Features: This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the development of environmental movements in Western Europe, the United States, and other regions of the world during the 1990s. The author argues that Western environmental movements are at a crossroads. Existing environmental organizations in developed industrial societies, which are increasingly institutionalized, face challenges from more radical groups and local protestors. Despite the growing environmental problems and the trends of economic and cultural globalization, the development of a global environmental movement remains at most preliminary.
