The Activists: Making Crises Happen

Tom Curtin, Daniel Hayman and Naomi Husein

Chapter Chapter 8 in Managing a Crisis, 2005, pp 64-71 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Beginning with the environmental groups in the 1960s, today activist groups surround almost every industry and sector. The environmental movement is now a huge industry, with turnovers measured in billions of dollars. Although they try to portray themselves as altruistic amateurs, nothing could be further from the truth. These are finely honed, well-financed and highly efficient publicity machines. Just ask Shell, Exxon, Monsanto, Nestlé or almost any multinational.
