Students as a Political and Social Subject

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to contextualize the Croatian students as subjects of social and political reality, taking into account the complexity of the historical and social conditions, as well as the specifications of the analyzed population. The first part contains a brief historical overview of the student movement framed by the hypothesis of the students as a social avanguard. The second part relates to the analysis of today’s students in Croatia on the basis of guidelines relevant to their (active) involvement in society and politics, while the final section examines how Croatian students belong to the category of intellectuals.
