The Carbon Calculation: Global Climate Policy, Forests, and Transnational Governance in Brazil and Mozambique.

First, I believe the book documents a distinctively neoliberal moment of climate governance that can be productively counterposed to more recent developments in green industrial policy and international environmental regulation that apparently transcend traditional principles of neoliberal governance. In the last decade, an expanding literature in anthropology and allied disciplines has interrogated reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (or REDD) as a technology of governance that is rearticulating the geopolitical, financial, and environmental lives of tropical rainforests around the world. In particular, she argues that REDD embodies a neoliberal approach to climate change governance that reinforces market logics via increasingly penetrating modes of transnational governance.
