Over the past few decades, the governance of nature has taken its
most radical turn. The most influential change in economic and
social regulation has seen a dramatic reprise of liberal faith in
less regulated markets and minimalist states, underpinned by
advocacy for extending exclusive property rights to nearly
everything imaginable. This complex turn, with its countless yet
uncharted implications for environmental quality and governance, is
captured by the contentious concept of neoliberalism. Today,
neoliberalism provides the context and direction for how humans
affect and interact with the non-human world and with one another.
But what does this mean for nature?
This volume brings together specific case studies that span more
than two decades of experience and evidence linking neoliberalism
with concrete environmental changes, politics, and outcomes in
diverse, international contexts. It evaluates specific political
ecologies and dynamics, and the implications of particular
neoliberal reforms and enforcements, while collectively affording
new contributors and readers the possibility of thinking
comparatively across sectors and geographic contexts. Such
specificity and comparative potential serves important analytical
functions because it allows the authors and editors to craft
stronger, more credible answers to the central questions of what
neoliberalism is and what it entails in specific sorts of
circumstances.
