| dc.description.abstract | Aside from its unique historical path in regard to racism/nationalism and the protection of nature, Germany has also an original character in how it associates these concepts. Observing a concern with environmental protection/sensitiveness and the most terrifying political/racist regime ever witnessed in the same geography, and the establishment of a theoretical interface between the two, is a matter of considerable concern. While it can be concluded that environmentalism and fascism were in a complex alignment, the conclusion drawn after questioning and analyzing the nature of the alignment is rather different. This paper focuses on the environmental history of green ideas in far-right politics through a discussion of the historical ‘legacy’ and development of the fascist ideology and practice, namely the Nazi ideology and political period. Taking into consideration that Germany historically followed a unique path toward the concepts of racism/nationalism, and nature protection/environmental ‘sensitivity’ that reverberated within the Nazi Ecology, both theoretically and in practice, their scrutiny becomes vital if we are to understand the nature of the far-right thinking that leads today’s political parties, ideologies, social movements and political ecologies. | |
