This book explores how anti-nuclear social movements impact the
state's civil nuclear policy and its implementation by presenting a
historical-comparative case study of anti-nuclear movements in
India. Drawing on social movement theory and empirical methods, the
book demonstrates that the ability for anti-nuclear movements to
impede the inception of nuclear plants - a key element of India's
civil nuclear policy - is determined by the movement's collective
action repertoires, the politicisation of nuclear power and the
state's larger developmental paradigm, and the openness of state
input structures. The case studies of anti-nuclear movements in
Haripur, Kudankulam and Kovvada demonstrate how the implementation
of civil nuclear policy is also determined by the state's technical
and financial capacity and effective international collaboration.
With a focus on theorisation of social movements and their impact,
combined with empirical studies of anti-nuclear movements, as well
as the historical trajectory of civil nuclear development, the book
adds a new prism to the study of India's civil nuclear policy and
anti-nuclear opposition. It will be of interest to researchers
working on social movements, state-society relations, energy
studies and civil nuclear energy in the context of South Asia and
the Global South.
