ESTRATEGIAS Y RECURSOS EMPLEADOS POR EL MOVIMIENTO ESTUDIANTIL EN EL 20

Abstract

The research describes the strategies and resources used by the Chilean student movement in the mass protests of 2011, considering the contributions and limits of resource mobilization theory as an explanatory key. Based on the identification of action repertoires mobilized by the Chilean students, it proposes a characterization of strategies both internal and external to the movement, which altogether account for a certain political action determined by rational elements, as well as emotional and spontaneous ones. Research is basically descriptive and qualitative, since it is based on the analysis of press records and focus group made to former student leaders of 2011.
