Abstract

This article examines Russian environmental politics under Putin. It explores the extent to which Putin participates in the environmental policymaking process, concentrating on his role in agenda-setting and policy development. It also investigates the way that environmental issues are framed, and their function within the political system. The findings indicate that Putin plays a key role in shaping the policy agenda but is not involved in the day-to-day policymaking. In contemporary Russia, the environment has become a tool, and on occasions, a weapon, used by Putin to serve a broader agenda. The environment represents a source of regime stability and legitimacy, important for projecting state power to a domestic and international audience, managing demands from the population, and as a way of controlling civil society. Questions remain, however, as to how sustainable this approach to environmental issues is in the longer term.

摘要

本文考察了普京领导下的俄罗斯环境政治。它探讨了普京参与环境政策制定过程的程度，重点介绍了他在议程制定和政策制定中的作用。它还研究了解决环境问题的方式及其在政治体系中的作用。调查结果表明，普京在制定政策议程中起着关键作用，但不参与日常政策制定。在当代俄罗斯，环境已成为普京用来服务于更广泛议程的工具，有时甚至是武器。环境是政权稳定和合法性的来源，对于将国家政权投射给国内和国际受众，管理人口需求以及作为控制公民社会的一种方式都非常重要。问题仍然存在，
