{"product_id":"neoliberal-environments-nik-heynen-9780415771481","title":"Neoliberal Environments: False Promises and Unnatural Consequences","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 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?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNeoliberal Environments\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nik Heynen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 041577148X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415771481\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/05\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.48h x 6.36w x 0.89d","brand":"Nik Heynen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064956170495,"sku":"9780415771481","price":240.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e9e72b94-df9b-44b4-967a-6a5d0925e425.jpg?v=1768672167","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/neoliberal-environments-nik-heynen-9780415771481","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
