergence of anti-austerity movements and protests. 
 Despite the many similarities between these countries the cycles of protes
 t were different regarding its intensity\, claims\, repertoires\, actors a
 nd outcomes. Taking this contrast into account\, the paper analyses the ev
 olution of the anti-austerity political field of contention in these two c
 ountries between 2008 and 2015. This involves describing the links between
  institutional and non-institutional actors\, both to understand how prote
 sts are shaped by institutional actors\, but also how protests impact inst
 itutional politics. Exploring the formative context and the phases of mobi
 lization and institutionalization of this cycle of contention\, this paper
  argues that the differences between countries should be understood in rel
 ation to the dynamics of the politic field and how this shapes democratic 
 politics. The paper is based on a multi-method approach (combining protest
  event analysis\, participant observation and interviews) and entails a sy
 stematic paired comparison of the links of these actors in Portugal and Sp
 ain throughout the anti-austerity cycle of protest.\n
