In this paper I argue that determining the arrival of a postneoliberal moment requires an examination of how capital crises are resolved by the state and the market to see whether institutions and the policy responses created by their interaction constitute a new approach to capital accumulation. After presenting geographical debates on crisis formation, I focus on the Infectious Salmon Anemia crisis that affected the Chilean salmon industry in 2008, and which raised questions about Chile's neoliberal success and global integration. Using interviews, press reports, and public data, I find that the policy responses that were implemented—namely, a new regulatory framework, increased state oversight, and geographical relocation—deepened Chile's trust in a neoliberal economy. This finding suggests that, at least in terms of environmental governance, we have not arrived at a postneoliberal moment.","PeriodicalId":175597,"journal":{"name":"Environment and Planning C-government and Policy","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117211374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Federalism, political power, and the economic power game: conflict over access to petroleum resources in Nigeria","authors":"C. Ikporukpo","doi":"10.1068/C140159","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1068/C140159","url":null,"abstract":"There is hardly any natural resource that has generated so much political and economic conflict as petroleum. One form of conflict which has received very little attention is the struggle for control between the producing regions on the one hand and the state and the nonproducing areas on the other in multiethnic federations. This paper is an examination of this conflict in Nigeria. In order to provide a framework for the analysis, theoretical issues on the state and the experiences of other federations are examined. The setting for the conflict in Nigeria is the situation where the resource, which is the mainstay of the economy, is available only in areas whose ethnic groups have little or no access to or control of political power. Unlike in other federations such as the USA and Australia, Nigeria's petroleum resources are much more accessible to the central government and the nonproducing regions than the producing areas. A controversy has thus emerged. One school argues that the producing areas should have exclusive right to the resources whereas another assigns this exclusive right to the federal government. A third view is that the producing areas should have more, though nonexciusive, rights and a fourth argues that the federal government should have more rights. The current pattern of access has generated a lot of dissent in the producing areas whose inhabitants assert that the pattern is a reflection of the majority ethnic groups' bid to oppress the minority groups. Such protests include advocacy-based protest, civil disobedience, sabotage and armed struggle.","PeriodicalId":175597,"journal":{"name":"Environment and Planning C-government and Policy","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123613758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Meer","doi":"10.1068/C150253","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1068/C150253","url":null,"abstract":"Fundamental developments such as globalisation, informationalisation, and European integration lead to increased competition and interaction among metropolitan regions in search for mobile investment and trade. Next to the 'traditional' location factors and quality-of-life factors that determine the quality of the business environment, the ability of the metropolitan region to anticipate, respond to, and cope with internal and external changes is increasingly getting attention. This paper is based on the results of an international comparative investigation. The objective of the investigation is to gain insight into the use of organising capacity of eight metropolitan regions in Europe. The investigation is based on the analysis of fifteen major projects in eight European cities. Eight out of these fifteen projects have been included in this paper, one for each city. The projects have been analysed according to a specially developed theoretical framework. Organising capacity is closely bound up with strategic networks (public, private, and mixed networks), leadership, spatioeconomic conditions, vision and strategy, and political and societal support. The aim in this paper is to determine the contribution of these elements, separately and in combination, to the development process of the projects.","PeriodicalId":175597,"journal":{"name":"Environment and Planning C-government and Policy","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117044153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
