Abstract
This article examines the ways in which the institutionalisation of ecological action affects the structure, the directions, and the orientation of Greek environmentalism today. The understanding of present-day characteristics of Greek environmentalism is based on a diachronic analysis of its different stages of development. Today, its institutional upgrading is not an effect of the movements power but, rather, a result of state initiatives and of functional requirements that relate to the process of Greeks integration into the European Union. Although these new characteristics of ecological action are discussed in the Greek context, they are also assessed as having a broader theoretical significance in the overall debate on social movements.
