Issues in Environmental Research: Free E. Book from Ecopolitics
Free E-Book from Ecopolitics: Issues in Environmental Research: Politics, Anthropology and Sociology by Liam Leonard and Michael O' Kane.
http://www.ecopoliticsonline.com/index.cfm?action=books
The success of civil society groups and social movements in the Lisbon Treaty referendum has increased our focus on the relationship between activism and power. This, the third book in the Ecopolitics Series, presents a series of studies on activists in Ireland between the 1997 and 2007 general elections.
Here, the relationship between activism and research is explored through a series of case studies, interviews and articles. Activists with the Irish Green Party in working class areas of Dublin provide the focus for Irish-Australian anthropologist Michael O'Kane's in depth study on the 1997 election campaign. This is followed by a series of articles by Irish-American political sociologist Liam Leonard, based on his work as a researcher and journalist in Galway between 1999 and 2008.
Issues in Environmental Research: Politics, Anthropology and Sociology provides an chronological account of political events from an activist's perspective, thereby creating further understandings of the motivations of those in society who are so often on outside of the mainstream, but who have influenced events both nationally and throughout Europe in recent political campaigns. As such, this book offers a significant record of activist's perspectives at a pivotal moment in the relationship between the grassroots and the political elite, both in Ireland and in the wider European Union.

Call for papers: “Utopias, ecotopias and green communities:
Exploring the patterns of resettlement and living of green idealists”
Since the 17th century people have sought out utopias, establishing communities towards this aim. In the UK and US, educational institutions and planned communes were developed. Many were seeking to establish green alternative lifestyles or agrarian co operatives. Others reclaimed land or settled in areas once populated and then abandoned, providing a new lease of life for rural areas. Ireland has witnessed these patterns of utopian resettlement from the establishment of gaeltachts in the 1920s through to the influx of environmentally minded idealists from the UK or Germany to the west during the 1970s and 1980s. More recently, communities have emerged around protest sites in Rossport, the Glen of the Downs, Carrickmines and Tara and the ‘Ecovillage’ in Tipperary have been established.
This first edition of the Ecopolitics Online Journal will explore the issue of ‘seeking utopias’. Contributors should explore case studies from a broad and international range of community idealism and cooperative building. Rural resettlement, communes, syndicates, workers’ co ops, environmental communities and educational institutions are included within this broad thematic area of focus. Papers should be approximately 5,000 words with Harvard style referencing. The submission date for abstracts is September 1st 2007. Contributions to the following:
