Based on extensive field research in Glaciers National Park and the mountain village of El Chaltén, Marcos Mendoza deftly examines the diverse social worlds of alpine mountaineers, adventure trekkers, tourism entrepreneurs, seasonal laborers, park rangers, land managers, scientists, and others involved in the green economy.\u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e  Mendoza explores the fraught intersection of the green economy with the New Left politics of the Néstor Kirchner and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner governments. Mendoza documents the strategies of capitalist development, national representation, and political rule embedded in the \"green productivist\" agenda pursued by Kirchner and Fernández. Mendoza shows how Andean Patagonian communities have responded to the challenges of community-based conservation, the fashioning of wilderness zones, and the drive to create place-based monopolies that allow ecotourism destinations to compete in the global consumer economy.  \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003e List of Acronyms\u003cbr\u003e List of Spanish Terms\u003cbr\u003e List of Images\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e Preface\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Part One: The Sphere of Tourism Consumption\u003cbr\u003e 1 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Alpine-Style Mountaineering: Resolve and Death in the Andes\u003cbr\u003e 2 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Adventure Trekking: Pursuing the Alpine Sublime\u003cbr\u003e Part Two: The Sphere of Service Production\u003cbr\u003e 3 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eComerciante\u003c\/i\u003e Entrepreneurship: Investment Hazard and Ethical Laboring\u003cbr\u003e 4 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eGolondrina\u003c\/i\u003e Laboring: Informality and Play\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Part Three: The Sphere of the Conservation State\u003cbr\u003e 5 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Community-Based Conservation: Land Managers and State-Civil Society Collaborations\u003cbr\u003e 6 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Conservation Policing: Education and Environmental Impacts\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Part Four: The Politics of the Green Economy\u003cbr\u003e 7 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Defending Popular Sustainability in \u003ci\u003ela Comuna\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 8 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Kirchnerismo and the Politics of the Green Economy\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003cbr\u003e About the Author\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52563729449240,"sku":"9780813596747","price":24.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-patagonian-sublime-the-green-economy-and-post-neoliberal-politics-paperback-softback-9780813596747","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
