| Description | Scholars have established that grievances are a crucial factor in social movements; yet, despite volumes of research, there is still disagreement over the exact ways in which they matter. This study revisits the concept of grievances, examining them through the lens of environmental crises. Specifically, it discusses two types of grievances linked to environmental crises: structural and sudden. Through a geospatial analysis, the study then examines the relationship between large industrial disasters, their proximity to locations that people value, and post-disaster protest. |
