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 contemporary authoritarian regimes.” —Linda J. Cook, Professor of Political Science, Brown University, USA “Governance in Russian Regions—A Policy Comparison is a significant theoretical and empirical contribution to interdisciplinary research on multidimensional aspects of subnational governance in today’s Russia. Its innovative approach reveals the combination of ‘vertical’ hierarchy with ‘horizontal’, collaborative networks and interactions between the state agencies, society and private interests. Presented case studies (HIV prevention, policies towards NGOs, climate change, child welfare, ethnic conflicts) corroborate an important theoretical conclusion that there are common features of governance that transcend regime types.” —Andrei Melville, Dean of the Faculty of social sciences, Higher School of Economics, Moscow “An original, refreshing entry into the analyses of Russian state-society relationship. Instead of usual statist top-down design, the authors apply network governance theory into the Russian case. The book provides a diversified picture of the dynamics how Russian state and civil society interact. Additionally, it makes a significant contribution to our understanding of how federalism, tripartite government, policy making and implementation really work in contemporary Russia. The developed, systemisized framework is useful to studies of other hybrid regimes as well.” —Meri Kulmala, Academy of Finland Research Fellow, Aleksanteri Institute, University of Helsinki
