Summary

"Despite growing evidence of the universality of environmental problems and of economic and cultural globalisation, the development of a truly global environmental movement is at best tentative. The dilemmas which confront organisations are no less apparent at the global than at national levels. This volume is a uniquely comprehensive collection of the most recent research on environmental movements in western and southern Europe, the US and the global arena."--BOOK JACKET.
