Abstract
Environmental and green politics came into prominance during the last two decades.
These two concepts, as well as environmentalism and ecologism are defined in this
study and placed within the context of the political system. The emphasis is on green
politics and ecologism. The global green movement is analysed according to policy,
organisational structures and pattern of development.
The South African environmental and green movements are described in the latter part
of the study. It is shown that South Africa has a long history of environmentalism. The
South African green movement is compared with the global green movement after which
it is placed within the context of the South African political system. Green politics in
South Africa seems to resemble the early stages of the development of the European
movement and the concept of social justice is emphasised.
Selected Western Cape groups are discussed according to information gathered by means
of a questionnaire.
