Engaging neoliberal conservation
Igoe, J (ed); Brockington, D (ed) / 2008

The growing body of work on the 'neoliberalisation of nature' has paid little attention to conservation policy and its impacts. Similarly, studies of conservation have generally overlooked the broader context of neoliberalism. This latest edition of Conservation and Society journal explores what can be gained by seeing conservation through a neoliberal lense. Drawing on detailed case studies from a range of geographical contexts, the authors attempt to place conservation policies in the context of broader social and economic changes that define neoliberalism.
