Opis

The emergence of green parties throughout Europe during 80s marked the arrival of a new form of political movement. This book includes individual case studies and a comparative perspective to bring together international specialists engaged in the study of green parties. It renews and expands our knowledge about the green party family in Europe.

Recenzje

’Rich case studies and broad comparative analyses trace and explain the evolution and practices of Europe's Green parties as members of a common political family shaped by distinctive national contexts. This volume stands as a major contribution to the study of Green parties and their place in contemporary European democratic politics.’ R.K. Carty, The University of British Columbia, Canada ’Party research from the 1980s on has shown clearly that the greens are truly a new party family. Subsequent research zoomed in on particular cases and on particular aspects of the green parties, providing sharp but partial pictures of some of the family members. This book therefore truly fills a gap. It is a long overdue new family picture of the green political parties.’ Kris Deschouwer, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium
