The exercise of power in the student strikes at the University of Puerto Rico in 2010-2011 was determined in part by Puerto Rico's colonial condition, and at the same time the strikes influenced the ideological construction of the country's colonial conflict. The law was used by both sides as a strategy for advancing their interests. At the same time, the criminalization and state terrorism employed in response to the strikes were the same strategies traditionally used against Puerto Rican independence movements, and the university administration and the government developed new ways of thwarting political demonstrations. The colonial conflicts and the student strikes fed each other and created a new pattern of political discussion and action. El ejercicio del poder en las huelgas de estudiantes en la Universidad de Puerto Rico durante 2010-2011 se determinó en parte a raíz de la condición colonial de Puerto Rico, a la vez que las huelgas mismas influenciaron la construcción ideológica del conflicto colonial del país. El derecho fue utilizado por el gobierno de Puerto Rico, por la administración universitaria y por los estudiantes como una estrategia para favorecer sus intereses. Al mismo tiempo, contra las huelgas fueron empleadas las mismas estrategias de criminalización y terrorismo de estado tradicionalmente utilizadas contra los movimientos independentistas. No obstante, la administración universitaria y el gobierno desarrollaron nuevas estrategias para frustrar las manifestaciones políticas. De esta forma, el conflicto colonial y las huelgas se influenciaron mutuamente y crearon un nuevo patrón de discusión y acción políticas
