In short, it answers the questions: does neoliberalizing nature work and what work does it do? More specially, this volume provides answers to a series of urgent questions about the effects of neoliberalis policies on environmental governance and quality. What are the implications of privatizing public water utilities in terms of equity in service provision, resource conservation and water quality? Do free trade agreements erode the sovereignty of nations and citizens to regulate environmental pollution, and this power being transferred to corporation? What does the evidence show about the relationship between that marketization and privatization of nature and concervation objectives?. ---- Neoliberal Environments productively engages with all of these questions and more. At the same time, the diverse case studies collectively and decisively challenge the orthodoxies of neoliberal reforms, documenting that the results of such reforms have fallen far short of their ambitions..
