Abstract

This work is firmly committed on showing the path followed by the high school student movement in Argentina throughout 30 years of democracy. The formulated interpretative hypothesis is that, changes in its conformation and acting have gone through the articulations of the widest political identities within the framework of implementation and crisis process of the neoliberal economic project. The analysis gives a clear insight into the reasons and motivations why this sort of youth political participation have alternated between rejection and resignification of institutional politics as well as its implications in their collective frameworks for action and demands.

Keywords:

politics and youth, high school, student organizations
