ABSTRACT
The political profile of green parties is predominantly related to the new issues and the new style of political participation and communication. Most green parties follow an ideology that consists of strong concerns equal rights, strong ecological and anti-nuclear power thinking, solidarity with the Third World, demands for unilateral disarmament, and a general left-wing egalitarian disposition. The development of green parties in Western Europe is more advanced than anywhere else. Green parties exist in nearly all Western European party systems. Green parties also give assurance to their voters that they are doing something on a parliamentary level about the causes of their discontent. Several of the questions regarding the political relevance of green parties cannot be answered without a close examination of the "birth" and the "life" of these parties in each country. In Japan, a national green party was formed in 1983. They participated in the 1983 local and national elections.
