This article examines the women's protest camps at RAF Greenham Common cruise missile base, Berkshire, England, between 1981 and 1990. Using new evidence from government correspondence in the Home Office archives, it argues that the legal status of the common and its history were key determinants of how the protest camps were policed and repeatedly evicted. The processes of eviction were determined by the complex layers of landownership, common rights, and legislation relating to commons and roadside verges. Protesters developed spatial and legal tactics during the processes of eviction, while sharing broader imaginings of an ideal of commons as publicly accessible to all. This article places Greenham Common in the context of the Conservative government's reaction to other protest and social movements in the countryside that ultimately shaped the formation of public order legislation in 1986 and 1994.

本文考察了 1981 年至 1990 年间英国伯克郡皇家空军格林纳姆公共巡航导弹基地的妇女抗议营地。本文利用内政部档案中政府信件中的新证据，认为公共场所的法律地位及其历史是关键抗议营地如何受到监管和反复驱逐的决定因素。驱逐的过程是由复杂的土地所有权、共同权利以及与公地和路边相关的立法决定的。抗议者在驱逐过程中制定了空间和法律策略，同时分享了对所有人都可以公开访问的公地理想的更广泛的想象。
