Conservation practice as primitive accumulation (2011, background): “This accumulation may be diffuse as it lays the social, economic and infrastructural groundwork for future means of accumulation (De Angelis 2001).”
Regimes of Dispossession: From Steel Towns to Special Economic Zones (2013, background): “…have had occasion to consider whether the ‘primitive accumulation’ that Marx identified with the dawn of the capitalist era may not in fact be one of its ongoing and constitutive features (De Angelis, 2001, 2007; Hart, 2002; Harvey, 2003; Perelman, 2000; RETORT, 2005; Sanyal, 2007; Sassen, 2010).”
Land concentration and accumulation after redistributive reform in post-settler Zimbabwe (2011, background): “Alongside the pervasive external transfer of value through an unequal world trade regime, which disarticulates African development, the recent land grabbing intensifies a process of ‘continuous (primitive) accumulation’ by dispossession (Amin 1974, De Angelis 2001).”
Commodity Chains and the Uneven Geographies of Global Capitalism: A Disarticulations Perspective (2011, background): “…classical view, the era of capitalist accumulation based on the appropriation of surplus value from exploited labor is premised on a prior phase of separating labor from its means of production through extra-economic means such as violence, fraud, and theft (see de Angelis, 2001; Perelman, 2000).”
Accumulation by Dispossession and Socio‐Environmental Conflicts Caused by the Expansion of Agribusiness in Argentina (2015, background): “The testimony presented above expresses the process of neo-enclosure (De Angelis 2001) carried out by agribusiness, which directly affects campesino access to their means of production.”
Accumulation by securitization: commercial poaching, neoliberal conservation, and the creation of new wildlife frontiers (2016, background): “As such, primitive accumulation is an ongoing process necessary for capital’s continued expansion (De Angelis, 2001; Glassman, 2006; Negi and Auerbach, 2009).”
Special Economic Zones and Accumulation by Dispossession in India (2011, background): “While Luxemburg (2003) saw it as an essentially serial process as capitalism spread across the globe and developed in different countries, Perelman (2000) and De Angelis (2001), among others, had already advanced theories of primitive accumulation as a continuous process intrinsic to fully developed”
Primitive accumulation, accumulation by dispossession, accumulation by ‘extra-economic’ means (2006, background): “…points to the fact that, following Luxemburg, ‘the extra-economic prerequisite to capitalist production – what we shall call primitive accumulation – is an inherent and continuous element of modern societies and its range of action extends to the entire world’ (De Angelis, 1999: section 2).”
The land question: special economic zones and the political economy of dispossession in India (2012, background): “…– other scholars before and since Harvey have advanced conceptions of ‘ongoing primitive accumulation’ that mark a similar break (Perelman 2000, De Angelis 2001, Hart 2002, Luxemburg 2003, RETORT 2005, De Angelis 2007, Sanyal 2007) – but it does help in giving the concept a contemporary…”
Banking Nature? The Spectacular Financialisation of Environmental Conservation (2013, methodology): “As such, recent analyses frame the process as “continuous” (de Angelis 2001), “permanent” (Bonefeld 2001; Harvey 1975) and “contemporary” (Glassman 2006).”
