“…By bringing the democratic youth movement over to their side, they would gain leverage, as well as room for maneuvering. Motivated by their frustration with Morsi's administration as well as by their own elevated public recognition after the Arab Spring, the leaders of Tamarod became increasingly explicit in their support for al-Sisi, and ultimately supported the military coup that restored the dictatorship (see Holdo, 2017 ;Abdalla, 2016). Tamarod's decision to side with al-Sisi undermined the youth movement's credibility as a pro-democratic force; it had chosen to support a clearly undemocratic leader, whose first priority after securing power was to massacre and imprison political opponents (Holdo, 2016).…”

Cooptation and non-cooptation: elite strategies in response to social protest

The risk of cooptationof being absorbed by powerful elites without gaining new advantagesis an important concern in studies of social movements and social change. Through cooptation, elites undermine movements by stripping them of their credibility as agents of change. This paper aims to explain why, despite its powerful rationale, cooptation does not occur more frequently. Building on political process theory and relational sociology, it demonstrates that cooptation appears rational only on the condition that cooperation is valued lower than political domination. But elite-movement interaction may result in mutually strategic relationships that are conditional on each side's recognition of the other's interest. Two empirical cases illustrate this possibility: the US Civil Rights Movement and Latin American participatory budgeting. In both cases, the actors involved chose a strategy of 'mutually assured autonomy' over cooptation. ARTICLE HISTORY

Shattered worlds: political trauma amongst young activists in post-revolutionary Egypt

Based on qualitative testimonial research with Egyptian youth activists, this article argues that Egypt's post-revolutionary aftermath has been profoundly traumatic. Trauma shatters one's assumptive world as it confronts one with the fragility of existence and the possibility of immediate death. Activists experienced automatic psychological coping mechanisms of intrusion (e.g. dreams and nightmares) and numbing, but Egypt's post-revolutionary social and political context inhibited the operationalisation of non-automatic, socially embedded, coping mechanisms of reintegration and reinterpretation. The former entails the reintegration of one's experiences into an adjusted assumptive world through a shared holding space and the latter the reinterpretation of the suffered traumas through a positive outcome. In the absence of socially embedded coping mechanisms, due to political polarisation and a lack of positive revolutionary outcomes, Egypt's social trauma deepened as is illustrated by the depoliticisation of activists as they tried to mend their shattered assumptive worlds.

“…(Quaranta, 2012;DiGrazia, 2014;Abdalla, 2016). Estas nuevas prácticas políticas se ponen en juego en organizaciones juveniles que redefinen la política y la democracia a partir de las dimensiones de la vida cotidiana, tal como quedó en evidencia durante el ciclo de movilizaciones de los últimos años en Europa y otras partes del mundo (Arditi, 2012;Sampedro y Lobera, 2014).…”

“…Lo anterior es relevante para el caso que nos proponemos estudiar, porque los estudiantes universitarios son uno de los actores que han tensionado con más fuerza las dimensiones institucionales de la política, diversificando sus formas de organización más allá de los partidos políticos y los sindicatos, promoviendo colectivos sociales en diversos ámbitos de la sociedad (Salinas, 2016). La importancia de estas organizaciones se ha hecho patente en los movimientos políticos y ciudadanos de los últimos años, como el llamado movimiento 15M (Sampedro y Lobera, 2014), la Primavera Árabe (Abdalla, 2016), o los ciclos de movilizaciones de estudiantes en Colombia (Archila, 2012) o Chile (Aguirre y García, 2015). En todos ellos podemos reconocer el protagonismo de múltiples formas de organización, como los colectivos no partidistas, los grupos artístico-culturales, los grupos de voluntariados, que junto a la militancia clásica en las juventudes políticas, constituyen los casos de estudio de esta investigación.…”

Revista Española de Ciencia Política, 43, 137-160. Doi: https://doi.org/10.21308/recp.43.06 ResumenEste trabajo presenta los resultados de una investigación sobre cómo se resignifica la política y la democracia en los discursos de estudiantes universitarios chilenos que participan en distintas formas de organización. Se ha empleado una metodología cualitativa, utilizando el grupo de discusión como técnica de producción de datos y el análisis de discurso como enfoque analítico principal. Los participantes fueron militantes de juventudes políticas, activistas de colectivos no partidistas, participantes de grupos de voluntariado e integrantes de grupos artísticos-culturales de las ciudades de Valparaíso, Santiago y Concepción. Los resultados muestran tres discursos acerca de la política y la democracia: (1) «el discurso de la politización» de los colectivos no partidistas; (2) «el discurso experiencial de la política» de los grupos voluntarios y grupos artístico-culturales, y (3) «el discurso del realismo político» de los militantes en juventudes políticas. Se concluye que los tres discursos convergen en el rechazo de las instituciones, pero se diferencian en los modos de entender la política y la democracia a partir de distintas maneras de relacionarse con el poder y la participación.Palabras clave: participación política, organizaciones juveniles, juventud, Chile, democracia, análisis de discurso.
