This book is based on the research project "Integration and
nation-building in bi-cultural post-Soviet societies, the cases of
Latvia and Kazakstan." It focuses on a wide variety of theoretical
and methodological sources concerned with either nation-building
and/or ethnic integration.
Of all the states of the former Soviet Union, it is in Latvia and
in Kazakstan that the titular nation represents the lowest share of
the total population: as of 1997, approximately 57 per cent in
Latvia and 50 per cent in Kazakstan. In such a situation it is

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.
