It argues that the dominant understanding of sustainable development that promotes limited incremental changes to the capitalist development model can best be understood as the result of its gradual systematic co-optation and integration into the dominant neoliberal governmentality at the global and local levels. By analysing the gradual neoliberalization of sustainable development in the global and the Slovenian context it argues that these contexts are interdependent concerning the consolidation and resilience of the neoliberal vision of sustainable development in the face of multiple and multidimensional economic and environmental crises. By specifically focusing on the case of Slovenia it demonstrates and reflects on the crucial role of actors that formally and informally represent the public interest such as the state and the organized civil society in re-legitimizing and upholding the neoliberal vision(s) of sustainable development in the context of crisesTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Fakulteta za družbene vede
