Abstract

Our recent history is strewn with cases in which superordinate governments and private entrepreneurs have attempted to impose unwanted projects or facilities on local communities.1 Battles have been fought in New England over the location of oil refineries and nuclear energy plants. Communities downstream from industrial plant sites have opposed plans for imminent constructions. All across the country, local citizens have organized against the establishment of hazardous waste disposal facilities in their communities.
