This research analyzes the National Students Union (NSU/UNE) political intervention fighting for a higher public education that would be of good quality and free, through the University Reform in two precise moments: 1) In the 1960 s while the first Guidelines and Basis for the National Education Law (Law nº4.024/61) and for the occasion of its reformulation in 1968 through Law 5.540/68; and 2) In the 2000 s, while Luis Inácio Lula da Silva´s presidential mandates. We make use of the French lines as theoretical referential on the Speech Analysis to run through and unveiling the speech of that entity. In order to confront the speeches in the two different moments we made use of the documents of those times centered, initially, on the elaborations of the UNE´s seminaries of 1961, in Salvador, 1962, in Curitiba and 1963, in Belo Horizonte; in related articles written in those years, such as O Metropolitano and Jornal do Brasil (both collected from the Studies Program and Education Documentation and Society, at Federal University of Rio de Janeiro Proedes/UFRJ) and on second moment of the research, some articles found at UNE´s site were also used, detach here the entity´s primer about the University Reform´s anti-project (2008). It is intended to deepen the actual SNU´s constitution´s debate and your way of acting before University Reform implanted in the years of brazil´s particular way of neoliberalism. / Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Alagoas / Esta pesquisa faz uma análise da intervenção política da União Nacional dos Estudantes (UNE) na luta pelo ensino superior público, gratuito e de qualidade via debate da Reforma Universitária em dois momentos especificamente: 1) nos anos de 1960, durante a elaboração da primeira Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional (Lei nº 4.024/61) e por ocasião de sua reformulação em 1968 via Lei 5.540/68; e 2) nos anos 2000, durante o governo do presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Lançamos mão do referencial teórico da Análise do Discurso de linha francesa para percorrer e desvelar o discurso da referida entidade. Para o confronto discursivo dos dois momentos supracitados, utilizamos documentos da época centrados, inicialmente, nas elaborações dos seminários da UNE, nos anos de 1961, em Salvador; 1962, em Curitiba e 1963, em Belo Horizonte; em matérias veiculadas nos jornais da época, como O Metropolitano e Jornal do Brasil (ambos colhidos no acervo do Programa de Estudos e Documentação Educação e Sociedade, da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro Proedes/UFRJ) e, no segundo momento da pesquisa, foram utilizadas algumas matérias disponíveis atualmente no sítio da UNE, com destaque para a cartilha da UNE sobre o anteprojeto da Reforma Universitária (2008).

Cette thèse analyse l’entrée en politique des dirigeants de la Mutuelle nationale des étudiants de France (MNEF). Cet organisme prenait en charge la gestion de la sécurité sociale étudiante. Il était dirigé par des étudiants élus. Au cours des années 1960 et 1970, l’engagement de ces responsables devient de plus en plus politique. Leur activité militante et professionnelle constitue une forme de socialisation particulière, en ce sens qu’ils apprennent des savoir-faire et intériorisent des représentations assimilables à des apprentissages politiques. La conversion de ce capital militant en capital politique constitue le cœur de la thèse. Elle est favorisée par des configurations d’acteurs au sein desquels les mondes de la représentation étudiante et les partis politiques sont fortement intriqués. Le recours à l’analyse des réseaux sociaux a permis d’objectiver ces configurations et de les situer historiquement. Les interpénétrations sont beaucoup plus fortes dans les années 1970 et 1980 que lors des années 1960. Au cours de ces deux décennies, un dirigeant sur de la mutuelle sur deux entre – en tant qu’élu ou que membre d’un cabinet – dans le champ politique. L’analyse de l’engagement de ces militants étudiants nous renseigne plus généralement sur l’entrée en politique comme processus. / This thesis analyses the political entrance of the leaders of the French national student health care insurance (MNEF). This organisation was in charge of student social security, lead by elected students. During the 1960s and 1970s, the engagement of the organisation's leaders became more and more political. Their activist and professional activities constitute a specific form of socialisation as they are integrating new know-how and internalize representations that are very similar to political knowledge. The transfer of this activist capital into political one is at the heart of this thesis. Transfer is made possible by configurations of actors in which the worlds of the student representation and political parties are strongly intermingled. Social networks analysis allows us to objectify this configuration and to place them in their historical context. Interpenetration is much stronger in the 1970s and 1980s than in the 1960s. During these two decades, one leader of the MNEF out of two enter the field of politics, either has an elected representative or cabinet member. The analysis of the commitment of these student activists provides useful general information about the entrance into politics as a process.

This thesis examines the career of Baldur von Schirach, who headed the National Socialist Students' Union from 1928 to 1931 and the Hitler Youth from 1931 until 1940.

The aim of this diploma thesis is the preparation and foundation of the Students' Union of the University of Economics in Prague, which is done by Soft systems methodology. In order to achieve this aim, the thesis elaborates a theory of student organizations and student unions in the Czech Republic. It also compares a set of rules governing student organizations at chosen Czech universities with chosen foreign universities. The result of this comparison is that chosen foreign universities have more systematic policies towards their student organizations. The research part of this thesis contains Analysis two (social) and Analysis three (political) from the Soft systems methodology. The results of the research contains defined set of roles, norms, values and a distribution of power in the environment of student organizations at University of Economics. Practical part of the thesis brings two complete learning cycles of the Soft systems methodology including root definitions, CATWOE and models of purposeful activity. Based on these two learning cycles, the thesis defines the general limits of Soft system methodology for the foundation of student union at Czech universities.
