The United Nations has taken various actions in the less-developed regions of the world to deal with these concerns and at the same time to obtain a balance between the environment and the market or capital. This article explores the role of UN in administering the resulting environmental crisis through a process of 'development management' which is more about consolidating 'governmentality' in the developing world than reaching a solution to the poverty and environmental destruction driven by capital.</p>}, month = {12}, pages = {199-210}, keywords = {neoliberal capital,governmentality,primitive accumulation,environmental concern,development management,United Nations}, issn = {1073-0451}, publisher={University of Arizona Libraries}, journal = {Journal of Political Ecology} }
