Using the concept of 'environmental networks', it explores the extent to which social movement theory helps us understand how a broad range of environmental organizations interact. It considers the practicalities of social movement theories and it goes on to relate them to the practices of environmental networks. Theoretically and empirically rich, the book draws on extensive survey material with 144 UK environmental organizations, as diverse as \u003ci\u003enot-in-my-backyard\u003c\/i\u003e (NIMBY) groups, reformists, conservationists and radicals; interviews with more than 40 key campaigners and extensive participant-observation, particularly in London. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFocussing particularly on the crucial question of networking dynamics, the book reveals that there are broad ranging network links across the movements' spatial and ideological dimensions. Combined with inevitable ideological clashes and a degree of sectarian rivalry, these links helps produce vibrant environmental networks that together work to protect and\/or preserve the environment. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone concerned with environmental issues, politics and movements.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eClare Saunders\u003c\/b\u003e is Senior Lecturer in Environmental Politics at the Environment and Sustainability Institute, University of Exeter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.57 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 11, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42717484711999,"sku":"9781472589712","price":93.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/ffa0a01627ffb6a8f9e356b785ab8c73.webp?v=1765078632","url":"https:\/\/dhl-adrianne.myshopify.com\/products\/environmental-networks-and-social-movement-theory-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
