Technological protest in West Germany: signs of a politicization of production?

Abstract

Conrad, J., 1990. Technological protest in West Germany: signs of a politicization of produc tion ? Industrial Crisis Quarterly, 4: 175-191. This study deals with the question of whether the increasing number of social conflicts around technology in general, as well as around specific technological projects, can be reasonably interpreted as evidence of a substantive politiciza tion of production in advanced capitalist democracies with historically new social problems and cleavages. The socio-economic conditions and determi nants of technological protest and the characteristics of the German protest development are described. The available research results provide some sup port for the above hypothesis but do not allow any stringent conclusions to be drawn, for reasons related to the pattern of protest development hitherto ob servable, and to deficits in social science research.
