Subject: The 1984 explosion of the Union Carbide chemical plant in Bhopal, India was indisputably one of the world's worst industrial disasters. Some have argued that the litigaiton following the Bhopal disaster provided an "innovative model" for dealing with the global distribution of technological risk; others consider the disaster a turning point in environmental legislation; still others argue that Bhopal is what globalization looks like on the ground. This book explores these claims by focusing on the dynamics and paradoxes of advocacy in competing power domains.
