Abstract

Over the past few decades, environmentalism has been gaining increased popularity and it seems nowthat almost the whole world has gone green. However, is it really so? Political ideology has been and remains oneof the key factors influencing the policy-making process and environmental governance, be it global, regional ornational. There have been many attempts to integrate green thought into classical ideologies, such as liberalism,conservatism, socialism, which have not been equally successful due to differences in the core concepts of namedsocial philosophies. Whatever the case, the extent to which environmentalism will prove to be potent at “greening”existing political ideologies is likely to influence the future of global environmental governance. This article aims at discovering the different “shades of green” that have emerged to date through this process. 

Keywords
