Abstract For thirty years, advocates of the economic valuation nature have been claiming that it contributes to making ecological crisis more tangible. The framing fosters a shared vision as capital amenable management and protection. Yet, this approach has scarcely applied in practice therefore not yielded tangible conservation outcomes. Why is consistently presented panacea absence slightest evidence effect? Beyond conventional answers—policy path dependency, alignment with dominant...

Abstract In the last two decades, new academic journals, textbooks, and research networks attest to ecologists’ rising interest in cities. How did ecologists come enter cities view them as places worth studying? To what extent does this launch a broader redefinition of type knowledge that matters ecology? Drawing on political sociology science, using review publications urban ecology, we argue politics ecological not merely correspond promotion subfield ecology dedicated cities: it has...

Accounting for nature as capital is touted a promising way of aligning environmental conservation with global capitalism by valuing like economic assets. Both its proponents and detractors speculate on what promises might achieve if they were fully realized, i.e., actually accounted for, capitalized or commodified. There is, however, an enduring disjunction between vision execution in this field: the simply do not materialize. Economizing proves to be extremely complex, raising only...

Ce dispositif est perçu par ses promoteurs un devenir, tandis que détracteurs y voient le dernier avatar du projet marchandisation nature cœur politiques environnementales depuis deux décennies. Au-delà discours,...
