Environmental movement as a network socio-political actor
Abstract
Today, a politics including environmental politics represents a network interactions of a variety of social actors between them and with a social-political context. Therefore, a decision is not a «point of destination», but rather a process and a result of their various interactions in space and time. That is a process of governance. In this article Russian environmental politics is represented and analyzed as a network process indispensable for ecological modernization. Its structural and functional peculiarities as well as its «normal» and «mobilization» state are considered. The author draw attention to the ongoing process of differentiation of network actors on «transnationals» and «locals», and to the key role of environmental movement's leaders and their primary eco-structure in shaping and maintenance of these networks.
