Policymakers must decide not only where to locate often unwanted projects but also what methods to use when interacting with opposition groups. In Site Fights, Daniel P. Aldrich gathers quantitative evidence from close to five hundred municipalities across Japan to show that planners deliberately seek out acquiescent and unorganized communities for such facilities in order to minimize conflict. When protests arise over nuclear power plants, dams, and airports, agencies regularly rely on the coercive powers of the modern state, such as land expropriation and police repression. Only under pressure from civil society do policymakers move toward financial incentives and public relations campaigns. Through fieldwork and interviews with bureaucrats and activists, Aldrich illustrates these dynamics with case studies from Japan, France, and the United States. The incidents highlighted in Site Fights stress the importance of developing engaged civil society even in the absence of crisis, thereby making communities both less attractive to planners of controversial projects and more effective at resisting future threats. 606 $aIndustrial location$zJapan 606 $aIndustrial location$zFrance 606 $aIndustrial policy$zJapan 606 $aIndustrial policy$zFrance 615 0$aIndustrial location 615 0$aIndustrial location 615 0$aIndustrial policy 615 0$aIndustrial policy 676 $a338.6/0420952 700 $aAldrich$b Daniel P$01146858 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818163403321 996 $aSite fights$93956170 997 $aUNINA
