Beskrivning

This study addresses the many initiatives to decrease industrial pollution emitting from the Pechenganikel plant in the northwestern corner of Russia during the final years of the Soviet Union, and examines the wider implications for the state of pollution control in the Arctic today. By examining the efforts of Soviet industry and government agencies, Finnish and Swedish officials, and Norwegian environmental authorities to curb industrial pollution in the region, this book offers an environmental history of the Arctic as well as a transnational, geopolitical history.

Recensioner i media

Environmental negotiations with Russians have often been challenging and frequently unsuccessful. In his fine book, Lars Rowe reveals that Russian elites and even the public are not and feel no real reason to be concerned with environmental quality as a top priority. Unless that mindset is understood (or is changed), productive international engagement with Russia will falter. This is an insightful and relevant case study that deserves close attention.
