The fragile victory of French ecologists

Article Abstract:

French ecologists have succeeded in electing eight candidates in parliament but their victory is clouded by the possibility of being derailed by business concerns, bureaucratic pragmatism and outdated vision of development. The precariousness of the green movement is also enhanced by an archaic conception of social management and powerful information networks that are controlled by French capitalists.

Article Abstract:

The emergence of the counter-globalization movement in France is accompanied by an apparent diversification of social protest repertoires. Protest events carried out by groups associated with a wide array of issues are remarkable for their use of spectacular and novel actions, while disobedience campaigns are prominent features of environmental and civil rights protests.
