TY - JOUR TI - FROM BUREAUCRACY TO MARKET? ONGOING REFORM AND PERFORMANCE CHALLENGES OF SOLID WASTE ADMINISTRATION IN MOSCOW T2 - Public Administration Issues IS - Public Administration Issues KW - Municipal Solid Waste Management KW - inter-municipal cooperation KW - Performance Challenges KW - Quasi-market Process KW - Urban Governance KW - Russian Federation AB - Russia is actively reforming its environmental sector and continually introducing new policies in waste management. This paper provides insight to the current system of municipal solid waste management (MSWM) in the Moscow megapolis and identifies the extant performance challenges caused by the misfit of moving from a predominantly bureaucratic system to a quasi-market process. While the Russian waste management reforms seem to be moving towards a western approach to mirror those of San Francisco, USA, the comparative analysis provided within the study reveals that there is better administrative compatibility with the Asian approach currently being implemented in Seoul, South Korea. Finally the paper provides suggestions for collaborative governance with regards to household waste management in the city.  AU - Rosaline Agiamoh UR - https://vgmu.hse.ru/en/2020--5/381939741.html PY - 2020 SP - 149-170 VL -
