The decision by multinational Shell not to dispose of the Brent
Spar oil facility in the North Atlantic was taken after several
occupations of the structure by Greenpeace, and as a result of
large scale pro-Greenpeace protest in the UK, Germany and other
continental countries. This case is often cited as showing the
power of single issue pressure groups and is presented as leading
to a pivotal reconsideration by big business of the importance of
environmental dimensions. However, detailed research proves that
Shell changed its mind on the Brent Spar issue because of the
corporate structure of the company which meant that some parts were
reluctant to bear the bad publicity. Using this case study, Grant
Jordan considers the role of scientific advice in shaping
governmental decisions on matters such as BSE, GM foods, global
warming - and the consequences of a divided scientific view. He
looks at the use of the media by groups and companies attempting to
control the political agenda.
