the re-conceptualisation of core ideas and strategies defining US environmentalism;
questions of identity and relations with other advocacy groups (including labour, global justice and women s groups);
institutional change (especially the shift away from regulatory policies and approaches);
the expanding arenas of activism, to both above and below the state;
environmentalists response to Bush administration policies and priorities.
