In Science and Environment in Chile , Javiera Barandiarǹ examines the consequences for environmental governance when the state lacks the capacity to produce an authoritative body of knowledge. Focusing on the experience of Chile after it transitioned from dictatorship to democracy, she examines a series of environmental conflicts in which the state tried to act as a "neutral broker" rather than the protector of the common good. She argues that this shift in the role of the state--occurring in other countries as well--is driven in part by the political ideology of neoliberalism, which favors market mechanisms and private initiatives over the actions of state agencies. Chile has not invested in environmental science labs, state agencies with in-house capacities, or an ancillary network of trusted scientific advisers--despite the growing complexity of environmental problems and increasing popular demand for more active environmental stewardship. Unlike a high modernist "empire" state with the scientific and technical capacity to undertake large-scale projects, Chile's model has been that of an "umpire" state that purchases scientific advice from markets. After describing the evolution of Chilean regulatory and scientific institutions during the transition, Barandiarǹ describes four environmental crises that shook citizens' trust in government: the near-collapse of the farmed salmon industry when an epidemic killed millions of fish; pollution from a paper and pulp mill that killed off or forced out thousands of black-neck swans; a gold mine that threatened three glaciers; and five controversial mega-dams in Patagonia. 001386371 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 001386371 650_0 $$aEnvironmental policy$$zChile. 001386371 650_0 $$aEnvironmental policy$$xEconomic aspects$$zChile. 001386371 650_0 $$aScience and state$$zChile. 001386371 650_0 $$aNeoliberalism$$zChile. 001386371 651_0 $$aChile$$xPolitics and government$$y1988- 001386371 653__ $$aENVIRONMENT/Environmental Politics & Policy 001386371 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001386371 852__ $$bebk 001386371 85640 $$3MIT Press$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/11294.001.0001?locatt=mode:legacy$$zOnline Access through The MIT Press Direct 001386371 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 001386371 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1386371$$pGLOBAL_SET 001386371 980__ $$aBIB 001386371 980__ $$aEBOOK 001386371 982__ $$aEbook 001386371 983__ $$aOnline
