The Knowledge Triangle Programme
The Knowledge Triangle programme was initiated by the Nordic Council of Ministers in 2011 with the aim to study and promote knowledge transfer between innovation actors in academia, industry and public sectors of the Nordic countries. Networks of relevant actors were established in key thematic areas to facilitate a systematic and sustainable model of cooperation with the long-term ambition to stimulate economic growth in the Nordic countries. In 2012, the programme was extended to include both Nordic and Chinese innovation actors. This publication is a collective work of partners of the Knowledge Triangle programme and provides an overview of the Nordic and Sino-Nordic networks. The publication acts as a report of the programme and as a guide for academia, research institutions and businesses to discover new models to build a strong knowledge base and accelerate innovation processes.
Women's Roles and Agency in Russian Society Before and During the War in Ukraine
Women's Roles and Agency in Russian Society Before and During the War in Ukraine tracks Russian societal development and transformation as reflected in women’s experiences, views, and agency. This book explores women's roles in various sectors of Russian society, including the labor market in the 1990s, entrepreneurship, politics, the social sector, and their engagement in civil society. The author employs interviews describing the experiences, views, and agency of Russian women in leading positions in the social services, NGOs, and elsewhere that serve to help vulnerable women. Their stories make visible how women's agency has changed in the face of growing authoritarianism in the region. Their work and position have become more perilous in the wake of the Russia-Ukraine War, and the increased attempts by authorities to cover up and silence social unrest.

Beyond the Cubicle
Beyond the Cubicle looks at the hidden ramifications of job insecurity upon workers' intimate lives, personal relationships, and crises of identity and self-worth. The broad and wide-ranging essays explore how changes in work have altered our emotions, reworked the interplay of gender, race and class, and contributed to a contemporary radical individualism in variety of contexts.
Women and the Birth of Russian Capitalism
Little has been known, acknowledged, or studied about the shuttle trade, one of the major manifestations of new Russian life of the 1990s. The term itself seems to suggest something of a rather small scale. Indeed, the amount of each transaction in this trade was miniscule. Individual peddlers traveled to near-abroad with their bulging bags and brought back home for resale only as many goods as they could personally carry in their enormous suitcases. The phenomenon hidden behind the term "shuttle trade" was by no means insignificant or small in scale. By the mid-1990s, it constituted the backbone of Russian consumer trade and was a substantial source of revenue. The primary participants in t...

Housing the New Russia
In Housing the New Russia, Jane R.

In 1992, the post-Soviet Russian government signed an agreement with the United States to create the Russian housing market. The vision of an American-style market guided housing policy over the next two decades. Privatization gave socialist housing to existing occupants, creating a nation of homeowners overnight. New financial institutions, modeled on the American mortgage system, laid the foundation for a market. Next the s...
