Accumulation by Conservation (2014, background): “…to, or part of, global capitalist development rather than a reaction against capitalism (see, e.g. Castree 2010, Igoe et al. 2010, Brockington and Duffy 2010a, Arsel and Büscher 2012, Büscher et al. 2012, Roth and Dressler 2012, Fairhead et al. 2012a, Corson et al. 2013, Büscher et al. 2014).”
Problematizing REDD+ as an experiment in payments for ecosystem services (2012, background): “In doing so, the paper sheds light on the risks and limitations of ecosystem service-driven conservation and adds to a growing body of evidence that exposes the limitations of ‘‘selling nature to save it’’ [19– 21].”
Arrested Development? The Promises and Paradoxes of “Selling Nature to Save It” (2016, background): “…commodities is understood (again drawing on Harvey) as a new but “similar and spectacularly productive” (Sullivan 2013, 210) wave of accumulation by dispossession (see also B€uscher 2009; Brockington and Duffy 2010; Igoe, Neves, and Brockington 2010; MacDonald 2010; Arsel and B€uscher 2012).”
Payments for Environmental Services and Motivation Crowding: Towards a Conceptual Framework (2019, background): “…been noted that PES might erode the social institutions, cultural values and motivations that sustain a non-utilitarian view of biodiversity conservation and natural resource management in some contexts (McCauley, 2006; Arsel and Buscher, 2012; Peluso, 2012; McAfee, 2012; Kosoy and Corbera, 2010).”
Between markets and hierarchies: The challenge of governing ecosystem services (2012, background): “All originally developed in the oming book ‘‘Governing the hors and to be published by x: þ44 1865281807. adian), Ruiz-Perez, 2011; Arsel and Buscher, 2012; McAfee, 2012).”
Financialization and Economic Development: A Debate on the Social Efficiency of Modern Finance (2018, background): “…the World Economic Forum) and FinTech corporations, it proposes to extend financial markets into new areas including social protection and poverty alleviation (Chandrasekhar and Ghosh, this issue; Lavinas, this issue) and climate change mitigation (Arsel and Büscher, 2012; Keuchyan, this issue).”
Virtual nature, violent accumulation: The ‘spectacular failure’ of carbon offsetting at a Ugandan National Park (2014, background): “…spectacular social lives Much recent work in political ecology has critically engaged with the production of ostensibly ‘socio-natural’ commodities (Arsel and Büscher, 2012; Büscher and Arsel, 2012; Büscher et al., 2014; Fletcher, 2012; Peluso, 2012; Roth and Dressler, 2012), and especially so…”
Evaluating the outcomes of payments for ecosystem services programmes using a capital asset framework (2014, background): “Other challenges include potential misapplication of MBIs (Lockie, 2013); the propensity to commoditize nature (Kosoy and Corbera, 2010), which could lead to reductions in ecological complexity and a ‘commodity fiction’ (Gomez-Baggethun and Ruíz-Perez, 2011; Muradian and Rival, 2012; Robertson, 2012”
Technical knowledge, discursive spaces and politics at the science - policy interface (2013, background): “These discourses either take the shape of green governmentality with the state as a prominent actor (Bäckstrand and Lövbrand, 2006) or market environmentalism, neoliberalism or ecological modernization with the markets as the prominent mechanism (Hajer, 1995; Adams, 2001; Arsel and Büscher, 2012).”
The political ecology of ecosystem services (2015, unknown): “The main critics investigateES as a tool of a neoliberal conservation,of market-based environmental policy, or as a project of „green grabbing‟ that creates new markets and empowers new actors (Arsel and Büscher, 2012; Fairhead et al. 2012; Bumpus and Liverman, 2012; MacDonald and Corson, 2012).”
Payments for ecosystem services and the fatal attraction of win‐win solutions (2013, background): “…by “trying to sell nature to save it” market-based approaches reflect the contradictory logic of “green capitalism,” and neglect to address the ultimate causes of environmental degradation, namely the dynamics of capital accumulation in the current global economic system (Arsel and Büscher 2012).”
Grabbing “Green”: Markets, Environmental Governance and the Materialization of Natural Capital (2013, background): “Nature™ Inc.,1 sought to critically engage with the market panacea in environmental policy and conservation (Arsel and Büscher 2012), while the Global Land Grabbing Conference2 aimed to bring academic and public attention to urgent questions around large-scale commercial land acquisitions and land…”
