Greens of a Different Shade? The Greek Party for the Animals
Available research has established that animal advocacy parties, albeit constituting a distinctive party family, have many similarities with green parties. However, this assessment has been based on analyses of animal advocacy parties’ political/election manifestos. In this research, we revisit this question for the youngest European animal advocacy party, the Greek Komma gia ta Zoa ( KZ , Party for the Animals, established in 2020), through an a…
The Narrative Cycle of Climate Change in the Greek Newspapers, 2001–2008
This paper aims to establish whether the longitudinal framing of climate change (CC) in Greek newspapers exhibits the characteristics of a “narrative cycle,” with different themes becoming prominent at different periods in accordance with the media’s narrative considerations. In order to test this assumption, we formulate a number of hypotheses which we test with data originating from three Greek newspapers over the period 2001–2008. We find that…
Is the ‘Troika’ Bad for the Environment? An Analysis of EU Countries' Environmental Performance in Times of Economic Downturn and Austerity Memoranda
Seeing the Wind (Farm)
This research investigates the reception of the visual representations of a wind farm (WF) development by local stakeholders. Using non-verbal Qmethodology, residents of Lesvos’ island, Greece, sort images according to how these images represented their opinion about the proposed Aegean Link WF project. We found three opinion types. The “Risk Averter” type is focused on the various risks of constructing and operating the Aegean Link wind developm…
Climate Change Coverage in Greek Newspapers
This paper's aim is to identify the debate and document the coverage of climate change (CC) in the Greek national press and to assess to what extent this reporting exhibits the traits anticipated by the “polarized pluralist” character of the Greek “media system.” In order to do this, we analyzed articles published in three Greek quality newspapers (Kathimerini, Ta NEA, and Eleftherotypia) over the period 2001–2008 (N =2072). Our findings suggest …
Conflicting Climate Change Frames in a Global Field of Media Discourse
Reducing global emissions will require a global cosmopolitan culture built from detailed attention to conflicting national climate change frames (interpretations) in media discourse. The authors analyze the global field of media climate change discourse using 17 diverse cases and 131 frames. They find four main conflicting dimensions of difference: validity of climate science, scale of ecological risk, scale of climate politics, and support for m…
Extending the Theory of Planned Behavior in the context of recycling
Climbing to the Rooftop, Falling off, yet Landing on One’s Feet (and Finding a Wallet on the Pavement)
After a prolonged period of feeble electoral success, the Ecologists Greens (Ecogreens) managed to break into the Greek political landscape by electing one MEP in the 2009 European election. However, that electoral success proved to be quite short-lived, since in the years to follow the Greek Greens faded away. They were divided and faced the threat of political extinction, only to be resuscitated at the national election of 2015 by allying thems…
Financial Giving of Foundations and Businesses to Environmental NGOs
This paper studies how foundations and businesses decide which environmental NGOs to fund. Since not all funding requests can be satisfied, donors have to evaluate applicants and select just a few. We argue that their selection is based on the evaluation of the applicant ENGO’s various aspects of “legitimacy” (Suchman, Acad Manage Rev, 20(3): 571–610, 1995). We test this claim by using data from 14 in-depth interviews with representatives of Gree…
Accounting for Difficulties faced in Materializing a Transnational Engo Conservation Network
This paper investigates a rarely visited theme in academic research, namely the reasons hindering successful trans-national networking of environmental nongovernmental organizations (ENGOs). We visit this theme by analyzing the MEDSETCON initiative, an attempt in the late 1990s-early 2000s to create a Mediterranean Sea Turtle Conservation network, which ultimately bore no fruit. Prior research had emphasized the role played by individual and orga…
Newspaper Reporters’ Priorities and Beliefs About Environmental Journalism
This article assesses the variety of discourses articulated by journalists reporting on environmental issues. In particular, it investigates how environmental journalists perceive their role and function as reporters of environmental issues as well as the problems they face while reporting. The authors interviewed 23 newspaper reporters covering environmental issues for the nine largest (in terms of daily circulation) daily Greek newspapers, by e…
The Influence of Social Capital on Willingness to Pay for the Environment Among European Citizens
Social capital has been recognized as one of the most influential concepts in social and political sciences. It is assumed that it has significant influence on several issues such as health status, educational achievement and environmental attitudes. In the present article we attempt to investigate the influence of social capital on the tendency of European citizens to contribute money for the environment using data from EVS 1999/2000. Firstly, a…
The influence of social capital on environmental policy instruments
The literature connecting social capital with natural resources management has increased significantly in the past decade. Several studies have indicated that higher levels of social capital may lead to improved environmental management by communities. In this context, a multidimensional concept of social capital is used and its connection with environmental policy implementation is explored. The social capital components investigated are: social…
Grassroots mobilisations against waste disposal sites in Greece
The government of Greece has gained notoriety for its failure to implement EU environmental directives in general, and is criticised specifically for its lack of an effective plan for the safe disposal of waste. Local mobilisations against a series of planned ‘Sanitary Waste Disposal Sites’ (HETAs) in three municipalities of Attica are examined. Should such protests be classified as NIMBY (not in my backyard)? Or do they present broader claims of…
The environmental impact assessment auditing process in Greece
This article presents the findings of nation-wide research of Greek prefectural environmental bureaus (EBs) dealing with environmental impact assessment and auditing (EIA&A). The research was conducted through a questionnaire mailed to the heads of the EBs, tackling a number of quantitative and qualitative issues. Based on the answers received (a 73% response rate) it finds that the Greek EBs are suffering from (specialised) staff and equipment s…
Clinging on? The Cypriot Greens
On 21 May 2006 parliamentary elections were held on Cyprus, effectively in theGreek-speaking part of the country, as has happened ever since the Turkishinvasion and the de facto partition of the island in 1974. Although Cyprus is apresidential republic, elections for the House of Representatives are especiallyimportant for minor parties, since they present them with a chance to enter thepolitical spotlight and, if successful, to launch themselves…
Introduction
Green Party Factionalism
To date, the Federation of Ecologists Alternatives (FEA) is the only Greek green party to have achieved representation in Parliament. Based on written accounts of the period and in-depth interviews with the main protagonists, this article offers a theoretical explanation of FEAs short-lived trajectory (1989–92), describing it as a case of ‘primordial factionalism’: a case of intra-party factionalism stemming from externally imposed stresses rathe…
