Governing the Locals - Local Self-Government and Ethnic Mobilization in Russia

Informationen zum Autor Tomila V. Lankina is an associate at the World Resources Institute and a faculty fellow at American University. Klappentext This book examines the impact of Russia's local self-governing institutions on nationalist movement mobilization in Russia. It is the first study identifying municipalities as central to explaining aspects of ethnic or broader social activism in post-Soviet Russia. Because the book is comparative in scope, it also contributes to debates on movement dynamics and nationalist mobilization in other national and institutional settings.
