parties revolve around not whether to embrace power, but what to do with it. More specifically,
green parties face 3 new challenges in the new millennium: first, how to carve out a policy
niche as established parties and governments become wiser to green demands, and as green
concerns themselves appear more mainstream. Second, how to make green ideas beyond the
confines of rich industrialised states into Eastern Europe and the developing world where green
parties remain marginal and environmental issues acute. Third, how to ensure that the broader
role of green parties- as consciousness raisers, agitators, conscience of parliament and politics- is
not sacrificed on the altar of electoral success. Green parties have come a long way since their
emergence and development in the 1970s and 1980s. They have become established players able
to shape party competition, government formation, and government policy. But this very
„establishment carries risk for a party whose core values and identities depend mightily on their
ability to challenge the conventional order, to agitate and to annoy. For most green parties, the
greatest fear is not electoral decline so much as the prospect of becoming a party with
parliamentary platform, ministerial voice, but nothing to say.
