Series: Party Families in Europe

The emergence of green parties throughout Europe during the 1980s marked the arrival of a new form of political movement, challenging established models of party politics and putting new issues on the political agenda. Since their emergence, green parties in Europe have faced different destinies; in countries such as Germany, Belgium, Finland, France, and Italy, they have accumulated electoral successes, participated in governments, implemented policies and established themselves as part of the party system. In other countries, their political relevance remains very limited. After more than 30 years on the political scene, green parties have proven to be more than just a temporary phenomenon. They have lost their newness, faced success and failure, power and opposition, grassroots enthusiasm and internal conflicts. Green Parties in Europe 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.

Reviews for Green Parties in Europe

’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
