Friends of the earth international: Negotiating a transnational identity

Article Abstract:

The relationships between majority (South) and minority (North) world environmental groups are assessed by focusing on one of the largest transnational environmental organizations, called Friends of the Earth International (FoEI), a federation of autonomous groups from 71 countries. It is found that FoEI offers the most inclusive organizational structure, in which northern and southern environmentalism interact and groups sought to re-examine their core principles.

Article Abstract:

A global green public sphere and the global governance state intersect with the politics of environmentalism, which shows that the politics of green concern transmute into a myriad of different collective forms. Despite this diversity of responses found within and between environmental groups, it crosses boundaries in a positive way, thus revealing that environment can be used to support democracy or alternatively, to support authoritarianism.
