Today, many European countries have green political parties with modest success. However, the existence or measure of the success of the green parties is insufficient to explain the current effect of ecologism on mainstream politics. Most political parties and movements are concerned about advertising with green references. Then how can we explain the effect of ecologism, which is relatively new to politics? And how did green political thought become a distinct international relations theory? Answers to such questions are controversial due to the young and complex nature of the green theory. This chapter explains the main questions about green theory by mentioning major theoretical discussions.
