Luttes écologistes et anticapitalistes au Royaume-Uni
Après avoir retracé l'histoire des luttes anticapitalistes et écologistes au Royaume-Uni, Derek Wall, auteur de plusieurs ouvrages sur le sujet, s'attache à décrire la récente vague de protestations contre le changement climatique en examinant dans quelle mesure le mouvement Extinction Rebellion et d'autres mobilisations autour du climat peuvent être rapprochés de l'anticapitalisme propre à des organisations écosocialistes de la gauche radicale
Elinor Ostrom's Rules for Radicals
Elinor Ostrom was both a groundbreaking thinker and one of the foremost economists of our age. The first and only woman to win the Nobel Prize for Economics, her revolutionary theorizing of the commons opened the way for non-capitalist economic alternatives on a massive scale. And yet, astonishingly, most modern radicals know little about her. Elinor Ostrom's Rules for Radicals fixes that injustice, revealing the indispensability of her work on g…
The Commons in History
An argument that the commons is neither nor paradise but can be a way to understand environmental sustainability. The history of the commons-jointly owned land or other resources such as fisheries or forests set aside for public use-provides a useful context for current debates over sustainability and how we can act as good ancestors. In this book, Derek Wall considers the commons from antiquity to the present day, as an idea, an ecological space…
Ecosocialism, the Left, and the U.K. Greens
As Capitalism Nature Socialism is a journal of Ecosocialism, and as Ecosocialism is necessarily a global movement, so do we need to inform our readers about its development around the world. Thus w

Environmental direct action in Manchester, Oxford and North Wales
Direct action campaigns against new roads in the UK received much attention, but campaign groups were locally organised and little is known about how they worked. Protests by three local environmental direct action groups in the years 1992–2001 are examined. Their repertoire was confrontational, targeted mainly at business and the state. Most protests were small-scale and most were unreported in either local or national media. In the larger group…
Covert repertoires
Ecological sabotage (ecotage) has been a feature of the more radical parts of the environmental movement in the Western world for several decades. While it may be perceived as being the preserve of underground cells of 'eco-terrorists', in the UK those who carry out small-scale acts of sabotage are also often engaged in relatively conventional political activity; view sabotage as a complement to other action, not as an end in itself; and are comm…
Explaining the Fuel Protests
We describe and analyse the fuel protests in the UK in September and November 2000. We draw on theories of social movements to explain the success of the first of these protests and the failure of the second. We show how the loose, network forms of organisation contributed to the success in September, and the attempts to impose more formal organisations helped to cause the failure in November. We also show how the success of the protests depended…

The Enemy of Natureand the Nature of the Enemy
Mobilising earth first! In Britain
In 1991 Earth First!, a radical green network inspired initially by the US movement of the same name, mobilised in the UK and has since acted as a catalyst for direct action anti‐road campaigns at sites including Twyford Down in Hampshire and the Mil in East London. Structural factors, both political and economic, have aided its emergence but structural influences ‘do not march in the streets’ or determine the nature of collective action; instead…
