Environmental Problems in the Shortage Economy is one of the first
books to analyse environmental disruption under the Soviet economic
system. Using original Soviet data the author shows that
considerable damage has been done to the environment and that
measures which were intended to protect it have been largely
ineffective.A detailed account of environmental problems in the
Soviet economy is followed by discussion of two specific problems:
the ineffectiveness of measures to protect the environment and the
general mismanagement of natural resource extraction. In order to
explain these problems, a framework is adopted which views the
former Soviet Union as a shortage economy with environmental
problems as part of its general functioning. Further insight into
the impact of the shortage economy on the management of natural
resources is provided by a case study on the use of forestry
resources. The book also includes an account of Soviet academic
work in the field of environmental economics. This rigorous and
authoritative assessment of the implications of Soviet
environmental policy will be welcomed by environmental economists
and political scientists concerned with the wider legacy of the
Soviet Union and its economic policy.
