Although the movement has been explored extensively in academia, its take on civil defence systems has not been mapped in the previous research. This thesis examines preparedness, activism and civilian advisory relating to nuclear mishaps in the UK from the beginnings of the nuclear disarmament movement to the current day. I scrutinise these topics through the concept of risk society, a theory developed by sociologists Ulrich Beck and Anthony Giddens, which describes the birth of incalculable risks accelerated by the advancement of technology and constant need of expertise to contain the potential hazards it causes. I conducted seven semi-structured interviews with eight nuclear disarmament activists who live in different parts of Britain. The analysis of these interviews utilises critical discourse analysis, that is based on Norman Fairclough’s stance on discourse in modernity to support the theoretical approach to risk society. This study explored three different discourses that emerged from the interviews: the discourse of distrust, the discourse of injustice, and the discourse of worry of forgetting. The first of these is related to a governmental approach to addressing the public on civil defence and how the activists found this information unreliable. The second discourse involved presenting the social wrong created by nuclear weapons in different levels of governance. The last discourse presents concerns about the movement diminishing in the future. This worry results from the youth focusing on other fields of activism, such as climate change awareness, while the membership of nuclear disarmament movement declines. These aspects provide a viewpoint on the current state of civil defence in Britain and also shows how the public acknowledges it. All provided discourses connect to Beck’s organised irresponsibility, which highlights the absence of connection between the decision-makers and the rest of the population. Civil defence has dropped out from public discussion along with nuclear weapons, which is inimical for both the nuclear disarmament movement and preparedness level of the population. Keywords: nuclear disarmament movement, civil defence, United Kingdom, risk society, critical discourse analysis. The originality of this thesis has been checked using the Turnitin OriginalityCheck service. Acknowledgements This study would not have been possible without financial support from Teemu Tuominen Crisis Management Fund. With this I was able to meet my informants in person and have a sneak peek for the archives in the British Library and the London School of Economics. I am extremely grateful for Minna Vähäsalo from Finnish Committee of 100 for contacting me with the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, and its Secretary Sarah Medi Jones to forwarding my interview invitation, and all of the members of the movement who were willing to provide their help. I am thankful for my informants in particular, as they welcomed me to their homes and shared their interesting insights with me. I would also like to thank Joonas Lintunen, who supported me with the technical aspects of the thesis, such as recording the interviews and providing an application for transcription.

There may be differences between this version and the published version. You are advised to consult the publisher’s version if you wish to cite from it. http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/189346/ Deposited on: 1 July 2019 Enlighten – Research publications by members of the University of Glasgow http://eprints.gla.ac.uk 1 From the Cold War to the Kosovo War: Yugoslavia and the British Labour Party1 The protracted and violent collapse of Yugoslavia was one of the profound international crises following the end of the Cold War. The inability of the United Nations to stop the bloodshed, the retreat of Russian power alongside the failure of the European powers to reach a common approach, and the ultimate deployment of US-led NATO forces to settle the Bosnian War and later to conduct the Kosovo War exposed the unlikelihood of what George H.W. Bush had hailed as a ‘new world order’ based on collective security. The wars of succession in the former Yugoslavia in fact provided the spring-board for a different vision of global security under American hegemony, which would characterise in particular George W. Bush’s project to reshape global affairs in the new millennium (Rees, 2006, esp. pp. 34-35). It is unsurprising in this context that scholarly production relating to the collapse of Yugoslavia and its importance for international relations has been immense (for a recent short overview: Baker 2015).

  • Memories on a Monday: Peace Monday 11 May 2020
    Memories on a Monday: Peace Monday 11 May 2020 Welcome to Memories on a Monday: Peace - sharing our heritage from Bruce Castle Museum & Archive. Following the commemorative events last week of VE Day, we turn now to looking at some of the ways we have marked peace in our communities in Haringey, alongside the strong heritage of the peace movement and activism in the borough. In July 2014, a memorial was unveiled alongside the woodland in Lordship Recreation Ground in Tottenham. Created by local sculptor Gary March, the sculpture shows two hands embracing a dove, the symbol of peace. Its design and installation followed a successful a campaign initiated by Ray Swain and the Friends of Lordship Rec to dedicate a permanent memorial to over 40 local people who tragically lost their lives in September 1940. They died following a direct hit by a high-explosive bomb falling on the Downhills public air raid shelter. It was the highest death toll in Tottenham during the Second World War. (You can see the sculpture and read more about this tragedy here and also here from the Summerhill Road website). Three years before, in Stroud Green, a Peace Garden was named and unveiled in 2011. It commemorates the 15 people who died, 35 people who were seriously injured, the destruction of 12 houses and the severe damage of Holy Trinity Church and 100 other homes in the area. The details below, can be read on the attached PDF. The Peace Garden Board can be found in the garden, at the junction where Stapleton Hall Road meets Granville Road, N4.
