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.
Presenting the political and cultural processes that occur within
the indigenous Sami people of North Europe as they undergo
urbanization, this book examines how they have retained their sense
of history and culture in this new setting. The book presents data
and analysis on subjects such as indigenous urbanization history,
urban indigenous identity issues, urban indigenous youth, and the
governance of urban "spaces" for indigenous culture and community.
The book is written by a team of researchers, mostly Sami, from all
the countries covered in the book.
The Sami are a Northern indigenous people whose land, Sapmi, covers
territory in Finland, Norway, Russia, and Sweden. For the Nordic
Sami, the last decades of the twentieth century saw their
indigenous rights partially recognized, a cultural and linguistic
revival, and the establishment of Sami parliaments. The Russian
Sami, however, did not have the same opportunities and were
isolated behind the closed border until the dissolution of the
Soviet Union. This book examines the following two decades and the
Russian Sami's attempt to achieve a linguistic revival, to mend the
Cold War scars, and to establish their own independent
ethno-political organizations.

Over the last fifty years, indigenous politics has become an
increasingly important field of study. Recognition of
self-determination rights are being demanded by indigenous peoples
around the world. Indigenous struggles for political representation
are shaped by historical and social circumstances particular to
their nations but there are, nevertheless, many shared experiences.
What are some of the commonalities, similarities and differences to
indigenous representation, participation and mobilisation? This
anthology offers a comparative perspective on institutional
arrangements that provide for varying degrees of indigenous
representation, including forms of self-organisation as well as
government-created representation structures. A range of
comparative and country-specific studies provides a wealth of
information on institutional arrangements and processes that
mobilise indigenous peoples and the ways in which they negotiate
alliances and handle conflict.
