Abstract
⺠Separatist conflict and the tsunami in Aceh mean that this Indonesian province might be expected to show evidence of what Naomi Klein has termed 'disaster capitalism'. ⺠While neoliberal elements are present within important economic-geographical imaginaries in post-disaster Aceh, they are intertwined with and exceeded by other imaginaries. ⺠Four key economic-geographical imaginaries detailed in the paper unsettle any singular script of a 'disaster capitalism complex' at work in the reconstruction of Aceh.
