Editorial Reviews

Analyzes the history and growth of the French environmental movement from its origins in the early 1970s to its current influence on political parties on the left and the right. Considers the movement's shift from a libertarian focus to other strategies since the socialists came to power in 1981, and discusses the ideological sources of French environmentalism, the movement's political culture, and the role of militants.
