This book is the result of several years of co-operation between the Centre for Russian Studies at the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI) and the Polar Programme of the Fridtjof Nansen Institute (FNI). A joint project on centre-periphery relations in the Russian Federation started the formal co-operation in 1997, leading up to an international seminar on the same theme in Oslo in January 1998. The second co-operative project, carried out in 1999 and 2000, narrowed in on the northwestern periphery of the Russian Federation and its relations with the federal centre. It is the results of this project that are presented in this book. Both projects were financed by the Norwegian Research Council through its funds to further co-operation between the various Norwegian research institutes studying international relations. We would like to express our sincere gratitude for this support, without which this book would not have materialised.
The contributions to this volume are partly built on research previously conducted by the individual authors, partly on joint data collection during the project period.

We would like to thank Tatyana Barandova, Jon Fredriksen, Lyudmila Ivanova, Vladimir Kozlov, Nataliya Kukarenko, Boris Ostistyy and Galina Sokolvyak for intellectual and practical assistance during the visit.
