 n*Talk Overview:*\nThere is a large literature on neoliberalism.  Over tim
 e the literature has expanded to cover a variety of different issues.  It 
 is almost universally critical and has become increasingly incoherent and 
 contradictory.  One thread within neoliberalism\, focusing on property rig
 hts\, casts the debate in terms of public ownership and intervention versu
 s private enterprise and ‘free’ markets.  However\, this obscures a mo
 re significant trend towards new approaches in governance that fall betwee
 n these extremes that we term institutional blending. This recognises the 
 major role of civil society\, reallocation of property rights\, provision 
 of assurance and of public\, private and third sector partnerships.  It in
 cludes a role for an interventionist state that embraces many of the mecha
 nisms that have been developed through neoliberal approaches. These will b
 e illustrated taking examples from rural land management.  The discussion 
 questions whether this may represent a post-neoliberal approach to public 
 governance.\n\nPlease contact the seminar organisers Philip Arestis (pa267
