Russia and the Politics of International Environmental Regimes is
an important and timely analysis of Russia's interaction with the
international environmental policy process. The three authors draw
on a wealth of research experience working within the region in
order to explore Russia s activities with respect to climate
policy, water protection and fisheries management. Their detailed
analysis provides an illuminating and much-needed insight into the
interaction between Russian foreign and domestic policy goals and
international environmental regimes operating at a range of
scales.' - Jonathan Oldfield, University of Birmingham, UK'This is
a timely contribution to our understanding of the motives behind,
and results to be expected from, Russia's international
environmental engagement. By focusing on climate change policy,
Barents Sea fisheries, and regional seas protection in the Baltic,
the authors judiciously conclude that trans-boundary environmental
commitments are primarily the result of 'great power' concerns
including domestic economic growth, regional trade, and a globally
favorable image - not ecological conscience. The book represents a
major step forward in post-Soviet foreign policy studies.' - David
Feldman, University of California, Irvine, US 'This valuable book
brings together the insights and research of three established
scholars. Students new to the environmental aspects of Russia's
international engagement will appreciate the clear and readable
case studies. The findings and discussion that result from the
authors' unique and rigorous cross-case comparison will be of great
interest to scholars of Russia s foreign policy and environmental
policy more broadly.' - Elana Wilson Rowe, Norwegian Institute of
International Affairs Russia and the Politics of International
Environmental Regimes examines the political relationship between
Russia and other states in environmental matters. Based on detailed
empirical analysis and data, including interviews and media
sources, this groundbreaking book scrutinizes the dynamics of
Russia's participation in international environmental politics. The
authors explore three detailed case studies focusing on climate
policy, water protection and fisheries management. They then
recommend how best to negotiate with Russia on key environmental
issues. This book will be of particular interest to scholars of
environmental politics, international relations and Russian
studies. Environmental policymakers will also find this to be a
useful tool when looking to understand environmental politics
within Russia. Contents: Preface 1. Introduction 2. Environmental
