<br />
Does
Chernobyl constitute a turning point in the history of environmental
policy and politics? Around the world environmental policy was
introduced in the early 1970s as a new policy area and arena of
political and societal conflict. However, from mid-1970s onwards, as a
result of the oil crisis, the new policy came to be increasingly
challenged, and considered an obstacle to traditional economic growth
objectives. Notably in West Germany, environmental policy’s great leap
forward only happened in the 1980s. The debate about the dying forests
led to the introduction of new filter technologies and catalytic
converters to stop acid rain from killing trees and harming people. It
was the shock of Chernobyl, however, that convinced the West German
government to eventually establish a separate ministry of the
environment at the federal level.<br />
<br />
This conference has two aims:<br />
<br />
First, it seeks to assess <b>change in environmental politics and policy making</b>
– from its beginnings around 1970 until the 1990s, when the Rio
Conference definitely lifted environmental issues to a global scale with
the breakthrough of the sustainability agenda and the increasing
dominance of the climate change issue. While the early phase of
environmental policy is increasingly well-covered by environmental
history, we know very little about the subsequent development of the
policy.<br />
<br />
Against this backdrop, we seek to examine <b>to what extent and how environmental policy and politics changed </b>during
the first thirty years of their existence. Transformations may have
concerned political, administrative, societal, and media practices and
structures as well as problem perceptions. The conference’s goal is to
uncover, in particular, the conditions for change, ruptures, intercepted
developments and roads not taken.<br />
<br />
Secondly, the conference aims at re-assessing the <b>importance of the Chernobyl nuclear accident for change in environmental policy and politics</b>.
Did Chernobyl actually constitute a turning point? Did Chernobyl really
strengthen environmental policy, by bringing environmental issues back
to the centre of political attention? What were the consequences of
Chernobyl for the perception of environmental policies? What was the
impact on political and societal action, mobilisation and structures?
Did Chernobyl offer new windows of opportunity for environmental policy
makers.<br />
<br />
We will also discuss an alternative interpretation: Is it
more appropriate to consider Chernobyl rather as a catalyst where the
different environmental debates, growing environmental consciousness and
ecological concerns of the 1980s came together to accelerate and
strengthen environmental policy. Next to the lasting conflict about
nuclear power this included concerns about the visible environmental
problems such as dying forests and polluted water, and increasingly also
invisible and global concerns about the hole in the ozone layer and
climate change. We will look beyond national borders: How does the West
German response compare to other European countries – a question that
seems relevant with a view to the German phase-out after Fukushima?<br />
<br />
The conference seeks to focus on the different actors that shaped environmental policy:<br />
<br />
(1) Political parties,<br />
(2) Courts of law, government administrations and bureaucracies, and scientific experts,<br />
(3) environmental movements,<br />
(4) business groups, utilities and industry and<br />
(5) media.<br />
<br />
All
of these different actors did not only discuss environmental issues
from their respective perspectives. They also interpreted environmental
problems differently and offered divergent solutions. These include, for
instance, the growing interest in market solutions and ideas about
green growth and ecological modernisation. These actors engaged in
environmental policy at – but routinely also across - different levels –
the local, regional, national, but also at the European and
international levels.<br />
<br />
The starting point of the debate will be the
experience in the Federal Republic of Germany, which however needs to
be understood in its European and international context, involving
transnational linkages and experiences from other countries in a
comparative perspective.<br />
Conference languages are both German and English (simultaneous translation is provided). The event is open to the public.<br />
<br />
The
aim of the conference is to prepare for a tightly integrated
publication. Thus all contributors are invited to explicitly address
both questions outlined above. We suggest analysing the role of one or
several actors in order to cover the issue of change in environmental
policy in a broader perspective in a first part. In a second part,
contributors may zoom in on the impact and consequences of Chernobyl on
the policy and the responses and reactions of their respective actors.<br />

<br />
Tomorrow they will hear from local experts and share their knowledge at a workshop in Kyiv. On Thursday to Friday they will travel to the Exclusion Zone to see the place for themselves and meet with some of those who were evacuated after the accident but have since returned.<br />
<br />
Then, on 11 July, another group of network members will gather in the city of Perm <span class="st">on the banks of the Kama River near the Ural Mountains. They will visit the cities of Perm and Ekaterinburg and surrounding areas, looking particularly at how a history of mining activities has shaped this region.</span><br />

During the twentieth century, the Soviet Union turned the
Kola Peninsula in the northwest corner of the country into one of the most
populated, industrialized, militarized, and polluted parts of the Arctic. This
transformation suggests, above all, that environmental relations fundamentally
shaped the Soviet experience. Interactions with the natural world both enabled
industrial livelihoods and curtailed socialist promises. Nature itself was a
participant in the communist project. Taking a long-term comparative
perspective, The Nature of Soviet Power sees Soviet environmental history as
part of the global pursuit for unending economic growth among modern states.
This in-depth exploration of railroad construction, the mining and processing
of phosphorus-rich apatite, reindeer herding, nickel and copper smelting, and
energy production in the region examines Soviet cultural perceptions of nature,
plans for development, lived experiences, and modifications to the physical
world. While Soviet power remade nature, nature also remade Soviet power. </div>

book’s conceptual framework is truly innovative and makes a much-needed
intervention in the vast literature on sustainability. Writing against
the ‘techno-fix mentality’ that dominates so many contemporary
environmental discourses, the editors persuasively argue for the need to
resurrect ‘older technologies for a new purpose.’” · Edward D. Melillo,

fascinating case studies ranging from the Early Modern secondhand trade
to utopian visions of human-powered vehicles, the contributions
gathered here explore the historical fortunes of two such
technologies—bicycling and waste recycling—tracing their development
over time and providing valuable context for the policy successes and
failures of today."</span><br />

<span lang="EN-US">The book emphasizes the reality that
environmental conditions don’t exist in a vacuum. They’re influenced by
science, politics, history, public policy, culture, economics, public attitudes
and competing priorities, as well as past human decisions. In the case of
Central Asia, such Soviet-era decisions include irrigation systems and physical
infrastructure that are now crumbling, mine tailings that leach pollutants into
soil and groundwater, and abandoned factories that are physically decrepit and
contaminated with toxic chemicals.</span></div>

2015. The group met in Ulan-Ude and visited various places on and around
the lake including the Barguzin Nature Reserve (Russia’s first
Zapovednik), the Ushkanyi Islands (home to the nerpa – the endemic
Baikal ringed seals <i><span class="st">Pusa sibirica</span></i>),
Olkhon island (with its important Buriat sites), finishing up in
Irkutsk. Several workshops were held and local experts were involved.<br />
