Book excerpt: A dominant discourse among many politicians, policy-makers and social commentators has previously focussed on the alleged political apathy of young people. Recent years, however, have witnessed a considerable degree of political activity by young people, much of it led by students and some of it directed at changes to the higher education system. By drawing on contributions from across the globe, Student Politics and Protest provides a timely analysis of the ways in which student politics and protests are played out in different national contexts. International in scope, this book will be an invaluable guide for scholars, students and the wider public across the world.
