PARKS AND THE POLITICS OF NEOLIBERAL CONSERVATION IN SOUTHERN AFRICA'
TRANSFORMING THE FRONTIER: PEACE PARKS AND THE POLITICS OF NEOLIBERAL
CONSERVATION IN SOUTHERN AFRICA

Abstract:
Neoliberal conservation, the idea and practice of 'saving' nature through
its submission to capital and its subsequent revaluation in capitalist
terms, has fast become the dominant mode of biodiversity conservation
worldwide. Yet the politics that enabled this process is little understood.
Based on extensive ethnographic field research in Southern Africa, I argue
that three modes of politics are especially important in understanding
contemporary neoliberal conservation: those of consensus, anti-politics and
marketing. The presentation empirically illustrates these modes and shows
how planners and managers employ and so help to reinforce them. The
conclusion outlines some ideas on how these modes of politics could be
employed for more progressive ends.
