Between Europe and the Past—Collective Identification and Diffusion of Student Contention to and from Serbia

Astrid Reinprecht

Europe-Asia Studies, 2017, vol. 69, issue 9, 1362-1382

Abstract: This essay examines diffusion between student social movements against higher education reforms in the countries of the former Yugoslavia. It firstly explores how—despite a strong tradition of protest in socialist Yugoslavia and in Serbia under Milošević—activists involved in the 2006 Serbian student protests chose not to reclaim the past but rather drew on experiences from student movements in France, Germany, and Greece. Second, it uncovers how the wave of protest that started in Serbia evolved into a model for contention for the whole region of the former Yugoslavia, long before the 2011 anti-austerity protests could serve as inspiration.
