This book examines how the evolution of higher education in Egypt affects students and student politics. It aims to look beyond the historical representations of the student movement as protests for national and regional causes in order to account for the impact of the socio-economic shift in the 1990s, the revolution in 2011, and the restrictive context post-2013.

Egyptian Students and Politics beyond Protest uncovers the diverse locations where politics emerge among students such as student unions, partisan student organizations, student clubs and associations including simulation models, in addition to activist groups. The book draws on interviews conducted in Egypt between 2013 and 2015 with members of these groups and ethnographic observation of their activities. As students collectively and individually negotiate the scope of their political activities and the meanings they attribute to these activities, the resulting student politics are, not only diverse, but also unexpected.
