Why might some students convert their political interests into
activism when others do not? There is a strong need to understand
the changing dynamics of contemporary youth participation: how they
engage, what repertoires are considered efficacious, and their
motivations to get involved. This book uses the 2010/11 UK student
protests against fees and cuts as a case study for analysing some
of the key paths and barriers to political participation today.
These paths and barriers - which include an individual's family
socialisation, network positioning, and group identification (and
dis-identification) - help us explain why some people convert their
political sympathies and interests into action, and why others do
not. Drawing on an original survey dataset of students, the book
shows how and why students responded in the way that they did,
whether by occupying buildings, joining marches, signing petitions,
or not participating at all. Considering this in the context of
other student movements across the globe, the book's combination of
quantitative and qualitative methods, and its theoretical
contribution provide a more holistic picture of student protest
than is found in existing studies.
