Edited by David Tindall, Professor, Department of Sociology, University of British Columbia, Canada, Mark C.J.

Dunlap, Dresser Professor and Regents Professor of Sociology Emeritus, Oklahoma State University, US

‘Over the last decades, many systematic accounts have been provided of the main social and political movements currently active on the globe. Far less attention has been paid to their opponents and critics. Focusing on reactions to environmental movements, and edited by three foremost analysts of environmental politics, this Handbook is likely to have an impact which goes well beyond that particular field. It will appeal to all those interested in the study of “counter-movements” at large.’
