Core Pillars of Green Theory
While traditional theories like Realism and Liberalism focus on power, trade, and state security, Green Theory introduces a new lens: Ecocentrism.

Ecological Justice: This is the foundational goal. It moves beyond "environmental justice" (which focuses on how environmental harm affects humans) to "ecological justice," which argues that the non-human world (animals, plants, and ecosystems) has intrinsic value and deserves moral consideration.

Challenge to Sovereignty: Green theorists argue that since environmental problems (like climate change or ocean pollution) do not respect national borders, the traditional concept of a "sovereign state" is inadequate for solving global ecological crises.

Limits to Growth: Green theory critiques the global obsession with endless economic growth. It suggests that our current industrial and capitalist systems are fundamentally incompatible with the finite resources of the planet.

Intergenerational Justice: It emphasizes our responsibility toward future generations, arguing that today's political decisions should not compromise the ability of future people (and species) to survive.
