“…Post-neoliberalism is a relational perspective on governmentality in the context of a post-global present of climate change, resource exhaustion, and disillusionment with neoliberal reforms. The goal of economic growth combined with social equity and democracy first proclaimed in Latin America was quickly tempered by realities of “transnationalism, financialization, and precarization” (Ettlinger & Hartmann, 2015, p. 38). While the concept emerged out of electoral victories of the new left in Latin America since the late 1990s, it has spread in expected areas (e.g., sovereignty [Mitchel & Fazi, 2017], Latin American public health [Hartmann, 2016], and area studies [e.g., Asia 3 ; Vitchek, 2018, on spread to Africa]).…”

“…Much attention goes to Ecuador and Bolivia, which recently recognized nature’s rights in their constitutions: in Ecuador on the basis of nature’s intrinsic value, and in Bolivia under the terms of human rights to quality of life and environmental protection (Gudynas, 2011). Critical scholarly questions hinge on how these events in Ecuador and Bolivia articulate with the broader debate about whether postneoliberalism offers the possibility of rupture with neoliberalism or is a differently dressed iteration of the same state–civil society relations and postcolonial governmentality (Bebbington and Bebbington, 2011; Ettlinger and Hartmann, 2015; Peck et al., 2010; Radcliffe, 2012).…”

Rights of Nature, the idea of extending legal personhood to nature, is today’s most prominent alternative to mainstream environmental governance. Proponents describe Rights of Nature as a grassroots movement of diverse actors opposing commodification of life and anthropocentric dualism of western thought. In Rights of Nature, indigenous cosmologies validate holistic models of life to overcome dualities of nature and humans. We argue this move enacts a paradoxical dichotomy between the West and the rest and, in so doing, treats rights as existing outside western history. In this article, we push against the image of Rights of Nature as a global consensus converging on the inevitability of rights. Applying decolonial, black feminist perspectives on historical mobilizations of rights, we ask how rights for nature becomes rights as natural. We trace individuals, institutions, and ideas associated with Rights of Nature, conceptualized as a Transnational Policy Network. We find tight linkages among a small number of actors, mostly from the global North, who draw on western holism and jurisprudence to present nature’s rights as an indigenous and natural alternative to western development. Rights of Nature is not just connected to the same ideas of nature and law it rejects, but through these connections Rights of Nature universalizes colonial modes of existence as natural.

“…Recognizing the utopianism of neoliberal discourses, Ettlinger and Hartmann (2015), Brenner and Theodore (2002), Peck (2013) and others distinguish between neoliberalism as discourse and neoliberalism as practice. Neoliberal policies and practices can never produce the political, economic, and social outcomes projected by the utopian discourses of neoliberal thinkers and planners.…”

“…In this paper, I build on existing literature from geography and related disciplines that approach neoliberalism as both a discourse and set of situated practices to highlight the internal debates and dialogs within what is too often described as a singular hegemonic ideology. While scholars have examined the multiplicity of "actually-existing neoliberalisms" in practice, this article contributes to a literature that examines the emergence and evolution of multiple and divergent neoliberal discourses and utopian imaginaries (Ettlinger and Hartmann 2015;Jones 2012;Steinberg et al 2012;Davis and Monk 2007;Bonnett 2001). I examine the utopian discourses around several related proposals for autonomous libertarian city-states: Seasteading, Startup Cities, Free Private Cities, and LEAP Zones.…”

“Vote with your feet”: Neoliberalism, the democratic nation-state, and utopian enclave libertarianism

This paper examines a series of emerging utopian discourses that call for the creation of autonomous libertarian enclaves on land ceded by or claimed against existing states. These discourses have emerged in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis and can be seen as a response to the crisis on the part of free-market advocates who critique previous waves of neoliberal reform for failing to radically transform the existing structures of the state. Enclave libertarianism seeks to overcome neoliberal capitalism's contradictory relationship to the liberal democratic state by rethinking the state as a "private government service provider" and rethinking citizens as mobile consumers of government services. Citizens are thus called to "vote with their feet" by opting-in to the jurisdiction that best fits their needs and beliefs. The paper argues that these utopian imaginaries are key to understanding specific new manifestations of post-crisis neoliberalism, and calls for more research into the diversity of discourses and Vote with your feet 2 imaginaries that circulate through networks of neoliberal actors beyond specific policy initiatives.
