 iew:*\nThere is a large literature on neoliberalis
 m.  Over time the literature has expanded to cover
  a variety of different issues.  It is almost univ
 ersally critical and has become increasingly incoh
 erent and contradictory.  One thread within neolib
 eralism\, focusing on property rights\, casts the 
 debate in terms of public ownership and interventi
 on versus private enterprise and ‘free’ markets.  
 However\, this obscures a more significant trend t
 owards new approaches in governance that fall betw
 een these extremes that we term institutional blen
 ding. This recognises the major role of civil soci
 ety\, reallocation of property rights\, provision 
 of assurance and of public\, private and third sec
 tor partnerships.  It includes a role for an inter
 ventionist state that embraces many of the mechani
 sms that have been developed through neoliberal ap
 proaches. These will be illustrated taking example
 s from rural land management.  The discussion ques
 tions whether this may represent a post-neoliberal
  approach to public governance.\n\nPlease contact

 c.uk) and Michael Kitson (mk24@cam.ac.uk) in the e
 vent of a query.\n
