Description
Book SynopsisRed to Green is an organizational analysis of popular environmental mobilization that addresses the continuing role of the Soviet legacy, the influence of transnational actors, and the relevance of social mobilization theory to the Russian case.
Trade Review"Laura A. Henry has produced a richly detailed book that introduces readers to the history and contemporary evolution of the Russian environmental movement. Through her analysis we learn how environmental organizations navigate Soviet legacies and post-Soviet opportunities as they seek to secure financial resources, engage the public and the state, and achieve their goals. Red to Green is an important book for scholars of Russian environmentalism as well as those interested in environmental activism, transnationalism, and civil society development."—JoAnn Carmin, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
"Red to Green is a very carefully researched and meticulous study of environmental movements in post-Soviet Russia. It is well written and theoretically sophisticated. It fills an important gap in the existing literature on comparative environmental activism."—Jane I. Dawson, Virginia Eason Weinmann '51 Professor of Government, Connecticut College
