This book is based on research and observations undertaken for the
author's PhD thesis at the National University of Ireland, and
represents a case study of national and regional campaigns against
both the Irish state's Regional Waste Management Plans and the
corporate sector's attempts to develop waste incinerators or dumps
in various parts of Ireland. This book provides an in depth account
of the mobilizing patterns and framing processes of community
campaigns which emerged in the wake of the Irish state's
introduction of regional plans for waste management, which included
plans for municipal 'waste to energy' plants or incinerators. It is
the only book with a sole focus on this aspect of Irish society
during the 'Celtic Tiger' boom which preceded the current economic
downturn, and examines policy, population, development social
issues and local and national electoral processes in detail at a
time of immense change in the Republic of Ireland. As such, it
provides a salient insight into the societal shifts which provide
opportunities for social movements to oppose state or corporate
plans which may be perceived to have human health or environmental
risks associated with them.
