Citations in the corpus

• Conservation practice as primitive accumulation (2011, background): “…some scholars like Benjaminsen et al. (2010), Ojeda (2010) and Zoomers (2010, 436–7) have cited the creation of protected areas as a part of this global land grab, these analyses seem mainly focused on the acts of displacement that occur from conservation land deals and acts of re-enclosure of…”
• The financialization of Canadian multi-family rental housing: From trailer to tower (2020, background): “Capital continues to expand not simply through commodity production, but through force, violence, and “extra-economic” means (Andreucci, Garcia-Lamarca, Wedekind, & Swyngedouw, 2017; Glassman, 2006).”
• Re-politicising water governance: exploring water re-allocations in terms of justice† (2014, background): “Theories about the capitalisation of nature (O’Connor 1994) and accumulation by dispossession (Harvey 2003 see also Glassman 2006) are useful here.”
• 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).”
• Accumulation by securitization: commercial poaching, neoliberal conservation, and the creation of new wildlife frontiers (2016, background): “…[1867]) is confined to the “original” accumulation that kick-started capitalism by divorcing producers from the means of production (De Angelis, 2001; Glassman, 2006; Hall, 2013; Perelman, 2007), accumulation by dispossession, as articulated by Harvey (2003), posits that primitive accumulation…”
• Neoliberal Versus Postneoliberal Water: Geographies of Privatization and Resistance (2013, background): “…water privatization entails “accumulation by dispossession”: the appropriation, for profit, by the private sector of both the natural environmental “commons” and the public goods created and heavily subsidized by the state (Harvey 2003; Glassman 2006; Ahlers 2010; McDonald and Ruiters 2012).”
• Ceasefire capitalism: military–private partnerships, resource concessions and military–state building in the Burma–China borderlands (2011, background): “Primitive accumulation as a continuous unfolding of the violent and recursive cycle of the (re-) production of capital (De Angelis 2004, Glassman 2006) provides an apt framing for ceasefire capitalism and governance, backed by militarism (see Luxemburg 1913, Arrighi 2007).”
• Conservation, green/blue grabbing and accumulation by dispossession in Tanzania (2012, background): “The introduction of this term has sparked a renewed interest in the combination of dispossession and capital accumulation in development studies as well as in studies of capitalism in the Global North (Glassman 2006 ).”
• Urbanization of Capital or Capitalization on Urban Land? Land Development and Local Public Finance in Urbanizing China (2011, background): “…by dispossession wherein uneven developments at home and abroad are logically connected to the imperative of the (over)accumulation of capital, the built-in crises of capitalism, and how these crises are “fixed” spatially and temporally (Harvey, 2003; Glassman, 2006; Walker and Buck, 2007).”
• To Make Live or Let Die? Rural Dispossession and the Protection of Surplus Populations (2010, background): “…relates dispossession to the emergence of capitalism through three effects: a grab for land and other resources that furnish initial capital, so-called “primitive accumulation;” the production of proletarians; and the formation of a labour reserve (Glassman 2006; Harvey 2003; Moyo and Yeros 2005).”
• Neoliberal Nature, Ecological Fixes, and the Pitfalls of Comparative Research (2009, background): “And the parallels between contemporary accounts of `accumulation by dispossession', for example, and historical enclosures are well recognized (eg Perelman, 2000; see also Glassman, 2006; Harvey, 2003).”
• Plantation rubber, land grabbing and social-property transformation in southern Laos (2012, background): “…have noted, however, his is also a logical argument that explains how and why capitalist property and social relations of production are established and intensified via dispossessing processes (De Angelis 1999, 2004, Perelman 2000, Read 2002, Harvey 2003, 2006, McCarthy 2004, Glassman 2006).”
• The Metabolism of Socioecological Fixes: Capital Switching, Spatial Fixes, and the Production of Nature (2017, background): “…note, as have others, that recognizing the “extraeconomic” dimensions of historical capital accumulation (i.e., reliance on a logic of appropriation, enclosure, and even theft) is one of the central dimensions of Marx’s theory of primitive accumulation (see, e.g., De Angelis 2004; Glassman 2006).”
• Economic transition and speculative urbanisation in China: Gentrification versus dispossession (2016, background): “The ABD is often associated with ‘extra-economic means’ of dispossession that evades existing norms and often involves use of violence (Glassman 2006; Levien 2011), for dispossession is a highly political process that does not often follow simple economic logic.”
