This paper offers a comparative analysis of the struggles over nuclear power in the western democracies of the USA, France and West Germany during the past two decades. It describes the courses, strategies, organizations, action repertoires and outcomes of these struggles. It pays particular attention to an interpretive concept which focuses on political opportunity structures, and argues that this concept, in its present form, is too simplistic to adequately explainthe diversity of oppositional movement actors, strategies and action repertoires. Suggestions are offered for developing a more complex analytical concept.
