When green parties emerged in the 1980s, not only did they question
established ideas about nature and economic growth, they also
challenged the 'iron law' of Roberto Michels that all parties
inevitably follow a similar path towards informal concentration of
power and oligarchy. Grass-roots democracy was both an ideological
tenet and an organizational project for practically all green
parties. These days the greens have lost their glamour and
innocence. They have grown up and even joined governing coalitions
in several countries. Did they leave grass-roots democracy by the
roadside on the way to power? This book investigates to what extent
green parties have remained true to their identity or have been
transformed. Country specialists analyze the development of green
parties in 14 countries across the world - not only Western Europe
but also Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States.
These analyses also offer clues on broader questions about party
types and party change in contemporary democracies.
