Conclusion: from Politics of Nature to Redefining the Nature of Politics

Abstract

This book traced the formation and transformations of the evolving political ideologies of two compound collective political actors, the German and British Green parties, which emerged in the 1970s in advanced industrial democracies. While the British Greens made it to the European Parliament, but never to the House of Commons, the German Greens, after 15 years as a Bundestag opposition party, made it to the coalition. Each party evolved under fundamentally different political circumstances. Both parties developed a modular New Politics ideology.
