Implementing Russia's International Environmental Commitments

How DO THE RUSSIAN AUTHORITIES GO ABOUT implementing their international environmental obligations? This question implies that implementation is here understood as the political processes taking place at the national, and possibly the sub-national, level after the conclusion of agreements or establishment of regimes at the international level. In the literature on international environmental agreements, processes at the domestic level are receiving increased attention.1 After an initial main focus on regime formation,2 the literature has in recent years come to be dominated by studies of regime effectiveness and the implementation, including processes at the domestic level, of provisions laid down by international regimes.3 By implementation we understand the active steps taken by public authorities or others in order to bring the behaviour of target groups into accordance with the country's international commitments
