We use the Gribov-Zwanziger Lagrangian in QCD to evaluate the one loop correction to the gluon propagator as a function of the Gribov volume and verify that the propagator vanishes in the infrared limit. Using the corresponding correction to the Faddeev-Popov ghost propagator we construct the renormalization group invariant coupling constant, alpha^eff_S(p^2), from the gluon and ghost form factors and verify, using the Gribov mass gap condition, that it freezes out at zero momentum to a non-zero value. This is qualitatively consistent with other approaches. We also show that there is an enhancement of the propagator of one of the Zwanziger ghosts at two loops similar to that which occurs for the Faddeev-Popov ghosts. From the exact evaluation of the form factors we examine power corrections for the gluon propagator and the effective coupling. We find that both have the same qualitative behaviour in that the leading power correction is O(1/p^2) and not O(1/(p^2)^2).
