Abstract
In this chapter, the contribution of neoliberal reforms to social and environmental domination is analysed. In addition to this, the premises for conceptualizing their intersections are identified. It will be shown that neoliberal domination has given rise to a complex imbrication of economic, cultural and environmental domination.

Although tensions between neoliberalism and neoconservatism can be observed, both sets of ideas and values have often played complementary roles. As Phipps put it, “In neoliberalism and neoconservatism, business and theological models of state power have come together, and the two frameworks are at once hostile and complementary. They conflict over issues such as state spending, and neoconservative moralism is set against neoliberal nihilism and self-interest. However, they have hidden similarities in their regulation of the social sphere, which neoconservatism approaches directly via morality and policy while neoliberalism belies its free-market rhetoric by attempting to incentivize towards the ‘right’ choices” (2014, 10).
