Negotiating Northern Resource Development Frontiers

People, Energy, and Decision-Making in Yamal

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines contemporary models of co-existence and partnerships negotiated between local communities, government, and resource corporations in the Russian District of Purovsky (Arctic Yamal), with some reference to Russia's wider socio-cultural and political contexts and, more broadly, the circumpolar world. Yamal has Eurasia s richest oil and gas reserves, and is an important crossroads region where various geopolitical and financial interests intersect. Since 1998, a number of unique models of co-existence and participatory dialogue, involving public project reviews, and sound participation of local and indigenous activist groups have been developed and implemented in Yamal. Purovsky District has served as a unique decision-making polygon for the Northeastern Urals. Several joint community-industry-government political and economic cooperation models have been tested and their elements have subsequently been implemented in other Arctic Russian localities. This project is a fieldwork-based reflection on these important developments.
