The name comes from the colours of theDemocratic Progressive Party, which originally adopted green in part because of its association with theanti-nuclear movement. In contrast to thePan-Blue Coalition, the Pan-Green Coalition favorsTaiwanization andTaiwan independence overChinese unification, although members in both coalitions have moderated their policies to reach voters in the center.

This strategy is helped by the fact that much of the motivation that voters have for voting for one party or the other are for reasons that have nothing to do with relations withChina. This is particularly true among swing voters. For much of the 1990s, the parties which later formed the Pan-Green Coalition greatly benefited because they were less corrupt than the rulingKuomintang (KMT). However, due to the controversies and the alleged corruption cases involving the former DPP nominated PresidentChen Shui-bian, the public perception of the Coalition is seemed to have been altered somewhat.

The Pan-Green Coalition formed in the aftermath of the2000 presidential election, after whichLee Teng-hui was expelled from theKuomintang and created his own party, theTaiwan Solidarity Union, which maintains a pro-independence platform.

Unlike the internal dynamics of the Pan-Blue Coalition, which consist of relatively equal-sized parties with very similar ideologies, the Pan-Green Coalition contains the DPP, which is much larger and more moderate than the TSU. So rather than coordinating electoral strategies, the presence of the TSU keeps the DPP from moving too far away from itsTaiwan independence roots. In local elections, competition tends to be fierce between Pan-Green candidates from different parties, and as a rule, joint candidates are not proposed.

TheGreen Party Taiwan is not considered as part of the Pan-Green Coalition,^{[citation needed][contradictory]} but the Green Party has similar views with the Democratic Progressive Party, especially on environmental and social issues, and the Green Party is also allied with theSocial Democratic Party.
