MURGA FRASSINETTI, Antonio. La participación política de los estudiantes universitarios en el primer gobierno de alternancia en México. Región y sociedad [online]. 2009, vol.21, n.45, pp.45-63. ISSN 2448-4849.

The classic bibliography in the field has established a positive relation between educational level and political participation. This article analyzes the political participation of Mexican university students. The data was collected among students of four bachelor's degree programs-Economics, Physics, Animal Production and Sociology-at four public universities- Universidad de Sonora, Universidad Autónoma de Chiapas, Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, and Universidad Veracruzana- during the latter half of the first opposition-party government (2000-2006). The findings report low levels of participation, with passive and apolitical participation predominating. These findings are similar to those reported by other empirical studies on political participation in Mexico.

Palabras llave : political culture; university students; political participation; subjective participation; active participation; types of participation.
