RE: Documentary/Film suggestions?

Varda's the Gleaners is a truly great film - a  meditation on waste, aging and 
marginalisation. If you haven't seen it, do - 
Perhaps not in the same league as a film, but really nice and very worthwhile 
as a teaching / discussion tool, is Ernesto Livon-Grosman's documentary, 
Cartoneros
www.cartonerosdoc.com
focusing on the street level garbage collection industry in Buenos Aires 
following the economic collapse in Argentina.
Ernesto presented the film here at Aston to students this spring - we had a 
really nice discussion afterwards. His contact details are on the website, he 
may possibly have some DVD copies he can forward, and I think he's keen to 
present the film where he can. He's based at Boston College.
Best to all,

Waste disposal: No room at the bin
Councils are having to dream up new ways of dealing with post-Christmas waste, 
due to plummeting prices for recyclables

 *   Steve Eminton
 *   The Guardian, Wednesday 7 January 
2009

New year cheer is pretty hard to find in the 
recycling industry and council 
waste departments. The annual 
deluge of post-Christmas cans, paper and bottles for recycling can seem 
overwhelming, but this year's short-term problem is compounded by a dismal 
world market.

Problems for recycling started in October, with a dramatic lurch downwards in 
the value of waste paper and other materials. Until then, used newspapers were 
worth more than £100 a tonne, but are now down to £25 a tonne, while steel cans 
- the kind used for beans and pet food - plummeted in value from £235 a tonne 
in the summer to zero in November.

Steelworks in the UK said they didn't even want the cans - only months after 
backing recycling campaigns by urging the public and recycling businesses to 
collect a "valuable material".

So what happened? There seems to be no single reason for the decline, but most 
people in the industry point to China. It has been of growing importance to the 
UK and receives a large proportion of the material collected for recycling - 
about 2.5m tonnes of paper in 2007 and 500,000 tonnes of plastic bottles, 
polythene and other plastics.

The Olympics are widely thought to have been a turning point in the Chinese 
economy. Until then, China had been buying just about any waste paper, plastics 
and metals it could find from the UK and the rest of Europe. But after the 
closing ceremony, the country became inextricably tied in to the world economic 
downturn. The recycling market - already destabilised by the reduction in 
orders from China - went the way of the financial markets and collapsed too.

While prices for used newspapers have plummeted, orders for mixed papers - the 
envelopes, newspapers and cornflake packets from the home - are almost 
non-existent, and those that are moving are going for £10 a tonne or less, or 
even for free.

This price fall has significant impacts for the recycling sector and councils. 
No one wants to be the council or contractor that landfills recyclable 
material. The potential shame of this is driving recyclers to find outlets, 
almost at any cost. And, if these can't be found, storage is the option.

The Environment Agency last month hurriedly dished out concessions allowing 
waste regulations to be sidelined if material had to be stored. Waste companies 
suddenly found room at their sites to stockpile cans, and expressed a 
willingness to sell on paper at prices they would previously have refused to 
accept. If needed, military bases may be allowed to take in material on a 
short-term storage licence.

Official efforts to bring calm have seen the government's recycling quango, 
Wrap (Waste and Resources Action Programme), working with the new recycling 
minister Jane Kennedy to spread a message that the market has steadied and 
materials are still moving. Wrap has also played a part in trying to provide a 
market for plastic bottles by ensuring that Closed Loop, a London-based 
plastics recycler, keeps taking in used plastic bottles, even if there is 
little demand at present for the flakes of recycled plastic it produces. There 
is every justification for the plant still taking material in as it received 
significant financial support from Wrap for its development.

Now that the post-Christmas challenge is starting for real, what local councils 
really want is an austere January and February so that handling the recycling 
glut can be spread over these months.

The toughest material to find a home for will be mixed papers, and recycling 
loads containing Christmas wrapping paper - which is not recyclable because of 
its poor quality - are likely to be put into landfill. Councils and contractors 
will be less worried this year that such loads end up in the landfill site, 
even if it is mixed with paper that might in normal times have been salvaged.

Steel and aluminium cans are certain to be stored. Aluminium still has a value, 
and there is a general consensus that it is wrong to landfill steel. Even those 
who work for the UK's largest steel company, Corus, are thought privately to 
regret the fact that the price is zero, but its parent group Tata Steel is 
making cost savings across the globe, including mothballing some furnaces.

Plastic bottles will find some outlets, and newspapers will still go to mills, 
but prices will remain low. The UK will benefit later in 2009 with the opening 
of the most modern newsprint mill 

RE: Query on environmental food boycotts

2007-03-08 Thread Hayes, Graeme
I spent some time on environmental protests in France in the mid-90s - 
especially a campaign against a plan to build a series of dams on the river 
Loire (the protest was a success) and one against the Somport road tunnel 
through the Pyrenees (protest ended in failure). The activists I spoke to 
there, and generally over the years, found it rather bizarre that French wine 
producers should bear the brunt of Chirac's resumption of testing; they were 
worried that the loss of foreign markets would ultimately damage the type of 
small scale cooperative farmer who respects the terroir more than it would the 
hurt the bigger, more industrialised producers. 
Then again, this type of argument seems familiar from boycotts that are 
national rather than those that are directly targeted at specific products or 
companies; I seem to recall that during the apartheid era boycott of South 
African produce, similar objections were raised in some quarters (that it would 
affect the poorest, ie black, populations the hardest). I'm not sure that 
argument carried too much weight at the time, or has much validity in 
retrospect.
(Though in the French case, it was enough to make me drop the boycott and take 
up the ooh, is that an Alsace Riesling? again, not that I needed too much 
persuading - I spend a lot of time in France, you understand...)

That's a good question.  I remember the onset of the protest as I was in Sweden
at the time and Swedish restauranteurs were depicted in newspapers pouring
French wine into the gutter.  The French, in typical fashion, completed their
scheduled tests in the Pacific atolls in defiance of the boycott.

I "punished" them for their anti-environmental behaviour by avoiding French wine
for about a decade -- and I write wine reviews! (There ain't much of a living in
academia...)  Eventually, I was confronted with a bottle of beaujolais, which
was soon followed by a trip to the Loire Valley, and that was the end of that.
I do still feel a twinge of guilt since they did their testing anyway but, if
one keeps the boycott up indefinitely, it will become a bit like avoiding
Reislings in protest of the Nazis.

RE: Query on environmental food boycotts

2007-03-07 Thread Hayes, Graeme
Hi, I was also cross enough with Chirac to forego my medicinal glass of grand 
cru in late 1995 (if, er, only for a while). But the environmental aspect of 
the French nuclear testing boycott is an interesting one - I seem to recall 
that there were a number of voices in France, mostly but not exclusively on the 
Gaullist right, arguing that the boycott was about claiming geo-political 
leadership, and not about the environment at all (it was pointed out a number 
of times that Australia was further from the test zone than Peru; that global 
appeals to boycott French wine helped New World wines reach new markets; and 
there was also mention of revenge for the 1985 sabotage of the Rainbow Warrior 
in Auckland). Of course, a consumer boycott wasn't an option available within 
France, for obvious reasons. 
In fact, though it is legal to boycott consumer goods in France, I think it is 
still illegal to encourage others to do so (though the Confédération paysanne 
is currently calling for a mass boycott of all Monsanto's products, an appeal 
which is little more than symbolic, even by usual boycott standards; French 
consumers already seem to have decided that GM foods are not for them).
Otherwise, your student might look at the McLibel case, and John Vidal's 1997 
book McLibel: Burger Culture on Trial (published in the US by The New Press, 
NY) - for those unfamiliar with the case, McDs took two more or less penniless 
activists from London Greenpeace to court for distributing anti-McD leaflets 
which advised consumers to avoid the place. The decision to prosecute for 
defamation was, spectacularly, an own goal.
I guess whether any of these cases are purely environmental is as much a 
metaphysical question as a political one, though.

Hi Leslie:

I don't know if this would qualify, but I recall (and indeed, participated in) 
a boycott of French wine during its resumption of nuclear testing in the South 
Pacific in the mid-1990s.  The arguments against the testing were primarily 
environmental.

subsequently amended by Directive 2004/101/EC

CFP: ECPR Pisa 2007 panel on Environmental disobedience

2006-12-15 Thread Hayes, Graeme
Environmental Disobedience

 

I'd like to put together a panel for the 2007 ECPR General Conference at Pisa 
(6-8 September - see 
http://www.essex.ac.uk/ecpr/events/generalconference/pisa/index.aspx)

on Environmental Disobedience.

 

Rationale:

The aim of this panel is to contribute to the developing literature on 
environmental civil disobedience and ecotage (eg Michael Martin (1990), 
Jennifer Welchman (2001), Alex Plows et al (2004)). From the Chiapas to 
anti-GMO movements to protests in Western democracies against the Iraq war, 
environmental analyses have been central to popular resistance movements 
deploying a range of collective disobedience and intervention strategies, from 
damaging property to withholding income tax (the latter being especially 
prevalent in North America).

 

This panel invites papers seeking to further our understanding of the frames, 
strategies and relationships which underpin ecosabotage and environmental civil 
disobedience. What moral, legal and political justifications are articulated in 
defence of deliberate law-breaking? What are the boundaries between violence 
and non-violence? Is there a sense of a changing relationship between movements 
and the nation state? How have state responses affected movement trajectories? 
What are the specific local/national narratives which legitimate the use of 
these disobedience and ecotage strategies? What are the common and divergent 
points between movements, states, causes? How have counter-globalisation 
frameworks and movements affected relationships and strategies?

 
If you are interested in presenting a paper please contact me: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Graeme

ECPR 2008 Joint Sessions

2006-12-15 Thread Hayes, Graeme
Dear All,

The 2008 ECPR Joint Sessions will be held in Rennes, France, from 11-16 April. 
The deadline for applications is Friday 16 February 2007. If you're thinking of 
putting forward a workshop proposal, the GPSG can offer some advice, as well as 
Standing Group endorsement, if you email either me ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and/or 
Adam Fagan ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) by Wednesday 31 January 2007. 

Downloadable proposal forms can be found on the ECPR Rennes 2008 page 
(http://www.essex.ac.uk/ecpr/events/jointsessions/rennes/index.aspx).

The ECPR's guidelines are that 'Any scholar belonging to an institution which 
is a full member of the ECPR has the right to propose to organise a workshop. 
Associate members may propose to co-direct a workshop with a scholar belonging 
to a full ECPR member institution. Proposers should bear in mind that it is 
unlikely that a workshop will be accepted where that same person has directed a 
workshop within the last two years. It is recommended that there are two 
directors owing to the amount of work involved in organising a workshop. Where 
there are two co-directors, they should come from different institutions and 
preferably from different countries.'

Subject: The Politics of Climate Change

CALL FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST

It seems clear that the chief obstacles to effective action on climate
change are political, but politicians have not done very well in
surmounting these. For this reason I am exploring the possibility of
setting up a project designed to encourage colleagues to systematically
apply theories of politics and policy-making to the task of identifying
politically viable long-term state strategies for mitigating climate
change that would be effective enough to prevent catastrophic climate
change. As the international dimension is already covered, the focus
would be on how governments can obtain deep cuts in greenhouse gas
emissions within their own countries.

The first move for such an enterprise would be to organise a panel at
the ECPR conference in Pisa in 2007. This could then be followed up by a
Workshop at the 2008 ECPR Jt Sessions designed to result in a major
edited volume in which theories of politics and policy-making are used
to derive politically viable long-term strategies for mitigating climate
change, to the extent that this can be done. It may also be possible to
obtain research funding for further activities. I am well-placed to
coordinate this because I have extensive experience of organizing
collaborative projects, including directing several ECPR Workshops, and
of obtaining research grants.

Climate change is an issue on which political scientists might be able
to make a major contribution. If you are interested in the possibility
of becoming involved, please get in touch with me.

ECPR 2007

2006-10-24 Thread Hayes, Graeme
Title: ECPR 2007






Dear All

Just a word that the ECPR's 2007 General Conference will be held in Pisa, 6-8 September 2007. As with the previous conferences, the format will be one of sections and panels. The Green Politics Standing Group (http://www.greenpolitics-ecpr.org/) is organizing a section (of between 4 and 10 panels), which we hope will encompass a broad range of research-based papers on aspects of environmental politics. 

We are particularly keen to receive panel proposals and papers on or related to the following:

* Environmental politics in the global south / comparative north-south, east-west movement analysis

* Trans-national networks and environmental activism / global justice and environmental activism

* Environmental capacity building, knowledge and policy development

* New technologies, environment and social control

* Biodiversity and sustainability

(Though it's a non-exhaustive list.) 

Panel proposals should be submitted to either Adam Fagan ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), or Graeme Hayes ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) for consideration under the environmental politics section.

The final deadline for sections and panels is 1 March 2007, but in practice we will need the information (including all completed GC2 and 

GC3 forms, as set out on the ECPR conference website, http://www.essex.ac.uk/ecpr/events/generalconference/pisa/index.aspx) by 31 January 2007. 

Please note that if you want to propose a panel, you should therefore be proactive and begin to contact prospective participants sooner rather than later. Institutional ECPR membership is not mandatory for participants.

Both Adam and I are happy to supply further information and advice.

Many thanks
