Umweltpolitik in Griechenland: Vom symbolischen Schutz zur Nachhaltigkeit?
Environmental Policy in Greece: Moving from Symbolic to Sustainable Environmental Protection?

Summary/Abstract: Environmental policy in Greece is a stepchild of social science research. This is also true for the non-governmental actors in this political field. It is noteworthy because the environmental “scene” seems to be quite active and rich in tradition in Greece. In part the paper explains this by blaming older concepts to be blind towards new politics like environmental policy. Besides, a closer look at environmental policy opens up an interesting situation – civil society relation that turns some prejudice upside down: a weak state and a strong civil society. Nevertheless this does not mean that environment in Greece is protected well.
