Happy to share our new paper "Neoliberal pathways to the #bioeconomy: Forest land use institutions in Chile, Finland, and Laos" Open Access:

By #JuhaHiedanpää, #MattiSalo and myself. #JustGlobe project.
Taking an institutional perspective to land use planning & change, we explore the different varieties of neoliberalism in relations to bioeconomy; from Utopian neoliberalism in #Chile, to Authoritarian neoliberalism in #Laos and the Nordic variety in Finland.
We reflect on the lack of radical transformations within the bioeocnomy agendas, finding that in all case countries "land use adjustments have contributed to the strengthening of the state- and investor-led bioeconomy, but from the citizenry perspective this development has raised new concerns. The growth-focused bioeconomy conception and the neoliberal economic order it supports produce a conventional incentive structure and an institutional inertia to transformative change"
