This open access book presents innovative and international research critically examining the effects of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) implementation on Indigenous and local peoples and linguistic minorities in the Arctic – and elsewhere, with a comparative focus. It includes anthropological studies and authors from different social and human sciences who engage synergistically with anthropological research. The volume presents knowledge that has been produced together with Indigenous communities and individuals. Its practical goal is to contribute critical knowledge to inform global environmental governance in order to fulfill better its purpose of increasing sustainable use of nature while improving the implementation of Indigenous rights and wellbeing.

This volume explores how different post-Soviet countries have reinterpreted and diverged from the Soviet gender roles and values. It synthesizes results from multiple empirical studies that attend to increasingly conservative features of political governance in the region, particularly the authoritarian regime in Russia. The authors consider diverse enactments of ideologies, policies and practices of gender equality and women’s rights in crucial areas, such as legislative institutions, media, and social activism. The volume contributes to understanding post-Soviet societal dynamics relevant to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 5, which emphasizes gender equality as part of fundamental human rights.
