MacNeils analysis brings debates within Varieties of Capitalism accounts ofcomparative political economy into conversation with debates about neoliberalismas a driving force in climate change politics. As such, this work makes highlyimportant contributions both to analyses of US and comparative environmentalpolitics and to comparative political economy.

Matthew Paterson, University of Manchester, UK

The book makes a persuasive case for understanding Washington as a developmentalstate, and by showing how its structures facilitate, at least in part, theemergence of a green economy, it cogently makes the case that neoliberalismis much more complicated than usually understood. The process wherebyneoliberalism and the regulatory impulses of environmentalism collide is clearlyspelled out in a way that adds nuance to the discussion and puts the Americanclimate change debate into appropriate political context.

Simon Dalby, University of Waterloo, Canada

Neoliberalism and Climate Policy in the United States

This book explores how Washingtons efforts to act on climate change have beentranslated under conditions of American neoliberalism, where the state strugglesto find a stable and legitimate role in the economy, and where environmental andindustrial policy are enormously contentious topics.

This original work conceptualizes US climate policy first and foremost as aquestion of innovation policy, with capital accumulation and market dominationas its main drivers. It argues that US climate policy must be understood in thecontext of Washingtons broader efforts over the past four decades to dominateand monopolize novel high-tech markets, and its use of immense amounts of statepower to achieve this end. From this perspective, many elements of US climatepolitics that seem confusing or contradictory actually appear to have an obviousand consistent logic.

This book will be of particular interest to students and scholars of InternationalPolitical Economy (IPE), as well as individuals generally interested in gaining astronger understanding of US climate politics and policy, and the role and influenceof neoliberalism on contemporary economic governance.

Robert MacNeil is Lecturer in Environmental Politics in the Department of Government and International Relations at the University of Sydney.

Im massively indebted to all those who have helped and inspired me in one way or another with this book. First and foremost were those that helped supervise the project and provided invaluable insight along the way Mat Paterson, Jacquie Best, Sam Gindin, and Fred Block. These individuals were an embarrassment of riches when it came to support, guidance, and encouragement, and I am forever grateful to them.

Many other friends and colleagues have provided immensely valuable help, feedback, and inspiration for this work. Among many others, I really want to thank Cee Burton, Simon Dalby, Stacy VanDeveer, Cdric Jourde, Christy Thompson, Bill Janeway, Henry Mardukis, John Mikler, Neil Harrison, and Charlotte Epstein. This work has profited in immeasurable ways from their diverse empirical backgrounds and analytical approaches. A huge thanks also to Jessie Dill and the numerous helpful individuals working within the national laboratory system that took time out of their busy schedules to educate me about their work, the national lab system, and the US national innovation network. Also enormous thanks for the inspiration provided by all of the dedicated workers and activists I have been fortunate enough to meet within the climate movement over the past several years. Their influence has helped to provide a consistent rationale during an often tedious and frustrating process. Additionally, a huge thanks to Susanne Soederberg for all of her help and assistance in getting this work published, as well as to the reviewers, whose insights have dramatically enhanced the overall quality of the book.
