In Defense of Uniqueness; The Two Anomalies; The Organizational Setting: Early History and Later Developments; Who Are the Environmentalists?; Environmentalists Without an Attitude; Political and Environmental Behavior; The Local Community Perspective; The State-Friendly Society; Withering Uniqueness?
Summary
"This book examines and demonstrates how the Norwegian case of environmentalism is unique. The two connected anomalies of an inclusive and state friendly society and a strong orientation and commitment to local communities make the case stand apart from mainstream institutional definitions of environmentalism." "The study compares Norwegian environmentalism with perspectives and findings from other political systems. More generally, this is also a study on the role of voluntary organizations and civil society in a specific type of democracy. The book throws light on why the working of the Norwegian political system - as well as the Scandinavian political systems more generally - is often misunderstood in the international literature."--Jacket
