Description

The Patagonian Sublime: A Study of the Green Economy and Post-Neoliberal Politics in Argentina. This book offers a detailed examination of the green economy and New Left politics in Argentina, drawing on extensive field research in Glaciers National Park and the mountain village of El Chaltén. Marcos Mendoza explores the complex relationships between different social groups involved in the green economy, including mountaineers, tourism entrepreneurs, and park rangers. Mendoza delves into the strategies of capitalist development and national representation embedded in the "green productivist" agenda pursued by Kirchner and Fernández governments. He also examines how Andean Patagonian communities have responded to challenges such as community-based conservation and the creation of wilderness zones for ecotourism. Through his research, Mendoza sheds light on the intersection of the green economy with post-neoliberal politics in Argentina, providing a nuanced understanding of the complex issues at play.
