Bringing together scholars of human geography, environmental sociology, law, economics and international policy from Finland, Russia, Sweden and Germany, this book examines how local communities and enterprises adjust to transition and institutional changes in Northwest Russia.

A unique and important facet of the book is that it analyses the law and legal institutions, focusing on how those involved in law use or abuse it, in relation to unofficial institutions and the interplay of different interest groups in governing forest and fishery resources.

The local view is approached empirically with data gathered through interviews, which is then compared against institutional change at national level and in the global arena.

Multidisciplinary in nature, The Changing Governance of Renewable Natural Resources in Northwest Russia demonstrates innovative ways of adjusting to change, combining old and new, local and global, and providing a holistic view of the Russian economy and a society in transition.
