"The book provides a detailed analysis of the development of adaptive governance in Russia and Finland. It presents a case study from the Sakha Republic in Russia that focuses on community’s participation in the process of governing of the flood events in the Tatta River area. Local adaptive practices are analyzed in relation to federal and regional responses that may mandate, encourage or collide with community’s agency. A second case study is centered on the Finnish community of Kuttura, Ivalo. It explores the mounting challenges presented by changing environmental conditions to traditional reindeer herding, as well as the efforts made to cope with these new factors. Combining anthropological research and political science, this penetrating work offers revealing scrutiny of governmental responses to one of the most urgent issues facing both politicians and the citizens who live in their domains."

"ABSTRAKResearch in public management (PM) has run into two obstacles. In western countries, shcolars complain that PM research neglects big questions about the overall design of government and its adaptation to new threats. Meanwhile, asian scholars complain about the western-centrism of PM research and its failure to account for the world's 195 states face the common challenge of devising a strategy for governing their territory and population that will achieve security, prosperity, and justice. These "strategies for governing" vary between countries and over time, as leaders wrestle with contradictions among goals, uncertainty about tactics, turbulent environmental condition, and sticky cultural and institutional inheritances. This is a macro approach to PM research that provides a framework for addressing big questions about governance while overcoming the western-centric bias of current scholarship. "
