Highlights
Why REDD will fail begins with a bang
Political ecologists will readily place the critiques of REDD emphasized in the book within the larger conversation about the pitfalls of market-based conservation and sustainable development (e.g. Igoe et al 2007; McAfee 1999)
Had the authors devoted a section of the book to tracing the evolution of REDD within the broader ideology of market-based conservation, it would have eased some of their discussion and clarified what is otherwise a confusing timeline of REDD evolution
Summary
Why REDD will fail begins with a bang. Through this evocative title, the book promises to be a detailed critique of one of the most recent developments in market-based conservation, an approach that has risen to dominance in global sustainable development policy over the last few decades. Political ecologists will readily place the critiques of REDD emphasized in the book within the larger conversation about the pitfalls (and limited promises) of market-based conservation and sustainable development (e.g. Igoe et al 2007; McAfee 1999).
