This book investigates the emergence and working of governance
networks in contemporary Russia. Drawing on a case study design, it
provides a novel comparison of seven policy issues each
investigated across various Russian regions or over time. Its
authors reveal that governance networks are a ubiquitous phenomenon
emerging in different regime types. It sheds light on how and why
state authorities interact with non-state actors and unravels
various types, functions and flavours of governance networks in
Russia. By precisely tracing how state authorities govern networks
under the terms of a hybrid regime, special emphasis is placed on
the analysis of 'meta-governance' tools. Moreover, the book allows
for theorising on governance in an increasingly authoritarian
regime and thus can also be read as a unique contribution to
research on governance theory in general. Creating a clear
analytical framework it reflects the richness of governance theory
and offers fresh perspectives on the nature of hybrid and 'new'
authoritarian regimes. This original work will appeal to students
and scholars of Russian Studies, public policy, political science,
sociology, and public administration.
The book offers new insights into how ethnicity, language and
regional-local identity interact within the context of Ukrainian
political reform, and indicates how these reforms affect social
cohesion among ethno-cultural groups. While the individual chapters
each focus on one or a few facets of the overall research question,
together they draw a nuanced picture of the multifaceted challenges
to creating and consolidating social cohesion in a nationalizing
state. The concept integrates various disciplines, including
political science, international relations, law, and sociology.
Correspondingly, the contributions are based on various
methodological approaches, ranging from legal analysis over media
discourse analysis, individual and focus group interviews to
analysis of data from a representative population survey. The
findings of the in-depth study are discussed within the broader
context of comparative research on diversity management and social
cohesion in fragmented societies.
