Germany enjoys an enviably green reputation. Environmentalists in other countriesapplaud its strict environmental laws, its world-class green technology firms, its phase-out ofnuclear power, and its influential Green Party. Germans are proud of these achievements, andenvironmentalism has become part of the German national identity. In The GreenestNation? Frank Uekotter offers an overview of the evolution of German environmentalismsince the late nineteenth century. He discusses, among other things, early efforts at natureprotection and urban sanitation, the Nazi experience, and civic mobilization in the postwar years.He shows that much of Germany's green reputation rests on accomplishments of the 1980s, andemphasizes the mutually supportive roles of environmental nongovernmental organizations,corporations, and the state. Uekotter looks at environmentalism in terms of civic activism,government policy, and culture and life, eschewing the usual focus on politics, prophets, and NGOs.He also views German environmentalism in an international context, tracing transnational networks ofenvironmental issues and actions and discussing German achievements in relation to global trends.Bringing his discussion up to the present, he shows the influence of the past on today'senvironmental decisions. As environmentalism is wrestling with the challenges of the twenty-firstcentury, Germany could provide a laboratory for the rest of the world.
Frank Uekotter is Reader in Environmental Humanities at the University of Birmingham (UK). He is the author of The Green and the Brown: A History of Conservation in Nazi Germany, The Age of Smoke: Environmental Policy in Germany and the United States, 1880--1970, and other books.
