Estudio Comparativo de los Contextos Sociopolíticos de los Movimientos Estudiantiles en Brasil y Venezuela

This research seeks to compare the socio-political scenarios in which the university student movements of Brazil and Venezuela have developed. A historical summary of the political development of both countries during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries will be made, comparing their democratic and dictatorial cycles chronologically, then a brief summary of the most important moments and actions of the university student movements of both countries and their leaderships will be presented, to finally establish differences and similarities between the two movements. The category chosen for the study is part of the approach of Maria da Gloria Gohn for the study of social movements, a conceptual scheme that allows adequate delimitation and approximation to the movements of interest.
