> Call for paper: Old and new territorial conflicts and movements
>
> Territorial conflicts and LULU movements (Locally Unwanted Land Use) occur for a long time in Italy and have become increasingly widespread since the early years of the new millennium. The protest campaigns against large-scale infrastructures (No TAV in Val di Susa, No Bridge on the Messina Straits) and industrial plants (No incinerators), landfill (No dump in Chiaiano), military bases (No dal Molin in Vicenza), and other works considered harmful not only to the environment and health, but also economically and socially, have been the subject of studies and research in the past years by political and social scientists, through the use of categories and conceptual frameworks developed in the field of research on social movements and unconventional political participation. The findings showed that very often these conflicts were only apparently localist, the Nimby label was inappropriate in describing and explaining them, how these movements were formed by heterogeneous networks of individual and collective actors, with frames that went beyond the local dimension and a reach of action often regional and national, if not transnational, and they were linked and intertwined with the global justice movement.
> In recent years, the first of the second decade of the century, some of these conflicts have become more acute, as the No TAV in Val di Susa, others have emerged to public attention not only locally, as the No Muos (the opposition to the construction of a U.S. Navy satellite plant in the military base of Niscemi in Sicily), others have gone off. Some of these old and new Lulu movements were radicalized and have suffered the tightening of repressive institutional strategies, but they also built relationships and connections with other movements such as those against austerity and for the right to housing. In other cases, leading members of these movements are directly involved in the local, national or European political-electoral level. Are the conclusions reached in previous research sufficient to explain the more recent conflicts and movements, and the evolution of those of longer duration, or we need an update of these studies and a review of the conceptual and methodological frameworks? In the panel contributions related to the territorial conflicts and Lulu movements are welcome, both based on empirical research (comparative or case studies), which investigate on networks and organizational structures, framing processes and construction of collective identities, forms and strategies of action relations with political institutions and with other territorial and social movements; both those theoretical and analytical contributions that reflect the adequacy of the analytical categories and methodological tools used to study and explain them.
