Abstract

Since 2012, with a view to strengthen the development of strategically important regions, Russia has established several federal agencies responsible for these territories. The essay investigates one of these agencies: the Ministry for the Development of the Far East (Ministerstvo Rossiiskoi Federatsii po razvitiyu Dal’nego Vostoka). We identify two main trade-offs associated with the governance approach used in Russia—between federal power and local knowledge, and between bureaucratic expertise and novel ideas—and examine how the ministry has dealt with these trade-offs and their consequences for the ministry’s performance.

摘要

自2012年以来，为了加强具有重要战略意义的地区的发展，俄罗斯设立了多个负责这些地区的联邦机构。这篇文章调查了这些机构之一：远东发展部（Ministerstvo Rossiiskoi Federatsii po razvitiyu Dal'nego Vostoka）。我们确定了与俄罗斯使用的治理方法相关的两个主要权衡——在联邦权力和地方知识之间，以及在官僚专业知识和新想法之间——并研究该部如何处理这些权衡及其对部门绩效的影响.
