- W2734554218 abstract "The recent promotion of monetary incentives for preserving the environment is beinginterpreted as a means of advancing capitalist interests. Until present most research onthis topic has concentrated on the strategies used by conservation organisations, privatecompanies and development institutions, while little is known about how peopleworking to make a living (hereafter “workers”) are experiencing the development ofgreen economies. This thesis seeks to fill this gap. It studies how the conditions ofworkers’ labour are being shaped by the social relations of production enabling thedevelopment of nature-based tourism and forestry-related payment for ecosystemservice (PES) projects in a group of villages in the Sine-Saloum delta, Senegal.Based on a six-month period of primarily qualitative fieldwork research and drawingconceptually on Marx’s critique of political economy, it explores three ways in whichthe social relations of capitalist production in this green economy have shaped labourconditions: a) the privatisation of 1800 hectares of mangrove forest through the creationof a tourism-oriented protected area; b) the activity of work in nature-based tourism andforestry-related PES projects; and c) workers’ mobilisations against exploitation andexpropriation.The thesis shows how, through expropriation, exploitation and class conflict, the greeneconomy benefits capitalist owners while separating workers from the ownership oftheir labour. Forest privatisation belongs to a broader process of primitive accumulationwhere workers enable capital accumulation through their adaptations to capital.Production in the green economy is based on social relations that perpetuate poverty,inequality and neo-colonial relations in neoliberal Senegal. The different contribution ofnature-based tourism and PES projects to capital accumulation and the importance ofclass conflict, workers’ disagreement and hope in this case study emphasise theheterogeneity and unpredictability of green economies. Socially-committed researcherswill benefit from integrating labour and the relations of production in their analyses." @default.
