About this book:
Collective responses to Irelands dramatic
transformation from a primarily agrarian and rural
society to an industrialised economy obsessed by rapid
growth and development occurred in two phases:
Phase One took place between the "No Nukes" protests
of the late 1970s when campaigns targeted
multinational plants or infrastructural projects
perceived as a pollution threat during years of
economic stagnation.
Phase Two occurred after economic buoyancy was
achieved, as the demands of rapid growth threatened
communities, the environment and Irish heritage in the
face of major infrastructural projects such as roads,
incinerators and gas pipelines.
Starting with the Woodquay protests in Dublin, the "No
Nukes" protests at Carnsore Point, the "Shell to Sea"
campaign in Mayo and the campaign to save Tara from
destruction, these significant ecological campaigns,
based on the communitys localised sense of place or
rural sentiment, have formed the response to these
challenges which are analysed here using social
movement theories such as resource mobilisation,
political opportunity, framing and event analysis.
Written for:
Graduate students and researchers interested in
environment, sociology, political science and Irish
heritage
Keywords:
Ireland
