Description
Book SynopsisThis path-breaking book will be of enormous interest to scholars, researchers and students focusing on comparative environmental policy and politics, contemporary public policy in Russia, and international politics.
Trade Review‘A fresh and up-to-date discussion of Russia’s manifold environmental crises, using the results of an elite survey and a framework based on the civil society literature. I believe this is the best treatment of its subject that is presently available and, given Russia’s enormous territorial extent, it is a study that has important implications for everyone who has any concern for the future of Planet Earth.’ -- Stephen White, University of Glasgow, UK
