Capitalism and Conservation by Dan Brockington

Capitalism and Conservation by Dan Brockington

Through a series of case studies from around the world, Capitalism and Conservation presents a critique of conservation s role as a central driver of global capitalism.

“This book is suitable for a range of audiences seeking a more in depth understanding of the pervasion of neoliberalism in conservation and the peripheral role of conservation to neoliberalismIt would be useful for politics, geography and tourism researchers while also being a potential pertinent resource for practitioners pursuing greater understanding of the processes. It is good value for money for these individuals.”  (Economic Geography Research Group, 2012)
