The North is intrinsic to the way most outsiders imagine Russia:
snow, long winters and the endless Siberian forests. Indeed, about
70 percent of the country's territory is defined as belonging to
the North. These inhospitable tracts contain immense natural
wealth, and large cities were constructed in Soviet times to supply
the labor force for extraction industries. Since the fall of the
Soviet Union, the Russian North has become both a burden and an
asset. It is overdeveloped, with its now obsolete mono-industrial
towns, and underdeveloped, with its still largely untapped natural
resources. Today's Russian authorities face the challenge of
developing a new Northern policy adapted to the realities of the
21st century. With its expert contributions from political science,
economics, geography, and anthropology, this book represents the
first comprehensive study in the Western literature of federal
politics towards the Russian North. In addition to mapping the
scope for federal governance, it covers such important issues such
as infrastructure development, natural resource management,
environmental affairs, and policies towards indigenous peoples.
