Summary/Abstract: Contentious Politics and (Environmental) New Social Movements: Reflecting on the Relevant Categories of Analysis. 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 scrutinised by empirically exclusive and normatively charged conceptual categories of civil society and new social movements. Article also discusses selected aspects of environmental contention in Slovakia, focusing on the framing processes and interactions of the contested agendas and on their (de)politicizing potentials.
