Synopsis

Green Parties and Politics in the European Union explores the transnational goals, strategies and impact of green actors working at the EU level. Elizabeth Bomberg argues that the 'greening' of European politics and the advancement of European integration are inextricably linked and that the EU presents a strategic dilemma to Green parties. In short, how can Greens reconcile their radical, alternative politics with the EU's mainstream, traditional institutions and practices? This dilemma informs all aspects of the Green's European policy, their visions of an alternative Europe and their impact on European policies and politics.

About this title

Product Description:

Bomberg argues the 'greening' of European politics and the advancement of European integration are inextricably linked and that the EU presents a strategic dilemma to Green parties. In short, how can Greens reconcile their radical, alternative politics with the EU's mainstream, traditional institutions and practices? Bomberg's analysis is based on over 100 interviews with leading green politicians, NGO members, environmental and industrial lobbyists, EU officials and MEPs. She includes appendices showing profiles of green parties in European countries, and key policy-making institutions

Review:

"This is a book that deserves a wide readership, from scholars to practiioners to undergraduates to the educated public interested in European and Green Politics. Rare is the book that is of use to both researchers and beginning students. It is clearly written, coherently organized, cogently argued: a model of comparative public policy scholarship. [Steve Breyman, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY]."
