Hardcover, xii + 298 pages, NOT ex-library. A clean and bright copy with unmarked text and firm binding, free of inscriptions and stamps. Published without a dust jacket. -- This volume explores the nexus between nature, markets, deregulation and valuation, using theoretically sharp and empirically rich real-world case studies and analyses of actually existing policy from around the world and across a range of resources. In short, it answers the questions: does neoliberalizing nature work and what work does it do? More specifically, this volume provides answers to a series of urgent questions about the effects of neoliberal policies on environmental governance and quality. What are the implications of privatizing public water utilities in terms of equity in service provision, resource conservation and water quality? Do free trade agreements erode the sovereignty of nations and citizens to regulate environmental pollution, and is this power being transferred to corporations? What does the evidence show about the relationship between that marketization and privatization of nature and conservation objectives? Neoliberal Environments productively engages with all of these questions and more. At the same time, the diverse case studies collectively and decisively challenge the orthodoxies of neoliberal reforms, documenting that the results of such reforms have fallen far short of their ambitions. -- Contents: Introduction: False Promises / Nik Heynen; -- Part I Enclosure and Privatization: -- Last Enclosure: Resisting Privatization of Wildlife in the Western United States / Paul Robbins & April Luginbuhl; Privatizing Conditions of Production: Trade Agreements as Neoliberal Environmental Governance / James McCarthy; Dispossessing H2O: The Contested Terrain of Water Privatization / Erik Swyngedouw; Neoliberalism in the Oceans: 'Rationalization,' Property Rights, and the Commons Question / Becky Mansfield; Acts of Enclosure: Claim Staking and Land Conversion in Guyana's Gold Fields / Gavin Bridge; Enclosure and Privatization of Neoliberal Environments / Nancy Lee Peluso; Neoliberal Primitive Accumulation / Jim Glassman; -- Part II Commodification and Marketization: -- Neoliberalizing Nature?
