Abstract

Examines the patterns in social networks emerging in coalitions of environmental groups opposed to the road improvement initiative in Northern Ireland, the "M1/Westlink corridor." After identifying major actors involved in opposing the project -- reflecting individuals' multiple membership in various organizations -- their relations with organized sociopolitical groups committed to environmental/planning agendas in Northern Ireland are examined. As a broad mobilizing campaign with a polarizing sociopolitical impact, environmental issues help to build & reinforce new heterogeneous solidarities between traditionally conflictual Catholic-Nationalist vs Protestant-Unionist groups, & unite individuals with diverse cultural, political, & social backgrounds. 5 Tables, 17 References.
