In the turbulent years of the 1960s and 1970s, France, like other
European countries and the United States, was rocked by a new wave
of social movements. The early development of a strong antinuclear
movement during the 1970s made France the prototypical country for
new social movements (NSMs). However, in the 1980s, these French
NSMs experienced a strong decline. In this book, Jan Willem
Duyvendak compares the surprising development of these NSMs in
France-for peace, the environment, an end to nuclear technology,
solidarity, squatters' rights, women's rights, and gay rights-to
the development of similar campaigns in Germany, Switzerland, and
the Netherlands. Although all of these countries share more or less
the same economic characteristics, they have different political
traditions. Duyvendak finds that by the 1980s, the new social
movements were weaker in France because of France's tradition of
"old" political conflicts. He concludes that because France was
still beset with political splits between center periphery and
urban-country as well as religious and class strife, the
development of French society during the 1980s took place at the
expense of these new social movements
