The massive expansion of global aviation, its insatiable demand for
airport capacity and its growing contribution to carbon emissions
make it a critical societal problem. Alongside traditional concerns
about noise and air pollution, airport politics has been connected
to the problems of climate change and peak oil. Yet it is still
thought to be a driver of economic growth and connectivity in an
increasingly mobile world. The politics of airport expansion in the
United Kingdom provides the first in-depth analysis of the protest
campaigns and policymaking practices that have marked British
aviation since the construction of Heathrow Airport. Grounded in
documentary analysis, interviews and policy texts, it constructs
and employs poststructuralist policy analysis to chart rival groups
and movements seeking to shape public policy. This book will appeal
to people interested in the history of aviation and airports in
Britain, local campaigns and environmental protests, and the
politics of climate change. -- .
