Has a new political ideology emerged in the aftermath of the Sixties? Gayil Talshir examines the ideological evolution of green parties in Britain and Germany and traces the formation and transformations of a new type of ideology - a modular ideology. In the 1980s, the 'extraordinary opposition', New Left and ecology movements developed, a distinct and social vision that paved the political road for the transformation of democracy. Talshir explores this journey from the politics of nature to changing the nature of politics.

Over the past four decades the world has seen a 'Green awakening'. Green parties have been elected to parliaments and councils all over the world, and in many cases have played a part in national and local government. A common set of Green priorities has been promoted by Green internationalisation and these parties are playing an increasing role at all levels of political decision-making. Will the Green awakening continue or will Greens be corrupted by power? What impact has Green politics had? Will Green thinking be able to compete with other ideologies in coping with the problems of the 21st century? Green Parties, Green Future analyses these issues on the basis of the experience of Green parties from all parts of the world. Per Gahrton, a sociologist and veteran of Green politics, provides the whole story of the expansion and development of the Greens worldwide, from local environmental groups to national and global decision-makers. This is essential reading for anyone who is or wants to be involved in a political movement that is challenging the more traditional parties for a progressive future. --

"The political success of the German Green Party during the 1980s spearheaded the 'green wave' in other West European democracies. Indeed, despite their defeat in 1990, the Greens still hold the balance of power in several Land parliaments and stand a good chance of making a comeback in the 1994 Bundestag elections." "This book is the first comprehensive account of the organisation ideology and political style of the German Greens. Comparing them to established parties, the book gives a full account of the German party system, and assesses the adaptability of both types of party to a changing social and political environment in the new Europe. It examines intra-party political culture, the social profiles of voters and party activists, and the party's place in the context of the 'New Politics'. A challenging read suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduates studying the West European political system."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The emergence of Green parties throughout Europe during the 1980s marked the arrival of a new form of political movement and a challenge to existing party models. This work presents an in-depth, thematic comparative approach to the analysis of recent Green party development and change, questioning whether the process of party evolution has resulted in the ideological dilution of Green ideals and objectives. With Green parties across Europe experiencing a significant upturn in support in recent years, if we are to gain a clearer picture of the impact Green parties should have in the 21st century we need to understand the issues and themes that have shaped their re-emergence as a more mature political challenge.

Essay from the year 2005 in the subject Politics - Political Systems - General and Comparisons, grade: 1,3, University of Nottingham (School of Politics and International Relations), course: Politics and Society in Europe, a comparative approach, 16 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: The emergence of Green parties towards the end of the 1970s was a significant turning point in the development of party systems in Western Europe. Most of them had been highly stable after World War II until the early 1970s. Therefore, in several countries, the Greens were the first to disrupt the stable party systems of the 1950s and 60s. But why Green parties? And why in the 1970s? And why were and are the Greens in some European countries more successful than in others? And why in a few did they almost completely fail? The aim of this essay is to find answers to the questions mentioned, exploring whether value change, party strategy or institutions are the best explanation for the development of Green parties across Europe. Therefore the essay is divided into two main parts. The first rather small one elaborates in which countries in Western Europe Green parties have played a more or less significant role in the past thirty years and in which countries they haven't. This is rather a descriptive approach answering the question of what is to be analysed in the second part. In this second more analytical part of the paper, the different approaches to explain the emergence of Green parties - value change, party stretegy or institutions - are explored searching for the most convincing one.
