The resemblances and differences will then be linked to the social movement theory and be justified. As a matter of fact, the social movement theory will be used as a tool to explain the similar formation of the two Green Movements. This will allow studying the Green Movements in East and West Germany with an innovative sociological vision completing the already existing historical analysis of both movements. The formation of the movements that corresponds to the gathering of the core elements necessary for collective action to be qualified as a social movement, are the focus of the thesis.Show less
