Experts and Campaigners

The papers assembled in this volume should enable readers to understand what too many people today insistently misperceive. Environmental protection is not just a 'special interest'. It is an essential task for everyone. This book brings together texts by social scientists from the United States, France and Spain. Their common frame of reference is the dialectic between experts and activists in socio-environmental movements, as well as the concern about changes, both cognitive and political, arising in that context. Los trabajos reunidos en este volumen permitiran comprender a los lectores lo que no se percibe correctamente hoy en dia: la proteccion medioambiental no solo es un interes especial , sino que constituye una tarea esencial para todos. Este libro recoge textos de cientificos sociales de los EEUU, Francia y Espana, cuyo marco comun de referencia es la dialectica entre expertos y activistas de los movimientos socio-medioambientales, asi como la preocupacion sobre los cambios cognitivos y politicos que surgen en este contexto.
