Preferred term

green political theory  

Definition(s)

  • What constitutes green political theory is contested; at a minimum, it is a form of normative theory that has, as a central and defining focus, a concern for the protection of the natural environment. On this minimal reading, many forms of political thought that seek explicit environmental ends would count as “green.” On a maximal account, green political thought has to be in pursuit of not merely environmental ends, but a fundamental restructuring of the institutional bases of economic and political life, along decentralized, deindustrialized, and participatory lines to bring about a truly ecological society.
