A message from Carna Brkovic and Ainhoa Montoya, "Anthropology Matters" editors
We are pleased to announce that the latest issue of the journal "Anthropology Matters" is now out. This issue includes pieces that discuss the real or perceived opportunities to which neoliberalisation processes may have given rise. In doing so, it explores whether faith in such opportunities among various populations may have played a role in mitigating public opposition to the deregulation and austerity measures that have persisted even in the wake of the 2008 economic crisis.
