Shell, Greenpeace and the Brent Spar, Hardcover by Jordan, A. G.; Jordan, Grant, ISBN 0333745469, ISBN-13 9780333745465, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UK In 1995 members of the environmental group Greenpeace occupied the first redundant North Sea oil platform, Brent Spar, which petroleum giant Shell had planned to dump in the Atlantic in violation of agreements it had made with the British government. Shell changed its plans. Jordan (politics, U. of Aberdeen) analyzes the political battle between the two forces and its consequences for Shell, the oil industry in general, Greenpeace, and the understanding of democracy. Among the questions he raises are the effectiveness of single-issue organizations in contrast to broad political parties, and whether Shell's accommodation will prove a temporary expedient or a precedent.
