Student Politics and Protest: International perspectives de Rachel Brooks

Student Politics and Protest: International perspectives: Research into Higher Education

Editat de Rachel Brooks
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 oct 2016
Despite allegations of political disengagement and apathy on the part of the young, the last ten years have witnessed a considerable degree of political activity by young people – much of it led by students or directed at changes to the higher education system. Such activity has been evident across the globe. Nevertheless, to date, no book has brought together contributions from a wide variety of national contexts to explore such trends in a rigorous manner. Student Politics and Protest: International Perspectives offers a unique contribution to the disciplines of education, sociology, social policy, politics and youth studies. It provides the first book-length analysis of student politics within contemporary higher education comprising contributions from a variety of different countries and addressing questions such as:
  • What roles do students’ unions play in politics today?
  • How successful are students in bringing about change?
  • In what ways are students engaged in politics and protest in contemporary society?
  • How does such engagement differ by national context?
Student Politics and Protest: International Perspectives explores a number of common themes, including: the focus and nature of student politics and protest; whether students are engaging in fundamentally new forms of political activity; the characteristics of politically engaged students; the extent to which such activity can be considered to be ‘globalised’; and societal responses to political activity on the part of students. Student Politics and Protest: International Perspectives does not seek to develop a coherent argument across all its chapters but, instead, illustrate the variety of empirical foci, theoretical resources and substantive arguments that are being made in relation to student politics and protest.
International in scope, with all chapters dealing with recent developments concerning student politics and protest, this book will be an invaluable guide for Higher Education professionals, masters and postgraduate students in education, sociology, social policy, politics and youth studies.

Recenzii

In many parts of the world it has become a commonplace to decry young people’s lack of political engagement, and especially to lament the decline of student-led political and social movements. Student Politics and Protest offers a most welcome insight into the presence, vibrancy and impact of contemporary student politics around the globe, and shows how higher education participation, policy and associational life profoundly shape young people as political actors today. Brooks’ outstanding collection is just the conversation changer we need in the debate about youth politics.
Professor Anita Harris, Alfred Deakin Institute for Citizenship and Globalisation, Deakin University, Australia


Student Politics and Protest brings together research from 19 countries to provide an extraordinarily rich reflection of how politics is enacted by students across the globe today. Each contribution is rooted in original empirical research – covering participation in formal organisations such as students’ unions through to informal activism in mass campaigns and protest movements – while the editor’s illuminating concluding reflections provide fresh insight into the commonalities and differences in student activism across both space and time.
Professor Hilary Pilkington, School of Social Sciences, University of Manchester, UK

Student Politics and Protest provides a much-needed analysis of the ways in which higher education students have engaged politically over the past few years. By drawing on a wide variety of empirical examples from across the world, it explores the different ways in which students have mobilised, the causes they have championed and how wider society has responded to their actions. It is an important and engaging text for scholars of contemporary higher education.
Professor Claire Callender, Birkbeck and UCL-Institute of Education, University of London, UK

While most important in providing activists as well as ideas for contentious politics, student movements have rarely been studied. Proposing innovative theoretical frameworks and covering a broad range of empirical cases of contemporary protests in institutions of higher education, this important volume contributes to our knowledge on politics and policies in times of austerity.
Professor Donatella della Porta, Scuola Normale Superiore, Florence

Descriere

A dominant discourse among many politicians, policy-makers and social commentators has previously focussed on the alleged political apathy of young people. Recent years, however, have witnessed a considerable degree of political activity by young people, much of it led by students and some of it directed at changes to the higher education system. By drawing on contributions from across the globe, Student Politics and Protest provides a timely analysis of the ways in which student politics and protests are played out in different national contexts. International in scope, this book will be an invaluable guide for scholars, students and the wider public across the world.
