The rise of environmentalism has been one of the more remarkable
developments in the politics of western societies in recent
decades. However, as environmental awareness has become more
generalized, the forms of expression of environmental concern have
changed. Established environmental movement organizations have
become embedded in policy networks, but, in some countries, there
has been a resurgence of environmental radicalism. New groups,
adopting innovative tactics, have mounted spectacular and
disruptive protests.
These developments pose interesting questions for social
scientists and policy-makers. Has the institutionalization of
established environmental organizations demobilized their
supporters and reduced them to a passive, credit-card waving
'conscience' constituency? Has direct participation in
environmental protest become the specialized activity of smaller
numbers of people? Has there been a decline in the total volume of
environmental protest, or is it merely that the forms of protest
have changed? Have the protest repertoires of established groups
moderated over time, or have they been stimulated by the emergence
of more radical groups to adopt more challenging tactics? Has
environmental protest become more confrontational? Do protests
employ different repertoires of action according to the issues at
stake? How does the incidence of protest vary over time and from
one country to another? Is there evidence of a Europeanization of
either the issues or the forms of environmental protest?
These are some of the questions this volume addresses. Based upon
an analysis of the protest events reported in one quality newspaper
in each of eight countries during a ten yearperiod, this is the
first systematically comparative study of environmental protest in
a representative cross-section of EU member states. It breaks
entirely new ground in the study of environmental politics in
Europe and is a major contribution to the study of protest events.
