Features: Based on a comprehensive comparative analysis of five Western European Green Party case studies that successively entered national governments in the late 1990s (Finland, Italy, Germany, France, and Belgium), this book examines how the Green Parties, with their evolving political ideology and organizational structures, have become increasingly adaptable to the political needs of the European Union. Although coalition government practices often imply further compromises on ecological political principles rather than "greening" realpolitik.
