Russian forest peripheries have become highly contested environments in the globalising world. Foreign and domestic companies have been investing in production and extending their round-wood procurement areas in the Russian taiga. At the same time, they are increasingly challenged by new environmental politics resulting from the activities of environmental organisations, governments and markets. This book approaches these issues from the multi-disciplinary and multinational perspectives. By exploring local situations in the Russian Northwest and Far East, the authors show how the new environmental politics is being formed within transnational networks and how it affects forest industrial enterprises and communities in Russia.
