Abstract

MISSES-LIWERANT, Judit Bokser  and  SARACHO LOPEZ, Federico José. 1968s: Student and Social Movements in an Emerging Transnationalism and its Waves Within the World-System. An Editorial Framework. Rev. mex. cienc. polít. soc [online]. 2018, vol.63, n.234, pp.13-52. ISSN 0185-1918.  https://doi.org/10.22201/fcpys.2448492xe.2018.234.65866.

This article studies the 1968 movements around the world as an expression of the incipient globalization processes and a new transnationalism in whose changing margins new actors linked together social agency and cultural circuits to transcend national borders. Through the analysis of several paradigmatic cases, the study roams the transnational threading that came to be in 1968 from the student mobilization and social movements that questioned the current political regimes of various kinds, as well as the latter’s limited response -if not repression- as response to the civic rights democratic and anti-war demands. Examining the convergences and divergences at a global level, as well as their contradictions, the analysis does not neglect specific cases. Conceived as an editorial, the article refers to the contribution to this special issue. Thus, the text opens a rich debate of 1968 as a foundational year.

Keywords : 1968; student movement; social movements; globalization; transnationalism; democracy.
