| Sommario/riassunto: | The massive expansion of global aviation, its insatiable demand for airport capacity and its growing contribution to carbon emissions make it a critical societal problem. Alongside traditional concerns about noise and air pollution, airport politics has been connected to the problems of climate change and peak oil. Yet it is still thought to be a driver of economic growth and connectivity in an increasingly mobile world. This book provides an in-depth analysis of the protest campaigns and policymaking practices that have marked British aviation since the construction of Heathrow Airport. |
