DESCRIPTION:Giorgio Jackson (26) is a social movement leader and recently 
 elected MP in Chile. He represents a new generation of activists and polit
 icians entering the political arena. Giorgio led the student mobilisations
  in Chile in 2011. Since then he has been able to transform the existing l
 ocal discontent\, in relation to the segregated educational system\, into 
 a much broader social movement capable of questioning the very foundations
  of the Chilean political and economic institutional framework. These mobi
 lisations have proven to be the largest in the last 30 years and have been
  able to effectively challenge the prevailing hegemonic neoliberal paradig
 m in the country. \n\nThomas Jeffrey Miley is Lecturer of Political Sociol
 ogy in the Department of Sociology at Cambridge. He received his PhD. from
  Yale University. He has lectured at Yale University\, Wesleyan University
 \, and Saint Louis University (Madrid)\; and he has been a Garcia-Pelayo R
 esearch Fellow at the Center for Political and Constitutional Studies in M
 adrid. His research interests include nationalism\, language politics\, id
 entity politics\, immigration\, religion and politics\, regime types\, and
  democratic theory.
