Correct answer: (A) Rational exploitation of nature — Neoliberals, working from a Lockean view, seek international regimes that optimise the rational exploitation of nature.
Explanation
★Neoliberals, working from a Lockean view, seek international regimes that optimise the rational exploitation of nature.
★In this Lockean universe, nature is treated mainly as a resource and a sink for waste.
★The approach rests on rational choice and on managing the environment for economic ends.
★It tends to overlook alternative environmental identities and non-market actors.
★Green theorists challenge this, arguing such regimes hold back genuine ecological reform.
★They call for counter-hegemonic movements against neoliberal economic globalisation.
★Their goal is environmental justice and sustainability through the agency of social movements.
★The clash sets neoliberal regime management against green and ecological approaches to world politics.
