This book explains and demonstrates how the Norwegian case of
environmentalism is unique. The two connected anomalies of an
inclusive and state friendly society and a strong orientation and
commitment to local communities make the case stand apart from
mainstream international definitions of environmentalism.
The authors study a specific political culture with a rather
unique combination of state structure and civil society of which
organized environmentalism is an important part. The political
culture influences organizational form and organizational ideology
as well as the way these organistions are linked to and interact
with the goverment. The study shows why international
non-government organizations (INGOs) which are successful
elsewhere, such as Greenpeace, are unable to establish themselves
in some countries.
The study compares Norwegian environmentalism with perspectives
and findings from other political systems. More generally, this is
also a study on the role of voluntary organizations and civil
society in a specific type of democracy. The book throws light on
why the working of the Norwegian political system a" as well as the
Scandinavian political systems more generally a" is often
misunderstood in the international literature.
