Abstract

The following article analyses the ideological and political differences emerging among the leaders of the university student movement during 2011. On the basis of the theory of cleavages, it is suggested that students’ proposals and their representation built on a new social fracture, the latter being an outcome of their criticism of mercantilization of higher education. Throughout demonstrations, other differences among the student leaders from the most important student organizations and federations were made evident, especially concerning issues such as negotiations with the government, representation, participation, decision-making process and the movement’s future.

Keywords:

student movement, ideological fractures, student leadership
