Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to consider the difficulties of nature conservation movements in Japan based on the case of" Ikego Forest Conservation Movement" in Zushi city, Kanagawa prefecture (that is, Ikego US military housing units protest movement), especially focusing on well known ‘political weakness’
of this kind of ‘New Social Movements’. We will find that the movement's difficulties and political weakness of Ikego case can be explain from the view point of` Paradox of subjects' at identity politics on their" full-time citizen"s Movement. When we get the recognition of that ‘Paradox of subjects’ can be avoid by ‘Bricolage Strategy’, we notice that the political weakness of Nature Conservation Movements as New Social Movements is not inevitable.
