EN

The article introduces the conceptual categories of contentious politics which provide for relational and reflexive analysis of collective political action. Such categories of analysis contain necessary normative distance, which enables the inclusion of such phenomena that have not been analytically scrutinized by the empirically exclusive and normatively charged conceptual categories of civil society and the new social movements. The article also discusses the selected aspects of environmental contention in Slovakia, focusing on the framing processes and interactions of the contested agendas and on their (de)politicizing potentials.
