          Abstract

          Os estudos sobre protesto e conflito no Reino Unido são dominados há décadas pelas pesquisas sobre o local de trabalho e as atividades sindicais. Nos anos 80 e 90, o declínio dos antigos setores industriais combinou-se com a crescente insegurança econômica e com a legislação governamental, causando um enfraquecimento das organizações de trabalhadores. A greve dos mineiros em 1984-1985 é vista como a última das grandes lutas dos sindicatos. Surgiram, contudo, novas formas de manifestação pública, de cunho ambiental, identificadas como legítimas formas de protesto, que acabaram por influenciar políticas governamentais, em particular no que concerne à crescente exploração de minas de carvão a céu aberto. Nas duas últimas décadas viu-se, assim, a mobilização de uma "nova classe", que veio a formar a espinha dorsal dos novos movimentos sociais e que trouxe questões específicas como a paz e o meio ambiente para o primeiro plano da vida política.

          Translated abstract

          For decades, studies of protest and conflict have been dominated by research into workplaces and union activities. In 1980s and 1990s Britain, the decline of the old industrial sectors combined with increasing economic insecurity and government legislation to create a weakening of workers' organizations. The 1984-85 miners' strike was seen as the last of the unions' great struggles. However, new forms of public demonstration appeared addressing environmental issues; these became identified as legitimate forms of protest and ended up influencing government policies, in particular those relating to the growing exploitation of open-seam coal mining. The last two decades have thus witnessed the mobilization of a `new class' of people who form the backbone of the new social movements and who bring specific questions such as peace and the environment to the forefront of political life.
