A propos de cet article

Hardcover, xvii + 280 pages, NOT ex-library. Book looks unread, clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Minor handling wear. Bright untorn dust jacket. -- This work provides a detailed transnational history of the anti-nuclear movement in West Germany and its border regions during the 1970s and early 1980s. The author argues that this movement was not merely a single-issue campaign but a crucial catalyst for the development of a new "political environmentalism" and the "greening" of democratic practice. The study focuses on cross-border protests against nuclear power plants in locations like Wyhl (Germany), Fessenheim (France), and Kaiseraugst (Switzerland), highlighting the collaboration between German, French, and Swiss activists. It demonstrates how these grassroots movements pioneered new forms of civil disobedience and participatory democracy that directly contributed to the rise of the Green Party. -- Contents: List of Illustrations; Acknowledgments; Note on Translations and Acronyms; Introduction: Taking the Democratic Dimensions of Anti-Nuclear Activism; 1.

Organizing a "Decisive Battle Against Nuclear Power Plants": Europe and the Nationalization of Green Politics in West Germany; Conclusion: Protesting Nuclear Energy, Greening Democracy; Bibliography; Index -- "Greening Democracy explains how nuclear energy became a seminal political issue and motivated new democratic engagement in West Germany during the 1970s. Using interviews, as well as the archives of environmental organizations and the Green party, the book traces the development of anti-nuclear protest from the grassroots to parliaments. It argues that worries about specific nuclear reactors became the basis for a widespread anti-nuclear movement only after government officials' unrelenting support for nuclear energy caused reactor opponents to become concerned about the state of their democracy. Surprisingly, many citizens thought transnationally, looking abroad for protest strategies, cooperating with activists in other countries, and conceiving of 'Europe' as a potential means of circumventing recalcitrant officials. At this nexus between local action and global thinking, anti-nuclear protest became the basis for citizens' increasing engagement in self-governance, expanding their conception of democracy well beyond electoral politics and helping to make quotidian personal concerns political.".…
