This thought-provoking Handbook provides a theoretical overview of
the wide variety of anti-environmentalisms and offers an
integrative research agenda for future research on the topic.
Probing the ways in which groups have organized to oppose
environmental movements and pro-environmental policies in recent
decades, it examines those involved in these countermovements and
studies their motivations and support systems. International
contributors investigate the ways in which anti-environmentalism
differs across regions and by the nature of the issue, alongside
unique coverage of the critiques of environmental movements coming
from sources that are not anti-environmental. This Handbook
explores core topics in the field, including contestation over
climate change, wind power, mining, forestry, food sovereignty, oil
and gas pipelines and population issues. Chapters also analyse our
understanding of countermovements, the effect of public opinion on
environmental policy, and original empirical case studies from
North America, Oceania, Europe and Asia. Taking a multidisciplinary
approach, the Handbook of Anti-Environmentalism will be a key
resource for scholars and students of environmental politics and
policy, environmental sociology, environmental governance and
social movements.
This book examines the "oil-tourism interface", the broad range of
direct and indirect contact points between offshore oil extraction
and nature-based tourism. Offshore oil extraction and nature-based
tourism are pursued as development paths across the North Atlantic
region. Offshore oil promises economic benefits from employment and
royalty payments to host societies, but is based on fossil
fuel-intensive resource extraction. Nature-based tourism, instead,
is based on experiencing natural environments and encountering
wildlife, including whales, seals, or seabirds. They share
social-ecological space, such as oceans, coastlines, cities and
towns where tourism and offshore oil operations and offices are
located. However, they rarely share cultural or political space, in
terms of media coverage, public debate, or policy discussion that
integrates both modes of development. Through a comparative
analysis of Denmark, Iceland, Newfoundland and Labrador, Norway,
and Scotland, this book offers important lessons for how coastal
societies can better navigate relationships between resource
extraction and nature-based tourism in the interests of
social-ecological wellbeing.
