Book
Failing forward : the rise and fall of neoliberal conservation
"This book documents a growing global collaboration among states, non-state actors, and private-sector firms concerned with biodiversity preservation to promote so-called market-based instruments (MBIs) that seek to reconcile environmental preservation and economic development by harnessing preservation itself as the source of conservation finance. It describes how this project has developed over the past several decades, the expanding network of organizations and actors that have come together around its promotion, and how the project has managed to "fail forward" over time despite a consistent inability to actually achieve its lofty aims"-- Provided by publisher.
