Recenzii
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.
For decades Norwegian and Russian officials sat on opposites of a table - and a border - negotiating how to deal with the dangerous Sulphur and heavy metal pollution of the Pechenganickel Mining and Metallurgical Combine on territory annexed by the USSR from Finland in 1944. Using archival documents, government reports and other sources Rowe considers how commercial, industrial, political and environment disagreements ultimately derailed efforts to modernize the factory and minimize pollution. Rowe covers a broad period - fifty years - and neatly manages to tell the stories of Soviet period developments, the impacts of the Gorbachev reforms, and efforts at environmental safety and security during the Yeltsin and Putin eras. In spite of decades-long negotiations and several bilateral agreements with Norway, as Rowe explains, neither Soviet nor today Russian officials could allow the protection of nature to stand in the way of production.
