Studentische Politik oder politische Studentinnen

Abstract

Students in Germany are a frequent topic of discussion these days. As it seems, Liberals, Green-Alternatives and Conservatives see them as the new generation that takes over the responsibility for the unified, but clueless Germany. The Radical Left does not care much about students. In their opinion, students, as always, are just too silly to become a political factor of great importance. The politically active students, on the other band, seem to have realized that in order to change the situation of higher education, a student mass movement is neither possible nor necessary. They look for new ways of political organization, forming alliances with union opposition groups, refugees and people living on welfare. This could be a first step in order to change from harmless »Student politics« into political students once again.
