“…(1) Benefit-sharing arrangements by Lukoil Komi (Nenets Autonomous Okrug) that were previously assessed as paternalistic [16]; (2) Benefit-sharing arrangements of Surgutneftegaz (Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug) that falls predominantly into the CSR mode as it employs transparent and standardized forms of social agreements with local communities [31]; and (3) Benefit-sharing arrangements of "Sakhalin Energy" and "Exxon Neftegaz Limited" (Sakhalin) in the form of a tripartite partnership [32].…”

“…This system of obligations is based upon the desire of powerful actors, e.g., companies and governments, and the decision-making process is neither formal nor transparent. In the mode of state paternalism, the state determines the rules of interaction, and the main decisions are made by public officials, while indigenous peoples are poorly involved in the decision-making process [16,18]. The paternalistic mode of management originates from the Soviet period, when all areas of life were under the control of the government.…”

“…According to the literature and our findings in Russia three ideal modes of benefit-sharing arrangements can be determined: (1) state and/or corporate paternalism [16]; (2) company-centred social responsibility (CCSR); and (3) partnership [17].…”

Abstract:This research provides an insight into various modes of benefit-sharing agreements between oil and gas companies and indigenous people in Russia's northern regions, e.g., paternalism, corporate social responsibility, and partnership. The paper examines factors that influence benefit-sharing arrangements, such as regional specifics, dependency on international investors, corporate policies, and the level of local community organization. It analyses which instruments of benefit-sharing are most favourable, and why, for indigenous communities. The authors conducted research in three regions of Russia (Nenets Autonomous Okrug; Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, and Sakhalin) by using qualitative methodology that involved semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. Theoretically, the paper builds on the concept of benefit-sharing arrangements combined with the social equity framework. We assessed each case study in terms of procedural and distributive equity in benefit-sharing. The paper demonstrates that the procedural equity is the highest in the partnership mode of benefit-sharing on the island of Sakhalin where companies implement globally-accepted standards recognized by investment banks. The cases in Nenets Autonomous Okrug and Khanti Mansi Autonomous Okrug represent a reset of Soviet practices on a market basis, but whereas the distributional equity may be sufficient, the procedural equity is low as decisions are made by the company in concord with regional authorities.

“…Benefit-sharing arrangements depend on indigenous peoples' control of their land and recognition by the state. In Russia, negotiations over benefits also are shaped by companies' need to fulfill CSR obligations and on indigenous communities' expectations of welfare provision formed during the Soviet period (Henry et al 2016;Tysiachniouk 2016).…”

“…Was it a coincidence that on 1 November 2012, the Ministry of Justice ordered RAIPON to halt its activity, claiming that its charter did not comply with current legislation? For further discussion of corporate social responsibility and citizens as stakeholders in Arctic oil extraction in Russia, see Henry et al (2016).…”
