Fossil neoliberalism and its limits: Governing coal in South India
Abstract
Over the last three decades of neoliberalization, India's fossil fuel infrastructures have been transformed into an archipelago of coal-fired power plants and industrial ports in coastal zones. Drawing upon the case of coal infrastructures sited on the coast of south India, this article tracks processes of what I call “fossil neoliberalism”: the ways in which neoliberal modes of governance have transformed the state into an agent of market-based fossil fuel extraction. The article calls for attention to how particular technologies of governance—from disinvestment and initial public offerings to corporatized landlord ports—have reconfigured and respatialized, rather than reduced, the role of the state in processes of fossil fuel extraction. The article also analyzes how fossil neoliberalism, as an ensemble of market-based technologies of governance, is enabled by coastal zone illegalities and limited by political mobilizations.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
