Exit, Voice, and Denial
Despite opposition from social movements, the animal agriculture industry has largely succeeded in averting serious challenges to its basic business practices. This outcome reflects not only the industry’s political and economic clout, but also divisions among the industry’s opponents and the difficulties that their proposed solutions pose for consumers. Albert Hirschman argues that those dissatisfied with a product or organization have three opt…
Nuclear Waste Stalemate
Nuclear Waste Stalemate: Political and Scientific Controversies . Salt Lake City : The University of Utah Press . xii + 313 pages. ISBN : 978-0-87480-903-9 , $25.00 paperback. Edited by Robert Vandenbosch and Susanne E. Vandenbosch . 2007 .

T…
Baptists and Bootleggers, Once Removed”
This article examines the emergence of an unusual coalition of opponents and proponents of nuclear power, united in their insistence that the EU's high-level radioactive waste (HLW) be disposed of within the EU, and in their opposition to the export of HLW beyond the EU. We argue that this odd coalition is best understood by considering the waste disposal issue within the context of the industry's entire production chain. The activist-industry co…
Meeting the challenge of permanent nuclear waste disposal in an expanding Europe
Experiences of siting nuclear waste disposal facilities in Sweden and the Czech Republic are examined in order to explore differences in state – society relations between the established democracies of western Europe and the fledgling democracies of post-communist Central and Eastern Europe. Sweden's success in moving toward selection of a publicly acceptable nuclear waste disposal site contrasts with the failure of the siting exercise in the Cze…
The Political Climate for Climate Science
How has scientific knowledge shaped the development of the global climate regime, and how has that regime shaped the production of scientific knowledge? These are the two interrelated questions posed by the contributors to Changing the Atmosphere. Their answers result in a fascinating account of the coproduction of science and politics—conceived in both substantive and organizational terms—as these two forces interact in the ongoing effort to und…
Guaranteed human beings for sale
This article discusses one possible response to human rights abuses, collaborative relocation : the externally facilitated resettlement of threatened individuals or groups from one territory to another. From 1933 to 1945, several attempts were made to negotiate the large-scale collaborative relocation of Jews from Germany and Axis Europe. The first of these, the Nazi-Zionist 'Transfer Agreement' of 1933-39, enjoyed significant success; subsequent…
Plying the Humanitarian Human Trade
This article examines ‘facilitative relocation’: third‐party efforts to physically relocate individuals facing persecution on the basis of their ethnicity or individual political activities. Three cases are investigated: antebellum efforts to facilitate emancipation through the subsidized removal of free blacks to colonies outside the United States; the Nazi–Zionist agreement to promote the emigration of German Jews to Palestine in 1933–1939; and…

Bribery and Blackmail in East-West Environmental Politics
Based on extensive documentary research and hundreds of interviews with principals in Russia, the Baltic states, Ukraine and Western Europe, the author analyzes the logic of international environmental cooperation and documents that logic with five case studies. The article evaluates the efficacy and risks of the most popular Western response to environmental degradation in the former socialist states: subsidization ("environmental bribery"). Whi…
