“…This may at least partly be attributed to the fact that the legal framework only constitutes a part of an overall institutional framework that is typically characterized by path dependence, making implementation strongly susceptible by existing policy and practice. The institutional environment is hence crucial both for the feasibility of implementing new governance systems and objectives, as well as in terms of assessing the time-frame for specific collaboration [64]. The institutions' relatively enduring character also implies that, even if the formal rules are changed, change in the structures of human behaviour is typically a gradual and long-term process (e.g.…”

How to cite this paper: Pettersson, M., Oksanen, A., Mingaleva, T., Petrov, V. and Masloboev, V. (2015) AbstractThe regulatory framework for mining operations is complex; the licensing process in particular typically involves several laws and a number of permits. This paper assumes that the regulatory framework is strongly influenced by the institutional framework of which it is part, and that it suffers from an institutional path dependence that may decrease the efficiency of the system as well as act barrier to the implementation of necessary environmental requirements. The paper provides: 1) a legal analysis of the regulatory framework governing mining operations in Sweden, Finland and Russia; and 2) a comparative analysis of the scope of the environmental assessment within the licensing process in the examined countries. The result of the analysis of the regulatory frameworks shows great similarity between the Swedish and the Finnish systems, both in terms of the overall structure and the implementation of substantive environmental rules. The Russian system differs in this respect, with more declarative rules and seemingly less substantive assessments. The results also indicate that the regulatory frameworks in all three countries show signs of institutional path dependence, but in very different degrees. Though Russia has indeed implemented major changes in the formal structure, very little has changed in practice. The Swedish regulatory framework for mining shows a deficient systematics and conflicting objectives, despite the implementation of a comprehensive environmental legislation. The recently reformed Finnish system seems to have a more holistic approach.

“…However, already in the beginning of the 2000s, serious shortcomings of the system were observed [62]- [64]. Kotov [62] noted, for example, that mining operations were still carried out without a permit and that about 30 percent of the licensees did not comply with the legal demands for subsurface mining 12 .…”

“…But they are far from being monopolies, with competitive fringes occupying substantial segments of the oil and gas markets and disputing their dominant position. This market structure came about through a process which gradually sought to bring organization models into line with the specific features of the Russian institutional and economic environment (Locatelli and Rossiaud, 2011).…”

This contribution sets out to clarify the determinants and modalities by which Russian companies played a part in structuring the energy complex of central and eastern European countries. In so doing we seek to supplement state-centred analysis of realist inspiration. The Soviet legacy explains both the incentive for Russian companies to develop operations in downstream oil and gas in these countries and why, given the vulnerability of national energy systems, target countries tend to see such developments as a threat to their security. In this respect the mid-2000s may be seen as a turning point, with the downstream growth strategies of Russian energy suppliers increasingly called into question. JEL Q41 ; Q48

Recent literature models leadership as a process of communication in which leaders’ rhetorical signals facilitate followers’ co-ordination. While some studies have explored the effects of leadership in experimental settings, there remains a lack of empirical research on the effectiveness of informational tools in real political environments. Using quantitative text analysis of federal and sub-national legislative addresses in Russia, this article empirically demonstrates that followers react to informational signals from leaders. It further theorizes that leaders use a combination of informational and non-informational tools to solve the co-ordination problem. The findings show that a mixture of informational and non-informational tools shapes followers’ strategic calculi. Ignoring non-informational tools—and particularly the interrelationship between informational and non-informational tools—can threaten the internal validity of causal inference in the analysis of leadership effects on co-ordination.
