At the same time, the recent worldwide turmoil in financial markets and the attendant state interventions to stabilize financial institutions raise important questions about the shifting contours of the role of the public and private sectors in the economy, and the potential demise of the neoliberal era. Given these recent and on-going transformation processes in the neoliberal world order, this paper sets out to periodize neoliberal development policy in order to assess the extent to which the aforementioned transformations and policy changes represent the arrival of a new policy era after neoliberalism (for similar efforts, see Peck and Tickell 2002; Craig an Coterrel 2007; Brenner and Theodore 2002; and Graefe 2006). The paper argues that the current era does not mark the transcendence of neoliberalism by a new policy regime, but rather represents a deepening of (on-going) neoliberalization processes through a shallow re-embedding of markets and the introduction of more inclusively oriented development policies. The transformations of neoliberalism will be interrogated by theoretically building on Peck and Tickell's notions about roll out and roll back neoliberalism (Peck and Tickell 2002) and Craig and Porter's concept of inclusive neoliberalism (Craig and Porter 2005, see also .
