| Popis: | In 2011, Chilean students mobilized in the largest demonstrations since the country’s return to democracy. Students in some other Latin American countries have also carried out mass demonstrations in recent years. What explains students’ participation in mobilizations in Latin America? This article argues that financial grievances generated by neoliberal education policies and the massification of higher education are major causes of student protest participation. In addition, it shows how weak organizational linkages with ruling political parties increase the likelihood of mobilization. The theory is explored through a case study of higher education policy, student-party linkages, and student mobilization in Chile from 1990 to 2011. A statistical analysis of a survey of Chilean students demonstrates that a working-class background, using debt to finance education, and weak programmatic connections to parties in power are associated with higher levels of protest participation. En el ano 2011, los estudiantes chilenos se movilizaron en las protestas mas grandes del pais desde el retorno a la democracia. Los estudiantes en otros paises latinoamericanos tambien han realizado movilizaciones masivas en los ultimos anos ?Que explica la participacion de los estudiantes en protestas en America Latina? Este articulo sostiene que los malestares financieros generados por politicas educativas neoliberales y la masificacion de la educacion superior son causas importantes de la participacion estudiantil en protestas. Asimismo, el articulo demuestra como las conexiones debiles con los partidos politicos oficialistas aumentan la probabilidad de movilizacion. La teoria es explorada a traves de un estudio de caso de politicas de educacion superior, conexiones entre estudiantes y partidos, y movilizacion estudiantil en Chile entre 1990 y 2011. Un analisis estadistico de una encuesta de estudiantes chilenos demuestra que un origen de clase trabajadora, el uso de creditos para financiar la educacion, y las conexiones programaticas debiles con los partidos en el poder estan asociados con mayores niveles de participacion en protestas. |
