Geographies of Neoliberalism

Prof Simon Springer; Prof Kean Birch (York University, Canada); Prof Julie MacLeavy (University of Bristol, UK).

Neoliberalism generally refers to the new political, economic, and social arrangements within society that emphasise market relations, re-tasking the role of the state, and individual responsibility. This ongoing work seeks to explore the geographies of neoliberalism in its mutated and mongrelised forms as it travels around our world, taking on contextually specific and often deleterious characteristics.
