Social movement, new ways of political action and authoritarian enclaves. The debates of the Advisory Council for Education in the government of Michelle Bachelet in Chile

Abstract

Based on an investigation on the Presidential Advisory Council on the government of Michelle Bachelet, is developed here a theoretical framework on social movements and the so called  subpolitical ways, that allows to see how the student’s movement of 2006 challenged the secondary level educational enclave, and the kind of response a government that was seeking for a citizen’s seal gave through the formation of an Advisory Council with the participation of various sectors. The analysis of the debates within the Council show the various positions al stake and also the inability to reach agreements towards a profound transformation.
