Resumen

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? Until the past few years, the geographies of neoliberalism - as applied to natural resources and environmental politics - were not explicitly studied despite the centrality of these arenas to the neoliberal project and to efforts to resist it. "Neoliberal Environments" will help fill this gap by bringing together a collection of recent, theoretically informed and empirical analyses of the relationship between neoliberalism and nature. It brings together substantially reworked versions of recent articles in this area, tightened and revised to focus on answers to these questions on neoliberalism in geography. Additionally, the book includes both a synthetic and theoretically engaged introduction by the editors as well as eight newly commissioned essays that will clarify the underlying theoretical debates and advance new answers to these same questions. 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
