Exclusionary protests in urban Ireland

Abstract

This article examines those collective protests in urban Ireland that aim at excluding some categories of people from the local area. Travellers, drug-users, asylum-seekers, undesirable services such as rehabilitation clinics or community for mentally ill patients represent the main targets of actions by local residents. The distinctive feature of exclusionary protests are analysed in terms of the issues raised, the targets of the action, the participants and the resources which protestors can mobilize. It is argued that this kind of collective activity is not adequately understood in terms of a culturalist reading of the city. Exclusionary protests emerge only in the context of the social relations which structure city life.
