Environmental Crime and Corruption in Russia (eBook, ePUB)

Federal and Regional Perspectives
Redaktion: Stoecker, Sally; Shakirova, Ramziya

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents a wide ranging assessment of the environmental problems faced by Russia and of the crime and corruption which contribute to them. It also discusses the attitude of the Russian government which seems to view environmental protection as something for rich countries, something to be postponed until Russia is on the same economic footing as wealthier Scandinavian and western European countries. It concludes, gloomily, that the problems are getting worse and that little is being done to tackle them.
