5 Facta Universitatis, Series: L. & Pol. 1 (2007)

handle is hein.journals/fauvisie5 and id is 1 raw text is: FACTA UNIVERSITATIS Series: Law and Politics Vol. 5, N°1, 2007, pp. 1 - 23 STUDENT'S MOVEMENTS OF 1968 - UNFINISHED REVOLUTION UDC 329.78 (497.11) 1968 Milan Petrovik Faculty of Law, University of Nis, Serbia Abstract. This study first defines the concepts of the left and the right as political phenomena. Then, after touching upon the student and black movement in the United States ofAmerica, it presents the basic features and development of student movements in the Federal Republic of Germany and France in the late 1960s. Most of the study is dedicated to the revolutionary commotion at Belgrade University in 1968, in which the author of this study personally participated. In a fully new way, the text interprets the activities of the Yugoslav President Tito and a group of professors and teaching assistants from Belgrade Faculty of Philosophy gathered around the journal Praxis (The Praxis Group') during this commotion. The study also provides a contribution to the theory of revolution. Key words: the left and right, student movements, revolution as a social contract, revolutionary leader. It has been forty years since student movements - among them that of Belgrade Uni- versity students - reached their peak. The author of this text personally participated in those events - as a student of Belgrade University's School of Law he was a member of the School's Action Board. However, this text is neither historiographical nor autobio- graphical; the experience of the author, and other sources, provide just a grounds for a comprehension from the viewpoint of the theory of state and political sociology, striving to uncover the whole beneath the particulars. The method employed is, therefore, com- parative, where the student movement at Belgrade University is considered parallel with student movements in France and West Germany and, to a point, the United States. This way, we are solving an original problem, because there are practically no papers of the similar kind. However, in order for the 1968 student movements to be understood, one needs to first shed light on the essence of the political phenomena of left and right. They are incessantly discussed in political life and propaganda. Yet, here, compared to such a global interest, scientific understanding is falling behind significantly. Received December 13, 2008
