Resumen
Recent development literature on Latin America has discussed whether a postneoliberal' era has
arrived. In this paper I argue that determining the arrival of a postneoliberal moment requires an
examination of how capital crises are resolved by the state and the market to see whether
institutions and the policy responses created by their interaction constitute a new approach to
capital accumulation. After presenting geographical debates on crisis formation, I focus on the
Infectious Salmon Anemia crisis that affected the Chilean salmon industry in 2008, and which
raised questions about Chile's neoliberal success and global integration. Using interviews, press
reports, and public data, I find that the policy responses that were implementednamely, a new
regulatory framework, increased state oversight, and geographical relocationdeepened Chile's trust
in a neoliberal economy. This finding suggests that, at least in terms of environmental governance,
we have not arrived at a postneoliberal moment.
