Governance in Russian Regions
“This book greatly enriches our understanding of policy-making processes in
authoritarian Russia. The authors show convincingly that the state depends on
resources of non-state actors to manage policy challenges. Their fine,
deeply-researched study analyzes how the resulting governance networks vary
across Russia’s regions and policy areas. The book makes a unique and valuable
contribution to scholarship on Russia, governance, and the complex politics of
contemporaryauthoritarian regimes.”
—LindaJ.Cook, Professor ofPolitical Science,Brown University,USA
“Governance in Russian Regions—A Policy Comparison is a significant theoretical
andempiricalcontributiontointerdisciplinaryresearchonmultidimensionalaspects
of subnational governance in today’s Russia. Its innovative approach reveals the
combination of ‘vertical’ hierarchy with ‘horizontal’, collaborative networks and
interactionsbetweenthestateagencies,societyandprivateinterests.Presentedcase
studies (HIV prevention, policies towards NGOs, climate change, child welfare,
ethnic conflicts) corroborate an important theoretical conclusion that there are
commonfeatures ofgovernance thattranscend regimetypes.”
—AndreiMelville, Deanofthe Faculty ofsocial sciences,
Higher SchoolofEconomics, Moscow
“An original, refreshing entry into the analyses of Russian state-society relation-
ship. Instead of usual statist top-down design, the authors apply network
governance theory into the Russian case. The book provides a diversified picture
ofthedynamicshowRussianstateandcivilsocietyinteract.Additionally,itmakesa
significant contribution to our understanding of how federalism, tripartite
government, policy making and implementation really work in contemporary
Russia.Thedeveloped,systemisizedframeworkisusefultostudiesofotherhybrid
regimesaswell.”
