• Renewable energy for sustainable rural development: Synergies and mismatches (2020, background): “Through actively diverting a threat into an opportunity in search of new profitability (Bakker, 2009), solutions to environmental and economic problems become part of the capitalist sustainable development logic (While et al., 2010) – an approach, which is aligned with the large-scale investments…”
• Sustainable Capital? The Neoliberalization of Nature and Knowledge in the European “Knowledge-based Bio-economy” (2010, background): “and their subsequent internalization [17], such metaphorical framings extend agri-technological innovation systems beyond food production.”
• Problematizing REDD+ as an experiment in payments for ecosystem services (2012, background): “This conservation approach is unsurprisingly subject to the ‘particularities of place’ and varying degrees of public and private intervention and re-regulation that characterize the ‘neoliberalization of nature’ [13,14,15 ,16,17,18 ].”
• Nature-based tourism and neoliberalism: concealing contradictions (2015, background): “…are conflated into one single unitary global project; third, a focus on single case studies that provide explanations of particular resources, places or processes but do not expand their analyses to interrogate and articulate broader patterns, commonalities and differences (also see Bakker, 2009).”
• Offsetting Benefits? Analyzing Access to Forest Carbon (2010, background): “…within a larger market environmentalism doctrine (Anderson and Leal, 2001), current trends in marketized environmental governance (Kosoy and Corbera, 2009; Liverman, 2004), and the construction of a `neoliberal nature' (Bakker, 2005; 2009; Castree, 2003; 2008; 2009; McCarthy and Prudham, 2004).”
• Capitalism and Conservation: The Production and Reproduction of Biodiversity Conservation (2010, unknown): “Intellectually the challenge has been made easier by the thriving research into the neoliberalisation of nature (Bakker 2005, 2009; Büscher and Dressler 2007; Castree 2009; Heynen et al 2007; McCarthy 2005; McCarthy and Prudham 2004) and in particular by Noel Castree’s parsing of that literature…”
• Neoliberalism and the geographies of marketization (2016, background): “Finally, Haughton and McManus (2012) argue that PPPs are a clear example of ‘hybrid neoliberalism’ in that a belief in (unregulated) markets plays out in varied and diverse ways in different places and at different scales (also Peck and Tickell, 2002; Castree, 2006).”
• Market mechanism or subsidy in disguise? Governing payment for environmental services in Costa Rica (2012, background): “This perspective is grounded in a growing body of research analyzing increased neoliberalization within environmental governance in general in recent years, as defined by the paradigmatic neoliberal principles outlined above (see e.g., Heynen et al., 2007; Igoe and Brockington, 2007; Castree, 2008, ”
