Petra Kelly and the Transnational Roots of Green Politics

During the 1970s and 1980s, Petra Karin Kelly (1947–1992) traveled the globe, visiting sites of anti-nuclear protest that included rural West German villages, the Australian outback, and Hiroshima. Her travels also took her to world capitals like Washington, Bonn, London, and Brussels. In moving between sites of local activism and capital cities, Kelly played an essential part in the networking of grassroots anti-nuclear activists and helped carry their message to centers of political power. She envisioned the West German Green party, which she co-founded in 1980, as a powerful tool that could redirect “chain reactions” of grassroots protest towards parliaments and thus create a new, more participatory form of liberal democracy.

The roots of Kelly’s transnational approach to politics are evident in her biography. Born in provincial Günzburg on the Danube in 1947, Kelly left Bavar
