"This book explains and demonstrates how the Norwegian case of environmentalism is
unique. The two connected anomalies of an inclusive and state friendly society and
a strong orientation and commitment to local communities make the case stand apart
from mainstream international definitions of environmentalism. The authors study a
specific political culture with a rather unique combination of state structure and
civil society of which organized environmentalism is an important part. The political
culture influences organizational form and organizational ideology as well as the
way these organistions are linked to and interact with the goverment. The study shows
why international non-government organizations (INGOs) which are successful elsewhere,
such as Greenpeace, are unable to establish themselves in some countries. The study
compares Norwegian environmentalism with perspectives and findings from other political
systems. More generally, this is also a study on the role of voluntary organizations
and civil society in a specific type of democracy. The book throws light on why the
working of the Norwegian political system - as well as the Scandinavian political
systems more generally - is often misunderstood in the international literature."--Publisher's
