Green parties have seldom been seen as representatives of an individual party family. Most scholars perceive them as part of a larger ‘New Politics’ or ‘Left-Libertarian’ party family, composed by green and new left political parties. Nevertheless, it has been generally accepted that their original unequivocal commitment to horizontal organisational structures, pacifism and protest politics –among others-was placing green parties at the most radical end within the ‘New Politics/Left-Libertarian’ party family. During the 1990s there has been an observable move of green parties to ‘a logic of electoral competition’ that has altered their physiognomy (more hierarchic organisations, more emphasis on parliamentary politics) and brought them closer to their new left counterparts. Since the available literature has always recognised that green parties have been competing for the same electoral clientele with new left parties, as well as social-democratic parties in certain national contexts (France, Germany for e.g.), it is now important, to re-evaluate, complement and update existing theorisation on this relationship. In this direction, this panel invites theoretically informed comparative and single case studies examining one or more aspects of this relationship, such as: 1. Electoral manifestoes of green and new left parties, similarities and differences. 2. The electoral competition between green and new left parties. Intra-party conflict within the ranks of both party types and its impact on inter-party competition.
