Roll-out neoliberalism and hybrid practices of regulation in Australian agri-environmental governance

Article Abstract:

The agri-governmental programs which enable authorities to combine often competing and contradictory imperatives under the rubric of single political problems, termed hybrid forms of governing, also contributes to the continuing failure of these programs to achieve their desired effects. The capacity to manage the competing imperatives of environmental degradation, capital accumulation and private property rights are factors, which make the programs workable and have broader effects.
