For a theoretical approach to the history of student movements, see the introduction in Gevers and Vos (2004). A chronicle of student protest in Belgium between 1958 and 1976 including important events from abroad is provided by Vos (1988). On the problem of the splitting of Leuven University, see Laporte (1999) and Gevers (2006).

On the history of Leuven University and its student movement, see Rogiers and Lamberts (1995) and Vos (1993, 2006). On Brussels University and the contestation there, see Govaert (1990) and Tyssens (1995). On the student movement in Gent, see Simon-Vandermeersch (1988), and in Francophone Leuven, see Gevers and Vos (2001). A general view on Belgium in 1968 is provided by Horn (2005).
