Dear colleagues, We'd like to announce the publication of the Forum 2012 issue of Development and Change, which contains an exciting Debate section on neoliberal conservation and market-based environmental policies. Most of the papers in this section were drawn from the NatureTM Inc conference which was held at the Institute of Social Studies in June 2011. Other sections of the Forum issue also have a number of other pieces that are of direct relevance to geography, anthropology and environmental politics. For example, Jean Grugel and Pia Riggirozzi's piece in the Focus section deals with Post-neoliberalism in Latin America and Lorenzo Pellegrini has a fascinating interview with Joan Martinez Alier in the Reflections section. 'Assesments' include reviews of the World Energy Outlook 2010 by Mazan Labban and UNEP's Green Economy Report by Dan Brockington.
