Counter-Hegemony: How Green Parties Challenge Capitalism as a Dominant Ideology

Bachelor thesis | Politicologie (BSc)

Are Green parties part of a counter-hegemony, and, in how much do fundamentalist and pragmatists influence this? This question is addressed by the content analysis of 14 election manifestos of Green parties situated in the Global North. In these documents the the economic policy proposals, as well as ideological standpoints in regards to ecologism were examined. By the analysis it has become clear that Green parties do propose alternatives within the capitalist economy, yet no plans to overturn this system. Therefore, the expectation that Green parties are part of a counter-hegemony is unfounded.
