During 2002 and 2003, an international research team conducted surveys of green party members in 15 countries. Members of a total of 18 separate green parties took part in the project, with more than 8,000 completed questionnaires received.
The project covers all five green parties that were in national government in Western Europe in the late 1990s and early 2000s (Finland, Italy, France, Germany, and Belgium). Other parties taking part were the green parties of Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Austria and Greece. In addition, members of two regional green parties in Spain (Andalucia and Valencia) were surveyed. Outside of Europe, surveys were also completed in New Zealand and New South Wales (Australia).
Funding for the project was provided by the British Academy, under its Large Research Grant programme. Additional support was obtained from the Research Development Fund of the University of Strathclyde. Some individual national teams also received additional support from their home institutions. Furthermore, the British Academy provided financial support to allow researchers to meet after the completion of the fieldwork to facilitate the preparation of publications under its International Network programme. We are most grateful to the British Academy and to our home institutions for all the support received. We also thank all green party members who have taken the time and trouble to complete our questionnaires and take part in the survey.
The aim was to field the same questions in each country to allow for meaningful comparisons. A 'common core questionnaire' was developed to define a set of questions to be fielded in all countries. Each individual team was free to add further questions of mainly national interest. The 'common core questionnaire' as well as all questionnaires fielded by national teams in this project are documented on this site which also includes information on all members of the research team.
