Abstract: This paper explores the evolving relationship between ecologism and global politics, emphasizing the growing significance of ecological thought in shaping international relations and policy-making. Ecologism, a radical ideology distinct from conventional environmentalism, challenges the dominant anthropocentric and growth-driven paradigms by advocating for a holistic, eco-centric worldview. As global environmental crises--such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and resource depletion--intensify, the limitations of traditional political frameworks have become increasingly apparent. This study examines how ecologism influences global political discourse through environmental governance, multilateral agreements, and transnational movements. It also investigates the North-South divide in environmental negotiations, the securitization of ecological issues, and the tension between ecological sustainability and economic globalization. The paper argues that while ecologism remains a marginal force in mainstream global politics, its normative power and ideological critique present a necessary challenge to existing systems, pushing for transformative change towards ecological justice and sustainable global governance.
