Is there a need for a green Ideology? The aim of this book is to trigger a discussion about the basics of Green thinking and how to safeguard the Green Global Movement against the traps of power, while at the same time increasing such Green power that is needed for the survival of mankind and all life on earth.
    The book has six contributions. Michael Moon makes an analysis of the concept of ideology from a Green point of view. Per Gahrton has studied a large number of Green political programs and draw from that the conclusion that even if most Green writing is weak on analysis and theory there is a very broad and basic agreement on almost everything with a few notable exeptions. Lotta Hedström asks "why not all Greens are ecofeminists". Angela Aylward asks if Queer Theory is part of Green thinking. Ulf Söderström and Kristian Skånberg try to find remedies to what has been something of an Achilles-heal to Green politics. the lack of a clear economic theory, distinct as well from the prevailing neo-classic liberal-capitalist thinking, as from all kinds of socialist politics.

Ed. Per Gahrton, chairman of Cogito, former MEP and former co-secretary of the European Greens.
