Accumulation by Conservation (2014, background): “…in South Africa also plays into exactly this feeling, providing elites with a space ‘to escape the rat race and get away into nature for a while’.16 Second, it facilitates the infusion of a deeper capitalistic logic within nature, the capitalisation of nature ‘all the way down’ (Smith 2007).”
Virtual nature, violent accumulation: The ‘spectacular failure’ of carbon offsetting at a Ugandan National Park (2014, background): “…the ways in which the environment frequently now provides a new frontier for the generation of surplus value (Sullivan, 2013), and/or a ‘spatial-environmental fix’ for the resolution of intertwined economic and ecological crises elsewhere in the capitalist system (Harvey, 2003; Smith, 2007).”
Grabbing “Green”: Markets, Environmental Governance and the Materialization of Natural Capital (2013, background): “While the birth of global environmentalism lies in a post-1968 critical stance on the expansion of capitalism and the consumption of resources (MacDonald 2010a, b), the past few decades have witnessed a transformation in environmentalism that is intimately intertwined with the rise of neoliberalism ”
The Metabolism of Socioecological Fixes: Capital Switching, Spatial Fixes, and the Production of Nature (2017, background): “Conversely, and as Katz (1998) memorably put it—echoed by Smith (2007)—nature is becoming ever more targeted as an accumulation strategy.”
Life for Sale? The Politics of Lively Commodities (2013, background): “…the delegate from Bolivia, and social movement actors at Cochabamba and in Brazil, as well as scholars working in this area (eg, Robertson, 2012; Smith, 2007), that the future of fully commodified social reproduction, including global biospheric processes like ecosystem carbon, is more than…”
Arrested Development? The Promises and Paradoxes of “Selling Nature to Save It” (2016, background): “…especially those that interpret these developments through the specter of rapacious D ow nl oa de d by [ D an ie l S ua re z] a t 1 5: 46 0 9 A pr il 20 16 commodification and financialization and as an epochal transformation of socioecological relations (i.e., Smith 2007; Robertson 2012).”
Payments for Ecosystem Services in Mexico: Nature, Neoliberalism, Social Movements, and the State (2010, background): “Recent debates in geography have wrestled with the concept of neoliberalism, contradictions of “actually existing neoliberalisms,” and the neoliberalization of nature (Braun and Castree 1998; Brenner and Theodore 2002; Peck and Tickell 2002; Castree 2003, 2006, 2008a, 2008b; McCarthy and Prudham 200”
Nature™ Inc.: Changes and Continuities in Neoliberal Conservation and Market‐based Environmental Policy (2012, unknown): “In other words, the ‘death’ of nature — with which we mean the reduction of nature to an inanimate, technocratically manipulable object — is a necessary precondition for the production of NatureTM Inc. (see also Smith, 2007).”
