Temporalizing contention
This Introduction presents the Thematic Section “Social Movements in the Long Term,” which examines how social movements generate effects beyond visible protest peaks and immediate political outcomes. It argues for a long-term approach in which duration, continuity, and historical rootedness are treated as constitutive dimensions of contentious politics. Building on debates on temporality, movement outcomes, abeyance, repertoires and historical s…
Temporal dynamics and complex causality in Chilean contentious politics
This article advances a framework for understanding the long-term effects of contentious politics by foregrounding temporality and complex causality. While temporality has gained prominence in the literature, particularly in research on memory and impacts, dominant approaches often assume that movement effects dilute as time horizons expand, limiting political influence to the short term and to processes of institutionalization. This article chal…
Power, Legitimacy, and Institutions in the October 2019 Uprising in Chile
The 2019 uprising in Chile was the outcome of an erosion of political arrangements and the politicization of popular unrest that developed over three decades. Two explanations for it-the political mobilization of the groups that emerged from the neoliberal reforms (the "new people" approach) and the mismatch between institutions and society (the "decoupling" approach)-can be reconciled by emphasizing the connections between elite and popular poli…
Protest and Social Policies for Outsiders
The expansion of social pensions in Latin America was part of a larger process aimed at extending protections to informal workers and other individuals not covered by social insurance. These reforms were enacted by governments of different colours, and varied considerably with regard to the scope of the new programmes. While previous comparative studies have privileged economic factors and electoral dynamics to explain these differences, this art…
La política estudiantil
Este ensayo tiene por objetivo principal ofrecer algunas reflexiones críticas para el estudio de lo que los estudiosos en la materia usualmente llamamos movimientos estudiantiles. El ensayo se compone de dos secciones. En la primera, reflexiono sobre las implicaciones que se derivan de usar el concepto “movimientos estudiantiles” para definir el campo de estudios, e invito a considerar el concepto alternativo de “política estudiantil”. En esa lín…
Student Movements in Late Neoliberalism
The Civil Sphere in Latin America
The Civil Sphere in Latin America presents a number of original case studies applying Jeffrey Alexander’s civil sphere theory (CST) to eight Latin American countries. This publication has to be seen in the context of a larger scholarly enterprise, namely, the theoretical and empirical advancement of CST beyond its traditional focus on North America and Europe
Introduction to special sub-section
The relationship between students and activism has long interested sociologists, especially since the wave of social unrest of 1968 (Barker, 2008). However, the works that have looked at the topic can hardly be identified as a coherent, clearly identifiable strand of the literature. Furthermore, scholarly attention has fluctuated over time, with researchers reacting to the course of events and especially to the waves of student protests. Attentio…
Struggling for education
This article aims at explaining the emergence and magnitude of student protests in Chile in 2011 and in Quebec in 2012. These two societies witnessed unprecedented levels of student mobilization that cannot be accounted for simply by pointing out existing resources and political cultures. Although the latter did play a role in shaping the mobilization - insofar as in both Chile and Quebec the student movement is well organized, is composed of den…
Student movements in the age of austerity. The cases of Chile and England
Several recent episodes of massive student protests in countries in Europe, Latin America, and Africa, raise the question of whether we are witnessing to a new surge of student protests. This profile offers an interpretation of the socio-economic and political processes that have caused contentious reactions among students, paying special attention to changes in the major characteristics of the higher education sector. In last decades, government…
Mass Higher Education and the 2011 Student Movement in Chile
This article analyses the material and ideological implications of a highly commodified mass higher education system on the 2011 students' mobilisations in Chile. Drawing upon quantitative and qualitative data, we show that the grievances denounced by the movement emerged from the differences in the process of socialisation/reproduction of intellectual labour among universities, which in turn correspond to forms of class exploitation. Moreover, w…
Introduction
The year 2011 with its series of massive episodes of popular mobilisation in Europe, North America and the Arab region, signals a symbolic comeback of students as a political actor and higher education as a locus of contention and dispute. Yet in many Latin American countries, students had mobilised well before the aforementioned events, including those studied in this special issue. Latin American campuses had been protesting against austerity b…

Radical Social Movements in Western Europe
There has been little comparative research on the differences across radical social movements in the context of consolidated democracies. This paper analyses the squatting movement, as an exemplary case of contemporary radical movement. This study aims to identify the causal contexts that explain the differences of strengths within these movements across 52 large cities in Western Europe. It examines three main hypotheses drawn from the literatur…
Explaining differences in the strength of squatters’ movements in western European cities
Squatters occupy and restore empty buildings to establish self-managed social centres, where they put in practice alternative ways of living while engaging in various protest campaigns. Episodes of squatters’ activism have occurred in many European cities, including the ‘occupy’ movement and the demonstrations against austerity measures in several countries. Despite this trajectory, there is little comparative research on squatters’ movements. Th…
Understanding Conflict, Change and Power after the Financial Crisis
The most significant progress in the study of political conflict has been related to turmoil, insurrections and rebellions. Revolts against colonial powers in Africa, Asia o the Middle East, transitions to democracy and the struggles against dictatorships in Latin America or Southern Europe, guerrilla and insurrectionary movements in Asia or Central America, the fall of communism in Russia and Eastern Europe, or the sequence of demonstrations aga…
Jackie Smith, Social Movements for Global Democracy
Jackie Smith's "Social Movements for Global Democracy" is a comprehensive study of transnational social movements, or, more precisely, of social movements in their transnational dimension, and their struggles to change the course of global affairs.The author's goal is twofold.On the one hand, she examines the ways in which ordinary people collectively contest neoliberal or capitalist globalization, and how they have come out with alternative prop…
The Students' Rebellion in Chile
This article gives an overview of the trajectory, components and repertory of the Chilean students' movement, which staged a series of protests during 2011. Although it started by contesting inequalities in the education system, the movement soon evolved into a challenge to the authoritarian character of political institutions, sharing similar goals with protests elsewhere around the world—including radical economical and political democratizatio…
