Environmental governance in the Russian federation: Firms and regulator perception of environmental NGOs
Against the backdrop of increasing public awareness of global environmental challenges, this paper examines the potential for collaborative environmental governance in the Russian Federation. To do so, we examine regulators’ and firms’ perceptions of, and collaborations with, environmental non-governmental organizations (eNGOs) in three Russian regions. Our findings highlight that Russian firms rarely collaborateor include eNGOs in environmentall…
Achieving regulatory legitimacy in volatile institutional contexts: The case of Russian non-profits
This article examines organizational legitimacy within a volatile socio-political context. Drawing on qualitative data from non-profit organizations (NPOs) in the Russian Federation, we explore the question of how organizations gain regulatory legitimacy in such an uncertain and hostile socio-political context. Our study highlights that in such a context, the state often fails to grant regulatory legitimacy to NPOs. In response, NPOs seek to achi…
Neglected Transportation Infrastructure: Corporate Social Responsibility and the Russian State in a Small Siberian Oil Town
Verkhnemarkovo, a small Siberian town located on an oil field in Russia’s Irkutsk region, is plagued by bad roads and limited mobility. This article explores the relationship between corporate social responsibility and the wellbeing of individuals and communities, with a focus on transport and mobility infrastructure. Some oil companies, such as Irkutsk Oil Company, are tied to the sustainability standards of international financial institutions.…
Creating Organisational Strength from Operationalising Restrictions: Welfare Non-profit Organisations in the Russian Federation
The work of non-profit organisations (NPOs) in non-democratic country contexts tends to be judged on their contribution to the democratisation process rather than the activities they undertake. This neglects the potential impact NPOs have on societies within such contexts. In this study, we highlight that NPOs can influence public policy deployment in the Russian Federation even if they cannot affect public policy itself. By operationalising the …
Restrictive Institutions and Critical Resources: Non-Profit Organisations and Volunteer Resources in the Russian Federation
Resource management is essential for any organisation’s success. For non-profit organisations (NPOs) volunteers are a key resource. In this article, we examine how NPOs recruit, mobilise and manage volunteers in a challenging institutional and operational context. By drawing on a qualitative study of Russian health NPOs, our study highlights that the operational and institutional environment encountered by Russian NPOs leads to ‘management by net…
Managing Boundaries: The Role of Non-Profit Organisations in Russia's Managed Democracy
This article examines Russian human service non-profit organisations (NPOs) to investigate the nature of civil society in a managed democracy. Specifically the focus is on emerging vertical ties between NPOs and ruling and governing elites. Drawing on qualitative data collected from health and education NPOs in three industrial regions, we find that in establishing such vertical ties the role of organisations and individuals within is changing - …
Post-Soviet Civil Society Development in the Russian Federation: The Impact of the NGO Law
The passing of the Russian NGO Law in mid-2006 set clear parameters for Russian NGO activity and civil society development. In this paper we assess the impact of the NGO Law on both NGOs and Russian civil society. Our findings illustrate that the NGO Law has led to a reduction in NGO activity and curtailment of civil society development. We conclude that Russian civil society appears to be dominated by groups funded and thus controlled by the sta…
The state and civil society in Post-Soviet Russia: The development of a Russian-style civil society
This article examines the development of civil society in Russia. We argue that cultural and societal norms, which developed during the Soviet period, have continued to shape civil society arrangements in the post-Soviet period. We examine how parallel to recent changes in Russia’s economic, political and legal environment, shifts in Russia’s contemporary civil society arrangements have occurred. We argue that, similar to a Russian-style democrac…
The Continuing Reorganization of Russia's Environmental Bureaucracy: Regional Interpretation and the Response of Key Actors
Since 2000, Russia's system for regulating environmental protection and pollution has undergone radical change, leading to overlapping jurisdictions that increase inspections without improving control
Environmental Awareness and Sustainable Development in the Russian Federation
Drawing on empirical research from a qualitative study in the Russian Federation, this paper contributes to the limited academic literature on environmental awareness and sustainable development in Russia. Using data from nearly 100 interviews with firms, NGOs and environmental regulators, we explore current barriers to public environmental awareness and the avenues to sustainable development, in the context of a transition country. We conclude b…
Making a Difference? NGOs and Civil Society Development in Russia
The role of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in the development of Russia’s civil society has \nbeen the focus of academic study since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. In light of this \nliterature, this article aims to assess the impact of the movement that has most often been seen as very \npromising for Russia’s future civil society development—the environmental movement—by utilising \nresearch undertaken in Samara Oblast’ of the…
Structural causes of the global financial crisis: A Critical Assessment of the 'New Financial Architecture
We are in the midst of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. This crisis is the latest phase of the evolution of financial markets under the radical financial deregulation process that began in the late 1970s. This evolution has taken the form of cycles in which deregulation accompanied by rapid financial innovation stimulates powerful financial booms that end in crises. Governments respond to crises with bailouts that allow new …

Transitions in environmental risk in a transitional economy: Management capability and community trust in Russia
Following the collapse of the Soviet Union 10 years ago, the Russian Federation has undergone a radical social, political and economic transformation. This paper's focus is particularly on the consequences of this transformation for the natural environment. This is done by utilizing Beck's (Risk Society: Towards a New Modernity, London: Sage, 1992) concept of Risk Society to explore the interrelationships between managers, firms and communities i…
The Reorganization of Russia's Environmental Bureaucracy: Regional Response to Federal Changes
In documenting the merging of the State Committee for the Protection of the Natural Environment (Goskomekologiya) into the Ministry for Natural Resources (Minresursov), Peterson and Bielke (2001) made several predictions as to the merger's impact on environmental protection within the Russian Federation. Utilizing research undertaken approximately two years after the merger, this paper examines the reaction and response to these federal changes f…
Managing civil society: Democratisation and the environmental movement in a Russian region
The stalling of civil society development within the Russian Federation and its attendant causes have been a focus of academic study since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Alongside the emergence of a fragmented and chronically under-funded community of advocacy groups, the literature points to a rejection of democratic structures by the Russian populace and an absence of active civil engagement. Consequently, the international community…
Economic Transition and Pollution Control in the Russian Federation: Beyond Pollution Intensification
As stated at the outset, this article extends understanding of pollution control as manifest within the Russian economy. In so doing it presents a dismal outlook for pollution control and the protection of the Russian environment. There is strong if not conclusive evidence to suggest that economic transition has generated a pollution-intensifying effect. Moreover, these data also intimate that pollution intensification is only a, rather than the,…
