This collection investigates the core question of how neoliberal economic policies fundamentally reshape environmental governance, resource management, and ecological health. Edited by Nik Heynen, James B. McCarthy, Paul Robbins, and W. Scott Prudham, the volume brings together leading scholars in political ecology and geography. The authors argue that the privatization and marketization of natural resources often lead to increased social inequality and environmental degradation rather than the promised efficiency. By utilizing a critical political economy framework, the contributors analyze how neoliberal logic transforms nature into a commodity across diverse global contexts.
What You Will Find
Experts in political ecology and environmental geography identify this collection as a foundational text for understanding the intersection of market logic and ecological management. Readers frequently note the academic density of the prose, which provides a rigorous, research-based critique of contemporary environmental policy.
