The world is watching what is happening on American campuses with shock, pride, relish and alarm.
Scenes from the protests — and of the arrests of protesters — have been top news around the world from Bogotá to Berlin, Tehran to Paris.
In some countries, including France, students have staged protests of their own, though not with the scale and intensity of those in the United States.
Others, particularly in countries ruled by authoritarian regimes, view the crackdowns as proof of America’s hypocrisy on human rights and freedom of speech.
In some ways, the protests and the response to them are a Rorschach test for the world — the analysis often offering more insight into local politics than into America.
