| description | The location and building of big hazardous infrastructures is a typical feature of the
modernization process, in all countries and epochs. Since they are usually useful for a large
region but their impact is very localized, the people living around the places where these
facilities are active, or where their building is planned, very often organize and perform
protest activities against them.
Starting from the presentation of recent data about these issues in Italy, considered as
a good example of a liberal democracy country, the article is set to discuss their social
and political consequences, focusing in particular on the so-called “NIMBY syndrome”, its
development and the strategies elaborated by public and private actors to cope with it. |
