CEVAP:

To make the distinction between Environmentalists and Greens clear, two concepts should be explained; “Thinking Green” and “Green Thought” which are two different approaches problematizing the environmental issues in Internation-al Relations. “Green Thought” is a radically different way of thinking in Interna-tional Relations problematizing relations between human and nature and construction of social practices. “Thinking green” is an idea, held by environmen-talists, that has a concern about the environmental issues like acid rains, global warming and so on, but they argue that these problems can be solved through international cooperation. The view of “Green Thought” is, however, more nature -centered. Green Thought does not distinguish or prioritize the human being from the rest of the nature, instead assumes human beings as a part of the nature. This non-hierarchical approach called “ecocentrism” is the central feature
of green thought.
