Through detailed analysis, it traces the evolution of student movements from post-dictatorship resistance to institutional governance, revealing strategies that enabled this remarkable shift from protest to executive leadership.\u003cbr\u003eThe chapters progress methodologically from theoretical frameworks on youth activism and social movement theory to case studies of key mobilizations including the 2001 Mochilazo, 2006 Pingüino Movement, and transformative 2011 protests. The work explores how different political trajectories—conservative, breakthrough, and emerging—shape young activists' paths to power.\u003cbr\u003eBy analyzing this unprecedented political transformation, the book offers vital insights for understanding contemporary social movements across Latin America and beyond. It provides innovative conceptual tools for scholars, activists, and policymakers interested in political change, youth leadership, and the dynamic relationship between street protest and institutional power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCamila Ponce Lara\u003c\/strong\u003e holds a PhD in Sociology from École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS), Paris.
